Luce County cabins toward Tahquamenon, the Two Hearted, and Seney take long winters, deep shade, and wet springs. We blast, repair, re-chink and stain so inland snowmelt does not live in the logs.
Newberry log homes are inland snowbelt: long cold, cedar shade, and camps off M-123 and toward the Two Hearted that sit empty while snow works the lower courses. We restore cabins in Newberry, McMillan, and out toward Tahquamenon and Seney — blasting grey wood, cutting out rot, and sealing for a real UP winter. See all of the Upper Peninsula →
Empty hunting camps fail the same way: snow against logs, failed chinking, then ants. We strip, repair, and reseal so the camp is still sound when you open it.
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.
Luce County freeze-thaw in open checks is how lower courses rot. Replacement runs into the tens of thousands. Assess and seal before hunting season, or right after you close up.
