Signs Your Log Home Needs to Be Restained

Published by Derek Shandonay • Mountain Man Painting

Water Test: Spray water on logs—if it darkens or absorbs rather than beading up, your protective sealant has worn away.

Color Fading & Graying: UV rays bleach log stain, exposing bare wood fibers to rot.

Peeling Finish: Old non-breathable film-forming stains cracking or flaking away.

Gaps in Chinking: Deteriorating sealant letting moisture or air leaks penetrate log joints.
