Professional Log Home Staining

in Michigan

Restore and Protect Your Log Home with Quality Staining

Proper staining is one of the most important aspects of maintaining the appearance and durability of your log home. At DM Log Staining, we specialize in professional log home staining services designed to shield your home from harsh Northern Michigan weather while enhancing its natural beauty.

Whether your home needs routine maintenance staining or a full restoration following media blasting, our team delivers expert workmanship and long-lasting results.

Why Log Staining Is Essential for Log Home Preservation

Without routine staining and sealing, Michigan's seasonal weather can take a toll on log homes. Exposure to UV rays, rain, snow, humidity, and fluctuating temperatures can cause logs to:

  • Crack, split, or warp

  • Develop mold, mildew, or rot
  • Lose their rich, natural color

  • Deteriorate structurally over time

Staining provides a protective barrier that prevents moisture penetration, resists UV damage, and maintains the wood's integrity. Our stains are specifically selected to withstand Michigan’s environmental challenges.

Our Expert Log Staining Process

At DM Log Staining, we follow a precise staining process to ensure your log home receives the highest level of care:

  • 1. Inspection and Preparation

    We start by thoroughly inspecting your home for any surface or structural issues. If previous coatings are damaged or deteriorated, we recommend media blasting to fully clean and prepare the surface for new stain.

  • 2. Cleaning

    Any remaining dirt, mildew, or loose debris is carefully cleaned from the log surfaces to ensure proper stain adhesion.

  • 3. Product Selection

    We work with industry-leading stains that offer:


    • Maximum UV protection
    • Long-term durability
    • Enhanced water repellency
    • Breathable formulas that allow logs to naturally release moisture

  • 4. Application

    Stain is carefully applied using proven techniques to ensure even coverage, deep penetration, and a smooth, consistent finish.

  • 5. Final Inspection

    We inspect the work thoroughly to ensure full coverage and satisfaction before completing the project.
