Exterior Log and Cedar Home Staining FAQs

How often should I stain my log home exterior?

Most log home staining should be refreshed every three to five years, depending on sun exposure, wood type, and previous finish quality. Regular maintenance protects against fading and moisture damage.
Oil-based and hybrid exterior log cabin stains perform best in Minnesota’s freeze-thaw climate. We use top-quality products that balance UV protection with a natural wood appearance.

Can you match existing cedar stain colors?

Yes. Each cedar wood stain is custom-matched on-site to preserve consistent color across siding, trim, and other stained cedar surfaces.
We inspect every log and cedar surface and remove loose, failing finishes before applying new log home stains. This ensures proper adhesion and lasting protection.
