Maintenance Program
Log Home Maintenance Program

Sawtooth Log Restoration has designed something new exclusively for our clients. We are now proud to offer an annual *maintenance program. We have taken the guess work out of log home maintenance.

After your home has been properly caulked. After the carpenter bees, carpenter ants and other wood boring insects have been eliminated. After it has been stained, sealed and completely restored, your home is still susceptible to one thing. Time.   

No matter how good of a job we do your home will still need work in the future. Our business is log homes. We have spent years researching new products, new methods and new equipment. We also know the time tested products, methods and equipment to take care of your home. Anyone can apply stain, but it takes experience to apply it properly. There is also a lot more to log home maintenance than just re-applying the stain every couple of years. Our program takes the stress and responsibility of log home maintenance out of your hands.

If you opt into our program we will contact you once a year reminding you of our annual service. During this inspection we look for any signs of insect or water damage. We make sure you don't have any new problem areas around your home that can cause accelerated log rot. This can include flower pots, wall hangings, trees, shrubs, decks, flashing, downspouts and a number of other things. We will also make sure our work is still up to par. If we find anything of concern we will inform you of the problem and what steps need to be taken to solve the problem.

Using an environmentally friendly cleaning solution, we saturate all stained surfaces included in the original contract with a low pressure rinse to remove mold, mildew, dust, dirt and pollen. Removing these food sources for mold and mildew greatly increase the length of time before they grow on the wood surfaces and greatly increase the longevity of the stain used. It also cleans the surface of the wood preparing it for another coat of stain.

Also included in this price is a maintenance stain coat on up to 1/4 of the total exterior wood surfaces as needed. We examine the home during the washing and take note of the high risk sun and weather damaged areas. Those areas are coated first. The decks and railings may require a light coat for the first year or two depending on weather exposure. This added stain will help build long term protection. From there we progress around the house starting with the south side and going on to the next most damaged wall the following year until the whole house has been re-coated.

The original maintenance contract price will be void if one year is missed. The maintenance contract is based on the original bid at the rate of 25% for up to four years or until the entire house has been re-coated.  

By taking advantage of our program, we can assure you peace of mind. You can rest easy knowing your investment will be monitored and protected by professionals.
