Log Finishing

What to Discuss Before Refinishing a Log Home

Condition, preparation, and maintenance expectations are the key conversations before a log home refinishing project.

What to Discuss Before Refinishing a Log Home

Assess the Existing Finish

Log homes are a hallmark of the Jackson Hole region, and their finishes behave differently than wall paint. Logs move with moisture and temperature, and UV breaks down coatings over time. The first conversation is always about the current finish — is it intact, fading, or failing?

Preparation Options

How the logs are prepared depends on their condition and the coating selected. We discuss the preparation options we actually offer rather than assuming one method fits every home. Getting this right is what lets the new finish perform.

Realistic Maintenance Expectations

No finish lasts forever on a log home, and we won't pretend otherwise. We'll give you a maintenance plan based on your exposure and coating so you know what to watch for and when to plan the next round of care.
