Reach the log profile
Sanding a flat board is one thing. Logs have checks and corners where old finish hangs on. Blasting reaches those areas as well as the open face.
Minnesota & Western Wisconsin
Log Home & Cabin Blasting
Old stain peeling off the cabin? We strip failing finishes from log homes and wood siding before refinishing. Our mobile unit serves Minnesota and western Wisconsin.
The process
Get the old finish off before the next coat
Logs have curves, checks and corners that are hard to reach with a sander. Blasting removes old stain and failing finish from that profile so you can plan the next coat. We assess the wood and coating before choosing a process. Dry blasting suits timber that should stay dry. Dustless (wet) blasting keeps dust down, but adding water is not right for every wood surface. Blasting removes the failed layer; it does not repair damaged wood.

Why it works
Why choose log home & cabin blasting?
Choose the process for the wood
We run dry and dustless blasting from one mobile unit. The condition of the wood, the old coating and the next finish guide the choice.
Plan around the cabin site
For lakeside cabins, tell us about shoreline access, nearby buildings and the space around the walls. Those details help us assess the work area before quoting.
See what needs attention
Removing a failing finish exposes the wood underneath. Check for damage and plan any repairs before applying fresh stain or another finish.
A simple process
How it works
Send photos of the wood and finish
Show each wall, close-ups of peeling or worn areas, and access around the building. Include your location and the finish you have in mind.

We assess the wood, coating and site access. We discuss whether dry or dustless blasting fits and confirm the scope before work starts.
We blast on site
Our mobile unit comes to the property to remove the agreed finish. Plan inspection, any repairs and refinishing around the condition of the exposed wood.
Where we use it
Log Home & Cabin Blasting across the work we do
Log homes and cabins
Old stain can cling to checks and corners while the exposed faces wear bare. We assess the whole log profile and remove the failing layer before refinishing.
Wood siding
Peeling or worn finishes on wood siding need a process suited to the boards. Send close-ups so we can assess the coating and wood condition before recommending blasting.
Lakeside cabins
A cabin near the water needs the work area planned before the mobile unit arrives. Show us the space between the walls, shoreline and nearby structures when you send photos.

Common questions
Log Home & Cabin Blasting FAQs
Can you remove old stain from a log home?
Yes. Blasting can remove old stain and failing finishes from suitable log surfaces, including checks and corners that sanding cannot reach. Send photos so we can assess your wood and coating first.
Should wood be dry blasted or dustless blasted?
Dry blasting avoids adding water and suits timber that should stay dry. Dustless blasting uses water to keep dust down. We assess the wood, finish and work area before recommending either method.
Does blasting repair damaged logs?
No. It removes the old finish and exposes the surface underneath. Rotten or damaged wood still needs repair or replacement before refinishing.
Can you work on a lakeside cabin?
Send photos of the cabin and the surrounding work area. We need to assess access for the mobile unit, space around the walls and the shoreline before confirming the job.
Can I stain the wood straight after blasting?
The wood needs to be in the right condition for the new finish. Inspect it after stripping, complete any repairs and follow the stain manufacturer's surface preparation and moisture requirements. Blasting alone does not set the refinishing date.
What do you need for a free quote?
Send photos of the whole building, close-ups of the old finish, approximate dimensions and your location. Include access details and what finish you want next. We serve Minnesota and western Wisconsin from Pequot Lakes.
