Log Home Staining — Winter Park & Grand County
If your log home in Winter Park, Fraser, or anywhere in Grand County needs staining, restoration, or a maintenance coat — we do it all. We carry Sashco, Messmers, SuperDeck, and Rymar Extreme Weather because every log home is different. Your wood species, your elevation, your sun exposure — that's what determines the right product, not what's cheapest at the supply house.
Our Log Home Staining Services
Start to finish — media blasting or sanding the old coating off, washing, letting the wood dry to the right moisture content, then applying the stain system. We've done log homes from 1,200 to 6,000 sq ft across Grand County. The process doesn't change based on size; every home gets the same prep.
Grayed out, peeling, maybe some rot on the south-facing wall where the sun hits hardest. We've seen it all. We strip what's failing, treat the damage, re-chink where it's cracked, and put down a stain system that's actually going to hold at this altitude. Some of the worst-looking log homes we've restored ended up being our best portfolio photos.
The smart play is to re-coat before the stain fails completely. We set up a maintenance schedule based on which product is on your logs and how much UV they take — most homes up here need a touch-up every 3-5 years on sun-exposed walls. Way cheaper than a full strip-and-restain.
At 8,000+ ft, gaps between logs aren't just cosmetic — they let in cold air, moisture, and bugs. We check and repair all chinking and caulking before we stain. If we're stripping old finish anyway, it's the perfect time to address any seal failures. Skipping this step is how you end up with rot two years later.
Nothing looks worse than a freshly stained log home with a faded, peeling deck next to it. We stain decks, railings, trim, and exposed beams to match or complement the main structure. Same product line, same UV protection — everything looks unified when we're done.
We work with builders on new log and timber-frame homes throughout Grand County. The key with new construction is timing — the wood needs to hit the right moisture content before stain goes on, or it won't adhere properly. We coordinate with your build schedule to make sure that happens.
Products We Apply
Our go-to for full restorations and logs that have been through hell. Sashco penetrates deep, has serious UV blockers, and the finish flexes with the wood through freeze-thaw cycles. If your logs are heavily weathered or you're stripping down to bare wood, this is usually where we start the conversation.
If your log home faces south or west and takes direct afternoon sun, Messmers is hard to beat. It's a penetrating oil that handles UV exposure as well as anything on the market. Gives you a natural look that brings out the grain without building up a heavy film on the surface.
Backed by Sherwin-Williams, easy to get locally, and performs well for maintenance re-coats and budget-conscious projects. It's not the most specialized log home product, but for decks, trim, and exterior wood elements on a log home, it's a solid and reliable pick.
Built for the worst conditions Colorado can throw at wood. High-solids formula that puts down maximum protection per coat. When we've got a log home at 9,000+ ft that takes full winter exposure on multiple sides, Rymar Extreme Weather is often the right call.
