Care plans

Keep it from needing another restoration

A restored log home that gets looked at once a year and recoated on time can go decades without another full strip. Care plans put that on a schedule.

Yearly

Checkup

A yearly walk-around and written condition report, so small problems stay small.

  • Full exterior inspection, every wall
  • Moisture readings logged per elevation
  • Caulk, chinking and check review
  • Insect and rot spot-checks
  • Written report with photos and a priority list

Best for Homes restored in the last few years, or anyone who wants a baseline.

Priced after inspection

Every 2–3 years

Refresh

Clean, touch up and recoat the walls that need it before the finish fails.

  • Everything in Checkup
  • Gentle wash to remove dirt, pollen and mildew
  • Caulk and chinking touch-ups
  • Maintenance topcoat on sun-facing walls
  • Spot-repair of small finish failures

Best for Homes with a sound finish that’s starting to fade on the south and west sides.

Why maintain

The cheapest coat is the one done on time

Log finishes wear unevenly. South and west walls take most of the sun and usually need a maintenance topcoat every 3–5 years. Shaded walls can go longer but are more prone to mildew.

When a maintenance coat goes on over a finish that’s still intact, there’s no stripping, less prep and less product. Wait until the finish fails and water starts getting in, and you’re back to stripping to bare wood, and often repairing rot as well.

A care plan means someone checks every wall each year, keeps records of what was used, and tells you which walls need what before it becomes urgent.

FAQ

Care plan questions

How much do care plans cost?

Every plan is priced after a free inspection, because the size of your home, its exposure and its current condition all change what the work takes. You’ll get the price in writing before you commit.

Do I need a full restoration before I can join a plan?

No. If your finish is still sound, you can start with a Checkup or Refresh. If the inspection shows the finish has failed, we’ll recommend a Full Restoration first. The plan picks up from there.

Can I switch plans?

Yes. Plans are based on what your home needs. If a Checkup shows a wall needs attention, we’ll recommend a Refresh for that wall. Nothing happens without your approval.

What records do you keep?

Moisture readings, photos of every wall, and the exact finish product, color, batch and coat count. That’s what lets maintenance coats match years later.
