Log Home Finishing - Chinking, Staining, Media Blasting, Log repair

I feel like I can finally take a breath of releif knowing my 18 year-old log home has been completely restored to my satisfaction. Thomas at Log Home Finishing and the young men that completed the work went above and beyond my expectations. The materials used and the professional applications were amazing. All the checks were filled and logs stained and clear coated. I would recommend them to anyone with a true log home. If you want the best job, hire the best.

Additionally, some weather-exposed logs had begun to rot. We contacted Thomas Elliott and Log Home Finishing to assess the work and a week later we were under contract.

Communication with both Tom and Jeff (t...

The previous review I had left was removed by Google and I couldn’t ever figure out why so here it goes again 😅 Tom and his crew were fantastic!

I can’t recommend them enough. Thank you Tom and crew!!
