Stains on Log Homes

The log home below was completed in 1995 and stained with
Sikkens (a Scandinavian product developed for log homes). The product directions recommended three brushed coats but this close to the end of the job the wallet was getting thin - two sprayed coats were applied. In 2004, the home was powered washed and three brushed coats of Sikkens applied by
Paint by Joe, Inc. The two photos were taken a year later. |

 This wall faces northeast and is heavily shaded by trees. |

 Staining a deck begins first with cleaning, then brightening the surface of the wood by power washing. Renegade brand stain from AWA was used on this deck to give a furniture like finish that will last for years even after long snowy Colorado winters. This Deck was finished by Log Home Finishing in Colorado.  Finish applied by Paint by Joe, Inc approximately one year after the home was completed. This is the B&H standard model, "The High Country."
