Do You Need Your North Carolina Log Home Repaired?
Dry rot, insect damage and water damage need to be repaired

Log homes, with their timeless beauty and durability, are not immune to the challenges posed by nature and time. Insects, dry rot, and water damage are common adversaries that can compromise the integrity of your log home, necessitating repairs or even log replacement. Often, water damage or moisture issues, which are primary culprits behind the deterioration, stem from underlying problems that may have been overlooked, ignored, or simply unnoticed. Recognizing and addressing these issues early on is important to preserving the health and longevity of your cherished log home.

WoodTeks LLC is a log home restoration and repair contractor servicing Western, North Carolina and Southern, VA.  We specialize in the repair and replacement of damaged logs in a log home or a log structure.  If you have rotten logs, insect damaged logs or logs that are no longer structurally sound we can cut them out and replace them so it looks as good as new.

How Do You Repair or Replace The Logs in a Log Home?

There are a few different ways to repair rotten logs in a log home.  The first step in repairing the rotten or deteriorated logs in your log home is a thorough inspection of the damaged area.  We need to explore the area structurally and see not only the extent of the damage but if we can also spot what is contributing to the problem so we can make sure it doesn't happen again.  Is it insects?  Is it water intrusion'?  We'll find out.  We also want to determine which type of repair is going to work best.

In some cases, if the damage is minimal and affecting the home structurally then we can repair rotten areas using special epoxies and wood fillers.  These are very effective for repairing small areas that might have been damaged so long as the outer shell of the log is still in tact.  For areas that have been severely rotted then log replacement is going to be necessary and obviously requires a little more time and skill but will still come out looking like new.

Log Home Repair Services

If it involves repairing your log or timber framed home, we can probably do it!

Log Replacement: Over time, logs can deteriorate due to exposure to moisture, insects, or fungal decay. When the damage is beyond superficial repair, entire logs may need to be replaced to maintain the structural integrity of the home.

Rot Repair: Rot is a common problem in log homes, often caused by persistent moisture. Contractors frequently address areas of rot by removing the affected wood and filling the area with a compatible material or replacing sections of the log.

Chinking and Caulking: To keep out water, air, and insects, the seals between logs need to be maintained. Chinking and caulking repairs involve filling in gaps and cracks that have appeared over time due to the natural settling of the home or degradation of the original materials.

Insect Damage Repair: In North Carolina, homes are susceptible to termites, carpenter ants, and wood-boring beetles. Repairing insect damage often involves treating the affected areas to eliminate the pests and repairing or replacing the damaged wood.

Water Damage Restoration: Water intrusion can cause significant damage to log homes, leading to rot, mold, and structural issues. Contractors might be called to improve drainage around the home, repair leaks, and replace damaged logs or interior finishes.

Energy Efficiency Upgrades: Older log homes might require updates to improve energy efficiency, such as adding or replacing insulation, upgrading windows and doors, or sealing leaks around openings.

Structural Reinforcement: Over time, the structural integrity of a log home can be compromised due to settling, rot, or other damage. Contractors may need to reinforce or replace beams, joists, or other structural elements.

Interior Finishes and Repairs: Interior elements such as floors, walls, and ceilings in log homes can suffer from wear and tear or water damage and may require refinishing or replacement to restore their appearance and function.

We recently purchased a log home built in the 80's that was not maintained properly. Jason and his crew replaced logs, media blasted to get rid of old, worn wood, sealed and stained the home. The home was much more efficient this winter and the logs look so refreshed with the new stain. Our home looks as close to new as it could thanks to WoodTeks.

We were looking for someone to strip and stain our log home and we came upon Woodteks. Jason and his crew did a fantastic job. They are very professional. We could not be more pleased with the final outcome. Jason met with us and explained the entire process completely. The logs were stripped and cleaned then our whole house was stained. We had a bad experience once before with a different company's stain crew but Jason's crew did a phenomenal job. No streaks or runs. Very happy that we found them! We would recommend them to anyone who is wanting a professional job and they cleaned up well. We absolutely love the final product.
