Log Home Services in Jackson Hole
We specialize in log and timber frame homes. Our tools, materials, and expertise are matched to this craft and this climate.
Media Blasting & Surface Preparation
What it is: The gentle removal of old stain, gray wood, and surface contaminants using organic blasting media.
Why it matters for your home:
- Preserves character. Corn cob and glass media clean without the harsh scarring of sand or the chemical residue of strippers
- Reaches the real wood. We remove the gray, weathered surface layer to expose fresh wood that absorbs new stain
- Prepares for longevity. Proper surface prep is the difference between a 3-year finish and a 7-year finish
Our blasting process is dust-contained and environmentally responsible. We protect your landscaping, windows, and surrounding structures while transforming the logs themselves.
Chinking Repair & Replacement
What it is: The flexible sealant between logs that keeps moisture, air, and pests out while allowing the structure to breathe and move.
Jackson Hole specific challenges:
Temperature swings of 40°F in a single day test chinking like nowhere else. Standard caulk fails. Cheap chinking cracks. We use Perma-Chink and Sashco products rated for the thermal expansion demands of mountain climates.
Our chinking service includes:
- Removal of failed, cracked, or separated existing chinking
- Backer rod installation for proper depth and flexibility
- Application of high-performance synthetic chinking in your choice of texture and color
- Detailing around windows, doors, corners, and complex joinery
Staining & Sealing
What it is: The protective finish system that shields your logs from UV, moisture, and the elements.
Our mountain-grade approach:
We don't use box-store exterior stains. Our formulations are designed for high-elevation, high-UV environments like Jackson Hole. Standard stains lose their binders to UV degradation faster at 6,200 feet.
The process:
- Consultation. We review color options, sheen levels, and performance characteristics
- Conditioning. Wood is prepared and conditioned for maximum absorption
- First coat. Applied by brush for penetration into checks and grain
- Second coat. Back-brushed for even coverage and build
- Final inspection. All logs, corners, and details checked
Rot Repair & Log Replacement
What it is: Surgical repair or replacement of logs compromised by moisture, insects, or decay.
When you need it:
Soft spots, visible fungal growth, or hollow-sounding logs indicate rot. In Jackson Hole, rot often starts where snow sits against the home, where gutters have failed, or where chinking has allowed water intrusion.
Our approach:
We remove damaged wood back to solid material, treat with borate preservatives to prevent future infestation, and splice in matching timbers when replacement is necessary. The goal is seamless integration with the existing structure.
Maintenance Programs
