Log home restoration projects
Log homes present unique challenges and require unconventional methods for repairs and alterations.

New joists to support a loft |
Framing a closet in the loft |
|
Custom doors for closet area |
Railing and flooring to match existing |
|
Logs ends often rot if they are not sealed when installed and resealed every few years. Repaired ends at right. |
 |
|
Sometimes the log face rots, but the core is good. |
To repair it, the face must be chipped off and a new log face attached on top of the old core. |
|
These old sliding doors were ready to be replaced |
So the homeowner decided to replace them with windows. |
|
New framing around crank-out windows - side and front |
 |
 |
Logs cut and ready to install under windows. |

Log faces installed under new windows to complete the look |
