About the Area

Ohio is home to the historic Ross log house, built by Jane and John Ross, Jr around 1836. This house features elements like hand-hewn beams and an interior chimney. To preserve the building, the house was restored and moved to a new location in recent years. 

Refurbished log cabins are a common feature in Ohio. Residents and visitors can enjoy a stay at a log cabin with amenities such as fireplaces, fully-equipped kitchens, comfortable bathrooms, and more. They can also explore historical cabins scattered throughout the state.

Log Cabin Repair Services

American Log Restoration Inc. offers repair services throughout Ohio. This makes the upkeep process simple for residents who want to improve the longevity of their log cabin. Due to the humidity and rainfall in Ohio, residents need to stay on top of repairs to prevent mold and mildew growth. 

Log home repairs start with an initial assessment of the log home or cabin. Our team members can evaluate logs for hollow sounds or discoloration. Taking care of a small rotten section quickly will prevent the issue from escalating and affecting the structural integrity of your space. Once we have determined which areas need to be repaired or replaced, our team will be able to provide you with a quote for the needed repairs.

Log home restoration services involve prepping the area and removing damaged sections. Depending on the extent of the damage, we may need to provide whole, half, or vertical log replacements. We can also apply a borate treatment to prevent future rot and insect damage. Chinking and caulking also help provide a watertight seal between logs or cracks. These seals allow the wood to move and breathe without letting water infiltrate your home. 

Log Cabin Maintenance

Ohio residents should keep up with regular log cabin maintenance to prevent small issues from escalating. Easy ways to prevent problems include keeping gutters clean and making sure rainwater does not accumulate around the base of your home. These steps help to prevent wood rot and decay, which may eventually necessitate thorough log cabin repairs. 

Look for signs of insect infestations in your wood. Carpenter bees, termites, and other insects can cause structural issues, so take the proper precautions and apply borate solutions. Our trained team members are able to provide quick fixes to insect issues, helping to enhance the longevity of your log cabin.
