Ishpeming and Negaunee log homes take Marquette-range snow, mine-country freeze-thaw, and sun on Teal Lake and Lake Bancroft lots. We blast, repair, re-chink and reseal so range winters do not grey the logs out.
West of Marquette, Ishpeming log homes sit in iron-range weather: heavy snow, cold nights, and cabins on Teal Lake, Lake Bancroft, and toward National Mine. We restore those places — blasting failing finish, cutting out rot, and staining for a snowbelt that is not quite Superior shore and not quite inland quiet. See all of the Upper Peninsula →
Checked logs and failed chinking fail first on the range. We strip, repair, and reseal so melt off a Teal Lake roof does not sit in the wall.
Strip, prep and apply premium log stain and clear coat that repels water and blocks UV graying.
Corn-cob or glass blasting strips old failing finish and grey wood back to fresh, bright logs.
Re-chink and seal gaps to stop drafts, water and bugs, and cut heating bills.
Rotted or damaged logs cut out and replaced, and log ends restored.
Decks, timbers and outdoor wood cleaned, repaired and sealed to match.
Periodic re-coats to keep your finish protected and your warranty intact.
Once water is in the wood, rot and ants follow — and log replacement costs tens of thousands. Restore this season, before another range winter.
