Log Home Washing

What This Service Involves

Log homes have deep grooves, checking, and chinking that collect moisture and organic growth in our forested, rainy setting. We soft wash the logs with wood-safe cleaners that lift mildew and pollen from every crevice without blasting out the chinking. High pressure can drive water into the checks and behind the seals, so we keep the flow gentle and let detergents reach the buildup. The logs regain their warm tone and the joints stay sound, ready for a fresh coat of finish when needed.
