From Bee Holes to Rot — Repairs That restore

---

Even the most well-built log homes can experience wear and tear over time. Between the forces of nature, insects, and woodpeckers, small imperfections can quickly turn into bigger issues if left unchecked. At DeepWoods Log Home Services, we specialize in repairing log damage with craftsmanship and precision — restoring your home’s original strength, beauty, and protection.

Your log home isn’t just a structure — it’s a living, breathing investment that expands and contracts with the seasons. When damage occurs, whether from pests, moisture, or wildlife, it can compromise not only the appearance but also the longevity of your logs.

Professional log repair keeps your home structurally sound and aesthetically beautiful by addressing:

• Woodpecker holes and insect damage
• Bee and wasp holes (carpenter bee tunnels)
• Log rot and decay
• Splitting, checking, and cracking
• Water and UV damage
• Failed sealants and moisture infiltration

Our expert team assesses each issue thoroughly, then crafts a repair strategy that blends restoration and prevention — ensuring the damage doesn’t return.

Carpenter bees love the warmth and texture of natural logs. Unfortunately, their tunneling habits create entry points for moisture, mold, and other insects — leading to deeper structural damage if untreated.

Our process for carpenter bee hole repair includes:

1. Inspection & Cleaning: Identify all active and inactive tunnels to ensure full coverage.
2. Treatment: Apply professional-grade insecticide or deterrents to eliminate and prevent future infestation.
3. Repair: Fill and seal holes using log-compatible epoxy or wood filler that restores the log’s original appearance.
4. Finish & Blend: Sand, stain, and color-match the repaired area for a seamless look.

We also apply long-lasting bee deterrents and sealants that protect your home through every season — without compromising the natural beauty of your wood.

Woodpeckers often target log homes searching for carpenter bees or hollow areas within the wood. While small at first, their pecking can quickly result in deep cavities that threaten both appearance and structure.

Our woodpecker repair process restores damaged logs and prevents recurrence:

1. Inspection: Identify the extent of pecking damage and any underlying insect activity.
2. Filling & Restoration: Use advanced epoxy resins or log patching compounds to fill holes, rebuild contours, and stabilize the affected areas.
3. Surface Refinishing: Sand, stain, and blend the repaired areas to match surrounding logs.
4. Prevention: Apply safe woodpecker deterrents and recoat logs with a breathable, protective finish that discourages nesting and feeding.

In addition to pest-related damage, DeepWoods Log Home Services also repairs:

• Log rot and moisture decay: Replace or rebuild sections of compromised wood.
• Cracked or checked logs: Seal and stabilize gaps to prevent water infiltration.
