Log Replacement
Whether you’ve just purchased an older log home or your existing home is showing signs of aging, River to River has you covered. Some logs may need to be replaced at some point due to water damage or age. Our experienced log home crew have the experience, skills, and tools necessary to complete your log replacement with seamless integration.
Log Replacement Process
Many homeowners question when it is necessary to replace a log or the next steps to repair it. In many cases, we can issue a partial log replacement, specifically when a log is less than 50% rotten or soft. This ensures that the inside of the log wall still matches the other interior logs, so it doesn’t stand out as different. When replacing a half log, new logs are attached to the existing logs with galvanized screws. With River to River, logs are custom-made to a comparable size with our mill, and any spaces between the new and the old logs are filled with backer rods and chinked or caulked. The heads of the screws are countersunk below the log surface, the hole is filled with caulk, and new logs are stained/sealed to match other existing logs.
If the logs in your home are looking worse for wear, give us a call! We proudly offer our professional log replacement services to Reno, Carson City, Winnemucca, and the surrounding area.
