Project Details
Expert Log Home Restoration & Maintenance in Park County
This stunning log home renovation project in Como, Colorado showcases our comprehensive approach to log home maintenance and log home restoration. Our team completed a full transformation including pressure washing, professional staining with oil-based finish, and expert chinking repair—services essential for preserving log homes in Park County's challenging mountain environment.
Services Completed
- Pressure Washing: Deep cleaning of all exterior logs to remove dirt, mildew, and oxidation accumulated from Park County's high altitude and intense UV exposure
- Staining with Transformation Oil-Based Finish: Two coats of premium Transformation oil-based stain for superior UV protection and enhanced wood color, critical for Park County's 300+ days of annual sunshine
- Professional Chinking: Gap sealing and weatherproofing to maintain structural integrity and energy efficiency against Park County's harsh winters and temperature fluctuations
Project Highlights
The dramatic transformation reveals the natural beauty of the logs after our meticulous cleaning and restoration process. The two-coat oil-based finish provides long-lasting UV protection and enhances the rich golden tones of the wood. Professional chinking ensures weather-tight sealing of all gaps, protecting the home from Colorado's harsh mountain climate and preventing water infiltration during heavy snow seasons. This project exemplifies best practices for mountain property restoration.
General Log Home Maintenance for Park County Properties
Log homes in Park County require specialized maintenance due to the region's unique mountain climate. At 9,000+ feet elevation, log homes face constant UV radiation, significant temperature swings between seasons, heavy snowfall, and rapid moisture cycling. Regular inspections—typically every 2-3 years—are essential to catch wood degradation, chinking failure, and weathersealing issues before they become costly problems.
Annual Maintenance Checklist
- Spring Inspection: Check for winter damage, ice dam issues, and assess chinking integrity after freeze-thaw cycles
- Summer Preparation: Power wash to remove pollen and dust, inspect stain condition for UV damage, check for mold and mildew growth
- Fall Maintenance: Clear gutters of pine needles, inspect roof and flashing, ensure proper drainage before winter
- Winter Monitoring: Watch for ice dams, monitor for water intrusion, assess siding and chinking after snow load stress
Professional Log Home Inspection Services
Our comprehensive inspection process evaluates structural integrity, wood health, chinking and caulking conditions, stain/sealant effectiveness, moisture penetration risks, and overall weatherproofing. We use advanced moisture meters and thermal imaging to detect hidden problems invisible to the naked eye. Park County's extreme weather demands proactive inspection—waiting for visible damage often means structural compromise and exponentially higher repair costs.

Why Professional Restoration Matters in Park County
Mountain properties in Park County face unique challenges from intense UV exposure, temperature fluctuations ranging from -20°F to 85°F+ seasonally, heavy snowfall, rapid moisture cycling, and thin air that accelerates wood weathering. Our professional-grade materials and expert techniques ensure your log home maintains its beauty and structural integrity for years to come. The transformation oil-based finish we applied offers superior penetration and adhesion compared to surface-level coatings and provides the durability Park County homes demand.
