We inherited 25 year old log home. Overall in good

(0 comments)

QUESTION: We inherited 25 year old log home. Overall in good shape but exterior exposed logs are dull dirty dark and look like mildew causing discoloring. The logs under covered porches are dirty but glossy and lighter in color n shiny. I was going to PRESSURE wash with TSP and get mold mildew and dirt off n see what it looks like. I have no idea what type STAIN water or oil base is on the logs?? The House is solid n so is chinking. It may be hard to stain to match porch logs. I read there are quality restoration stains that can be put on unknown type stain finishes that are effective. I was thinking about staining the entire house dark red brown to hopefully match closer overall.  Looking for professional advice or recommendations on best course of action. I would like to get logs to have a shine to them like the porches n be similar n uniform in color. What would be best stain product to give me a semi gloss finish? Also what type of stain would you recommend for deck flooring? Please advise on best economical solution. I have time now to get started. Thanks Paul

ANSWER: I would recommend using Sashco Transformations Stain.  We always use Sherwin Williams Deckscapes Solid stain fro the decks.  Call Timeless Wood Care Products at 800-564-2987 for more help and the products that you will need.
