Maintenance Plans

The CabinSmiths can design a custom maintenance plan to ensure the safety, comfortability, and beauty of your log cabin or timber frame home through the years.

Maintenance for a water-based stain typically requires periodic clear coat re-application (manufacturer’s recommendation is generally every 3-5 years). Oil-based stains vary on reapplication time depending on whether it is a penetrating oil or a film-forming oil. Whatever your type, we’ll give you a custom roadmap for maintaining your home’s stain and sealant system given your home’s climate/environmental factors.

In the in-between, we offer annual inspections with a light wash and touch up of trouble spots. An inspection will ensure that you are “on top of” any new situations that might threaten your home’s protection, including failing sealants, new critter infestations, gutter failure, or the beginnings of log rot.

We want to earn your trust as your go-to team for the regular maintenance of your home, offering you experience, expertise, and peace of mind.
