How to Stain a Log Home or Cabin in 6 Easy Steps

Do I have to re-stain my log home every year?
No, not unless you use an inferior stain. Our warranty says we want you to recoat every 48 months. The new stains that the top stain manufacturers produce are so much better now that all you have to do is stain the new home and then apply a compatible topcoat. The topcoat is actually what is protecting the stain and is what you will use when it is time to recoat. Any time spent on outside maintenance will be SAVED on the inside because once the inside had been stained and sealed it is like furniture, good for life.
