It’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking log homes need constant attention. And sure, they’re a bit more work than your standard stick-frame house. But when you treat them right, they give back. They’re warm in the winter, cool in the summer, and they’ve got a personality you just can’t buy from a builder’s catalog. Keeping up with maintenance doesn’t have to be a burden. With a little planning and a habit of checking in before things get bad, you’ll save yourself time, money, and a whole lot of trouble.
Log homes are meant to be lived in, not just looked at. So go ahead—take care of it, and then sit back on the porch and enjoy what you’ve built.
