Log home & house staining.
Seymour, Columbus & the rest of Southern Indiana
Log homes and wood siding need a good stain to stay protected and looking right, like the cabin we stained in Heltonville.
How we do it
Logs and wood siding move, check and weather more than painted siding does. We clean the wood, let it dry, and work the stain into the surface and the checks, so it protects the wood instead of just coloring the top.
Garages, porches and outbuildings can be done at the same time so everything on the property matches.

Questions about house & log home staining
Something we didn’t cover? Call (317) 220-5912 and ask.
How do I know my log home needs stain?
The color fades, the wood starts to gray, or water soaks in instead of beading up. Catching it early costs less than repairing logs that have taken on water.
Can you match my current color?
Usually, yes. Tell us what’s on it now, or we’ll test a spot.
Do you travel for cabins?
Yes. The cabin in the photo is in Heltonville, out in Lawrence County.
Can you stain the garage and barn too?
Yes. Outbuildings are easiest to do while we’re already set up.
