Log Replacement and Repair
Log repair and replacement becomes necessary when dry rot or damage from mold, mildew, insects and long-term wear-and-tear affects the soundness of the logs. Damaged logs must be repaired or replaced to support the structural integrity of the home and keep it warm, safe and strong for years to come.

We can repair or replace logs on your home or place of business, and can even make custom logs that will fit the look, style, and appearance of the structure, no matter how old it is.
If you own a log home or place of business, you’ve probably seen small cracks throughout your log walls. These are also known as “checks” and they occur naturally in wood as it ages. Small checks, which are cracks that do not go all the way through the diameter of the logs, are natural and not a cause for worry. They do not hurt the structural integrity of log homes.
While most of the time checks are nothing to worry about and just add character and charm to the look of your home, when they reach a certain size they can cause problems and should be addressed by a log home professional.
A large crack, which is also called a split, is more severe and often passes through the diameter of the log. These cracks or splits indicate damage to the log that could have come from improper drying techniques, lack of proper maintenance, or carrying too much weight. Logs or beams with severe cracks should be replaced or repaired as soon as possible to maintain the structural integrity of your home.
