OLD FINISH REMOVED

Rochester winters and Finger Lakes humidity break down log cabin finishes from the outside in. The stain bleaches, lifts off the south face, and lets moisture into the wood — that's when blotching, mildew, and log rot set in. Most log homes in Upstate NY need a full restoration every 3–7 years, depending on sun exposure and the original coating system.

Slapping new stain over failing coatings doesn't work. The fresh coat bonds to whatever is underneath — and if the old finish is lifting, the new stain comes off with it inside a season. Power washing isn't enough either; it pushes water into the logs and leaves residue that ruins coating adhesion. The only durable fix for log cabin restoration is mobile sandblasting — taking the logs back to bare wood and rebuilding the stain system from there.

WHAT WE REMOVE

– Failing UV-degraded stain

– Mildew & surface rot

– Gray oxidized wood fiber

– Old paint & lap-marks

WHAT YOU GET BACK

– Clean, even bare wood

– Uniform stain absorption

– UV + moisture protection

– A finish that holds 5+ years

Our log cabin sandblasting & re-staining process

Here's exactly how we sandblast and re-stain a log cabin on-site — every step deliberate, every detail accounted for, no surprise change-orders.

Step 01
Step 02
Step 03
Step 04
Assessment & prep
01

Assessment & prep

Every job starts with a walk of the cabin and a written scope. We spec the media, pressure, and stain system before any equipment comes off the trailer.

  • On-site walkthrough — moisture readings, finish-failure mapping
  • Mask windows, doors, gutters, HVAC, landscaping
  • Stage rig & containment per blast zone
Mobile sandblasting
02

Mobile sandblasting

Specialized low-impact blast media strips the logs back to fresh, bright wood. Hand-sanding or power-washing alone can't replicate this — they leave residue that wrecks adhesion.

  • Pressure & media tuned per log species & condition
  • Removes UV-gray fiber, mildew, lifting stain
  • Tough on coatings — gentle on the wood grain
Detail sanding
03

Detail sanding

Optional

Not every cabin needs it. Because we tune the blast carefully, most logs come off the rig already smooth — we only hand-sand the spots that genuinely need a touch-up before stain.

  • Knock down any raised wood "fuzz"
  • Feather around carvings, corners, chinking
  • Job-by-job — only where the wood calls for it
Premium stain & seal
04

Premium stain & seal

A premium log-home coating goes on bare, thirsty wood — that's when it bonds deepest. We work it into checked areas and end-grain, then seal the system.

  • Multi-coat application per manufacturer spec
  • Stain worked into checks & end-grain
  • Topcoat seals against UV, water & mold
