Best log home products for your WNC, TN or SC log Home

---

At DeepWoods Log Home Services, we believe your home deserves more than just a quick coat or cheap fix — it deserves products that stand the test of time, season after season.
That’s why we use only industry-leading log home finishes, sealants, stains, and preservation systems that have been field-tested and proven to perform in the harsh climates of Western North Carolina, Upstate South Carolina, and Eastern Tennessee.

We don’t just restore log homes — we build protection into every project using the best materials available.

Every log home is different — but one thing is always the same: your home’s defense starts with the quality of the products used.
We select each stain, preservative, chinking, and sealant with five essential qualities in mind:

✅ Durability: Long-lasting results that resist UV damage, moisture, and mold.
✅ Flexibility: Products that move and breathe with your logs — not against them.
✅ Breathability: Finishes that allow trapped moisture to escape, preventing rot.
✅ Eco-Safety: Environmentally conscious formulas safe for plants, pets, and people.
✅ Aesthetic Appeal: Rich, natural finishes that enhance the wood’s beauty — never cover it.

When you partner with DeepWoods, you get products that protect, preserve, and honor the natural integrity of wood.

We proudly work with top log home staining brands trusted by homeowners and professionals alike, including:

• Superior flexibility to move with wood expansion/contraction
• Excellent UV protection for sun-exposed homes
• Beautiful satin finish that enhances grain depth
• Low-VOC, water-based formula for eco-safe application

• Two-coat breathable system with long-term color retention

• Perfect for decks, railings, and outbuildings

💡 Pro Tip: A quality stain should never form a hard, non-breathable film. We use only elastic, micro-breathing coatings that expand and contract naturally with your logs.

Proper sealing is essential to your log home’s energy efficiency and longevity.
We use high-performance products that stay flexible and watertight for decades.

• Stretches up to 250% without cracking or pulling away
• Strong adhesion and natural color palette for classic appeal

• Ideal for narrow gaps and checks
• Seamlessly blends with stains for an invisible finish
• Weatherproof, elastic, and UV resistant

• Perfect for tight seams and touch-ups
• Textured finish that matches most log stains
• Paintable and stainable for flawless blending

🧱 DeepWoods Difference: We never cut corners with sealants.
A flexible, high-grade sealant can mean the difference between a tight, energy-efficient home and years of costly drafts or water intrusion.

Log preservation starts beneath the surface. We apply borate-based preservatives that penetrate deeply to prevent fungus, rot, and insects before they start.

• Long-term protection against decay fungi and insects
• Safe, odor-free, and pre-mixed for consistent results
• Used before staining or sealing for complete defense

• Restores weathered or gray logs before refinishing
• Removes surface mildew, pollen, and discoloration
• Prepares wood for even stain absorption

🧴 Our Process: Every Deep Woods restoration begins with a full cleaning and conditioning cycle — ensuring your stain or finish bonds properly for maximum life.

Even the toughest logs need help against the relentless southern sun.
We use advanced UV blockers and nano-technology additives that act like sunscreen for your home, preventing color fade and surface breakdown.

• Sashco’s Cascade Clear Topcoat
• Lifeline Advance Clear Topcoat
• Woodguard UV+ Exterior Protection

These transparent coatings create a protective layer that enhances durability and gives your finish a natural, low-sheen brilliance.

Every product we use has been personally tested in the field by our team on hundreds of homes across the Appalachian region.
We know which products perform — and which don’t — in humid summers, harsh winters, and high-elevation conditions.

Our commitment to using only proven materials means your home receives not just a professional finish, but one that lasts years longer than standard products.

Q: Can I use regular exterior paint or stain from the hardware store?
No. Most conventional coatings trap moisture inside the logs, which leads to peeling, blistering, and eventual rot.
Only breathable log home finishes are safe for long-term protection.

Q: How often should I re-stain my home?
Every 3–5 years, depending on exposure. South-facing walls and high-sun areas may need more frequent touch-ups.

Q: Can DeepWoods recommend products for DIY use?
Absolutely. We’re happy to guide you toward the right products for your project — or provide full professional service if you prefer expert application.

Your log home is too valuable to trust to generic products.
At DeepWoods Log Home Services, we use and recommend only the best log home products — ones that deliver strength, beauty, and reliability you can count on.
