— The right product
Built once. Protected for years.
We finish every home with Perma-Chink Systems’ log home coatings — not a general-purpose wood stain. It’s water-based and breathable, formulated specifically for log construction, so it protects without trapping moisture inside your logs. Maintained on schedule, it can go decades without needing a full re-stain — which means you’re not paying twice to get it right.
✓ Formulated for log homes, not just any wood
✓ Breathable — moisture escapes instead of getting trapped
✓ Maintained right, it lasts years longer between full re-stains
✓ Less frequent re-coats means real savings over time

★★★★★
Frontier Finishing stripped & stained our 26 year old log home & log carriage house.
From start to finish they were professional, tidy, efficient & did a great job.
We're going to have them perform a yearly maintenance check-up which is a great added service they offer.
I would highly recommend anyone looking for company who knowledgeable in log home maintenance.

Their attention to detail, quality of workmanship, and commitment to doing the job right truly showed throughout the entire process. My home looks amazing, and I highly recommend Frontier Finishing to anyone needing professional log home restoration and maintenance.

Common questions
How often should logs be re-stained?
With a general wood stain, every 3–5 years. We use Perma-Chink Systems' log-specific coatings, which can last many decades when maintained properly.
Why Perma-Chink Systems?
It's a water-based, breathable finish built specifically for log homes, not general wood. It protects against UV and moisture without sealing moisture in, and holds up far longer than standard stains when maintained on schedule — which saves you money over the life of your home.
Do you work year-round?
We stain and seal spring through fall when temperatures cooperate. Interior work, chinking, and repairs continue through winter.
Is my estimate really free?
Always. We visit your home if necessary, assess what's needed, give recommendations, and send a written quote at no cost and no obligation.
Are you insured?
Fully licensed and insured. We're happy to share our certificate before any work begins.
