Even the strongest log homes can lose their beauty and protection over time.
Tennessee’s heat, humidity, and rain can cause wood to fade, crack, or attract pests—leaving your home vulnerable to costly damage.
At Donnelly Log Homes, we restore your home from the inside out, removing years of wear and preparing every surface for lasting protection.
From media blasting to borate treatment, every step is designed to bring out the natural strength and character of your logs.
Proper restoration not only keeps your home looking beautiful—it ensures your investment stands strong for generations.

“We use a 180 psi compressor to power our media blasting system.”
Removes the compromised top layer of wood, exposing a fresh surface for better bonding and a uniform finish.
“Our pressure wash process is not so much of a strip as it is a wash.”
We wash carefully to avoid damaging the wood while removing particulates, moss, mold, and mildew that prevent proper stain adhesion.
“All homes are treated with borate following the wash process.”
Borate protects against mold, mildew, fungus, and wood-eating insects. Will recommends treating every six months.
“Cracks and checks will be inspected to determine whether they are high risk for future rot.”
High-risk areas are sealed and caulked to prevent future damage and keep the structure solid.
“We make a punch out list and bring everything up to an exceptional quality.”
Every project ends with a full inspection and homeowner walk-through to ensure the highest standards before completion.
We follow a detailed, step-by-step process to restore your log home the right way.
We use a 180 PSI compressor to power our media blasting system. This removes the compromised top layer of wood and exposes a fresh surface, giving us a solid base for stain and sealers to bond to.
Our wash is designed to clean, not damage. We carefully remove dirt, moss, mold, mildew, and fungus so nothing interferes with proper stain adhesion.
After washing, we apply borate to help protect against mold, mildew, fungus, and wood-eating insects. This treatment is an important layer of long-term defense for your logs.
We inspect cracks and checks to identify high-risk areas that could lead to future rot. When needed, we seal and caulk those areas to keep water out and protect the structure.
Our team completes a punch list, brings everything up to our standard, and then does a final walk-through with you, the homeowner, to make sure you’re confident in the work that was done.
