Log Homes Are Special
Unlike conventionally framed homes, log homes have their own unique requirements. Many contractors may be unaware or lack the necessary experience required. We recommend hiring our team of experienced log home experts to do a walk-through of your home. Often, the specific issues associated with a log home are not identified by a typical home inspector or residential contractor.
Complete Thorough Inspection
A log home can provide many years of great memories. To keep it healthy you need to give it an inspection every year.
-
Check Your home for insects
If your log home is not on at least a 12-inch foundation there is a possibility of termites. We recommend speaking with a licensed pest control expert who can also check for Carpenter Ants and Carpenter Bees which can bore holes in logs. They can also hollow out and colonize in the walls.
-
Issues regarding rot
A lot of older log homes unfortunately have short overhangs. This allows a lot of moisture at the base of the walls. This could lead to wood rot. Areas around dormers, door frames and windows frames are also prime locations for issues.
-
Evaluating the stain
The stain is not only there to protect from water but also help deter insects. It is recommended to reapply a log home engineered stain around every 3-5 years.
-
Checking for cracks and gaps
Unlike lumber, logs can shrink due to moisture loss over the years. This potentially leads to the cracking of logs as well as gaps developing between the logs. This greatly reduces the insulating properties of the logs, as well as opening it up to water damage.

Repair or Renovating of a Log Home
Taking care of problems before they get really out of hand is essential. Here are the most common repairs.
Staining
Most stains last from 3 to 5 years. At that point, most likely there are signs of wear and aging. You will need to pressure wash or sand or perhaps media blast the old stain from the log surfaces. Look for discolored or bare areas. Use a professional grade wood stain that will repel the moisture and other living things.
Insects
Depending on the type of infestation you will need to seek out a professional exterminator to help. If it is termites, you will need first contact a pest control expert and then contact a log home expert to help repair or replace logs.
Wood Rot
If you find wood rot you will need to replace portions of the log or the entire the log. It is recommended that his type of repair be completed by a professional. They can determine how deep the damage is and if it can be repaired or if it should be replaced.
Chinking
The filler between the logs from older days has mud cement and almost anything they could find to fill the space. That older system has been replaced by a modern engineered flexible chinking to create air-tightness.
We are a state licensed contractor for both California and Idaho, with 30 years of personal experience providing service to log home owners. Having a certified and insured contractor is essential.

Delighted with ProLog Crew
This was our first log home so to get it restored I checked different companies before hiring PROLOG for the job and I couldn’t be happier with them. The price was very fair and the workers were awesome. Jonathan was very knowledgeable and knew what we wanted. I would definitely recommend them for any project.

Beautiful Work! Judith D
Had Jon and his crew out to do log rot repair on our log home we recently purchased. They were thorough, explained the process and options (we also had them quote other restoration plans we have). Great crew, responsive and did an amazing job replacing the rotted areas. We will be using them for any further restoration we plan to have done.
Great Crew, Responsive and Did Amazing Job James K
ProLog recently completed some significant work on the exterior of our log home. The work quality was performed to a level well beyond our expectations. The crew took the representation of their company to heart, taking time to explain each facet of the restoration, requesting input from us as homeowners when needed, and making sure we were happy with everything they did. The crew was efficient, but also took a meticulous approach toward making sure each task was performed to the highest standards. They travel all over California and their obvious expertise makes it easy to heartily endorse this company.

I cannot say enough positive accolades for ProLog. Jon Cassaday, the owner of ProLog has the VERY best crew that I have ever had do work for our home! The foreman cannot be beat! He is a true craftsman and is so pleasant to work with. The entire crew worked tirelessly for up to 10 hour days. Anyone who needs log repairs on their log home cannot ask for a more competent restoration log company anywhere. They drove over 300 miles to repair our logs!! The end result is perfection!!!
VERY best crew that I have ever had do work for our home Carol Y.
I just wanted to take a minute to thank you and the rest of the group at ProLog for the recent work you did on my house. The work quality was top notch and I think you should know that your crew represented your company with attention to detail and careful consideration for the home owner. I have worked with numerous construction crews who clearly didn’t care that much for how they interacted with the client, and I want you to know that the guys who worked on my house really reflect well upon your company. We couldn’t be happier with the work.
Quality was top notch Caleb
I’m rather pleased and my wife likes the work too! The neighbors are commenting on how good it looks!
How Good Our Log Cabin Looks Log Home Owner

Great Attention to Detail Don and Denise C.
ProLog Restorations just finished a media blast and stain project on my Mt. Shasta log cabin. The results were amazing and at a very fair price. The hard-working crew was very meticulous and thorough. This company was the most professional and communicative of all that I contacted. I strongly recommend ProLog for your log home projects.
I strongly recommend ProLog Restorations Greg K.
We are simply amazed at the difference in the look of our cabin since you restored it. The new finish gives a golden hue that makes the cabin more homey and welcoming. The log siding you added gives our cabin a more rustic feeling. The front porch is spectacular, especially when it is raining! We no longer have to walk through a drip line and we can sit on the porch in any kind of weather to enjoy the peacefulness of our property. We are impressed by the fact you finished quickly and did a high quality job. Your employees are highly professional, extremely skilled, and focused on quality.
The difference after they did the work was amazing! Bunny L.
They are doing great restoration work! I cannot say enough great things about ProLog and Jonathan. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a quality company to help fix damage done to a log home.
I can’t say enough great things about ProLog Bob V.
Jonathan and his crew at ProLog are real craftsmen. Their work is professional and fairly priced. They came to my cabin when they said they would and stayed until the job was done. They take great pride in their work. If you own a log cabin, or just purchased one, you should call ProLog to assess your logs. They do excellent work in maintaining the integrity of the logs and can fix anything!
Excellent work in maintaining the integrity of the logs Bob V.
I feel so blessed and fortunate to have been referred to your company. I found each of you to be very respectful, professional, understanding my questions and provide answers that were appropriate to the questions. When I drive into my driveway and see my “new” home, I am amazed at how beautiful it is! I am so very appreciative to each of you. A big THANK YOU to each of you.
Love my “new” log home Grace V.
