How to Maintain a Log Home in Colorado

Published by Derek Shandonay • Mountain Man Painting

Annual Washing: Wash logs annually with gentle wood cleaners to remove dust, pollen, and atmospheric pollutants.

Gutter Maintenance: Keep gutters clear so rainwater doesn't splash continuously onto lower log courses.

Vegetation Trimming: Trim branches at least 3 feet away from logs to allow air circulation and sunlight drying.

Inspect Caulking & Chinking: Repair minor log cracks and joint gaps before winter freeze-thaw cycles.
