Granby log homes face some of Colorado's coldest winters and plenty of snow. Tight chinking and well-sealed log ends keep moisture and drafts out.
Grand County is known for cold. Deep freezes, heavy snow, and freeze–thaw cycles find any gap in chinking or failing stain.
At around 7,900 ft, UV exposure is far stronger than at sea level. South- and west-facing walls fade and dry out first.
Water that gets past worn stain or cracked chinking freezes, expands, and opens checks that invite rot.
Big day-to-night swings keep logs moving. Chinking has to stay flexible and log ends need their own sealer.
UV-protective stain and clear coats made for log homes.
New chinking and patch repair to stop drafts, water, and insects.
Sealing and repair of checked, weathered log ends.
Removing dirt, mildew, and failing finish before new coats.
Media-free stripping back to clean, fresh wood.

Late spring through fall is usually best, when daytime and overnight temperatures stay warm enough for stain and chinking to cure. Interior work and assessments can happen year-round.
Common signs are gray or faded logs, water no longer beading on the surface, cracked or separated chinking, checking on log ends, and soft spots near the bottom courses or under rooflines.
Every home is different, so we start with an on-site assessment and give you an itemized written proposal. Our standard terms are 50% at project start and 50% on completion.
