View service →What Log Home Work Costs
Everything is priced on exterior wall square footage, and condition moves the number far more than size does. The single most expensive decision a log home owner makes is waiting.
Four to six times the cost for the same wall. The difference is prep: on a neglected home you pay to strip a failed coating and repair what rotted underneath it before any finish goes on.

Where does Pencil Log Pros work?
Pencil Log Pros is based in Grand Junction, Colorado. Colorado is the core market and holds the deepest concentration of completed work. Wyoming, Utah, Idaho, New Mexico, and Kansas are the established regional footprint, and the company takes larger log home projects nationwide.
Is Pencil Log Pros a licensed contractor?
Yes. Brad Siler, who leads Pencil Log Pros, is a Certified Licensed General Contractor, Class C. Most log finishing companies are coatings contractors rather than licensed general contractors. That difference matters when a stain problem turns out to be a rot problem, because a coatings contractor has to subcontract the structural work or hand back a partial fix.
How much do log home services cost?
Log home work is priced on exterior wall square footage. Staining a well-maintained home runs $1.50 to $3.50 per square foot. A full restoration on a neglected home runs $8.00 to $18.00 per square foot. On a 1,500 square foot exterior that is roughly $3,000 to $6,000 versus $15,000 to $40,000 or more. Condition, not size, drives the difference.
Which log home service do I actually need?
It depends on whether the problem is the finish, the joints, or the logs underneath, and those are not the same job. Peeling stain can mean prep failure or moisture. Cracked chinking can mean a joint design problem or structural movement. Pencil Log Pros inspects and identifies the root cause before recommending a scope, which is why two homes of the same size can come back with quotes that differ by five times.
Does Pencil Log Pros build new log homes?
No. Pencil Log Pros is a log home restoration company, not a builder. New construction, additions, and log home kit assembly fall outside what the company does, and those projects get referred to log home builders.
Not sure which service you need?
That is what the free consultation is for. Brad Siler or a member of the team walks the home, separates what is cosmetic from what is structural, and tells you what your logs actually need — including the times the honest answer is maintenance instead of a full restoration.
