What Is Log Home Restoration?

Restoration is more than just repair—it's about returning your home to its full strength, safety, and visual appeal. It involves undoing damage, replacing compromised materials, correcting structural flaws, and protecting the home against future threats. Restoration may be necessary after decades of exposure to weather, long periods of vacancy, or poor maintenance from previous owners.

At WEATHERWIZE, we take a holistic and informed approach to restoration. We not only fix what’s broken, we find the root causes and implement long-lasting solutions.
