What is Chinking?
A well-sealed log home is key to an efficient, well-protected log home. Chinking prevents costly heating bills in the winter and cooling bills in the summer by reducing drafts caused by unsealed joints where logs meet or around windows, doors, or roof-lines. Chinking is also important to keep out bugs, rodents, other unwanted pests from in between logs, as well as preventing rot.
Whether you have a new construction log home that needs chinking, or an older cabin that needs chinking replacement, we do it all, interior and exterior.
Benefits of Chinking?
Easy Maintenance
No need to have a buddy inside with towels wiping up water and cleaning solution when you wash your log home. A properly chinked home is water-proof.
Thermally Efficient
Eliminates all drafts and makes for a more thermally efficient home.
Prevents Rot
If water can’t find its way between logs or behind window/door trim, it won’t rot. A well-sealed log home is key to a rot-free log home.
What Our Customers Say
Adam H.
Travis and crew were great. They standout for the pride they take in their craft, delivering a top quality job. Travis is a great communicator. We had our log home blasted, rechinked, restained, and resealed…took about three or so weeks. Results were great. I researched multiple bids for the project at Madrona was competitive, especially given the extra service and quality of the work that leaves me confident it was done right and will last a long time.

I was visited today by Travis Bird of Madrona Log Home Repair and cannot speak more highly of the knowledge, patience, and expertise that was brought to bare on my new log home. Travis knows what he’s talking about. He is steeped in experience, pleasant, and was patient with my questions. His information and guidance gave me direction and greater confidence that I will make it through here. I plan on Travis being my go-to man for a long time to come. I trust him. I respect him. I feel confident he will get my new home up on it’s feet again.
