Log Home Staining & Refinishing

Florida sun is brutal on exterior wood finishes — and once a stain fails, the wood underneath is exposed to moisture and rot.

Log home gable finished in a deep brown stain

UV breaks stain down years faster here than in cooler, less sun-intense states — and once a finish fails, the wood underneath is exposed to moisture and rot. We refinish log homes with products chosen for Florida's specific climate, not a one-size-fits-all national approach.

What's Included

Surface prep — cleaning and, where needed, media blasting old finish off
Stain and sealant application built for UV and moisture resistance
Attention to joints and end-grain, where failure usually starts first

Crew member applying fresh stain to the gable end of a log home — Stain going on at the gable end, where sun exposure is heaviest and finishes break down first.

Signs Your Log Home Needs Restaining

Fading, dull, or chalky sheen instead of a clean, even color
Wood that feels dry or rough instead of smooth
Water that soaks straight into the wood instead of beading up
Dark staining or mildew showing through the finish
Visible wear concentrated on south- and west-facing walls

In Florida's sun and humidity, most homes need a fresh maintenance coat every 3 to 5 years — sooner on the walls that take the most direct sun.

Log home siding with failing stain peeling away from the logs before restoration — Once a stain peels like this, recoating over it will not hold. The old finish has to come off first.

Staining & Refinishing: Before, During & After
