At Northern Log Care, we specialize in Wood Home Refinishing Services in WI, helping homeowners across Wisconsin restore and protect their log and timber homes.

Whether your home needs a deep clean, a fresh coat of stain, or full restoration, we deliver expert craftsmanship and results built to last.

Our Refinishing Process

Northern Log Care’s refinishing services follow a detailed, proven process designed for Wisconsin’s climate and wood types. Each step enhances durability, visual appeal, and long-term protection.

1. Cleaning & Preparation

We begin by removing dirt, mildew, and old finishes through gentle washing or sanding. This ensures the wood is clean, smooth, and ready to accept new coatings that will bond properly and last longer.

2. Sanding & Surface Smoothing

Our sanding process removes rough spots, old coatings, and sun-damaged areas, exposing the natural grain of the wood. This allows for even absorption of stains and sealants, resulting in a smooth and consistent finish.

3. Staining & Color Restoration

High-quality stains are applied to enhance the wood’s natural tone while offering protection from UV rays, water, and temperature changes. Clients can choose from a range of finishes to complement their home’s style.

4. Sealing & Weatherproofing

We apply a durable sealant to lock out moisture and protect against rot, mold, and insects. Proper sealing extends the lifespan of the wood and reduces future maintenance needs.

5. Log Repair & Restoration

Damaged logs are repaired or replaced as needed to restore both strength and appearance. Our team addresses cracks, rot, and insect damage to ensure structural stability and lasting protection.

6. Chinking & Caulking

Gaps between logs are sealed with Conceal® textured caulking, which matches natural wood tones. This step improves insulation, prevents air leaks, and protects against water intrusion.

7. Finishing Touches

To complete the process, we add trim details, clear protective coatings, and other finishing elements that create a polished, professional look.

8. Deck Refinishing (Optional)

We also refinish decks to match the newly restored exterior. Our process cleans, sands, stains, and seals outdoor wood to resist fading and moisture damage.
