        "text": "Exterior log cabin refinishing is typically recommended every three to five years, though interior logs last much longer. The exact timeframe depends on your cabin's sun exposure, moisture levels, and the quality of the prior finish. South- and west-facing walls usually show clear coat failure and sun bleaching earlier than shaded walls. Watch for signs like peeling stain, water soaking into the wood instead of beading up, or dull, graying patches. When HH Remodeling evaluates a log home, owner Abraham Becerra assesses whether a maintenance coat is sufficient or if the surface requires complete stripping down to bare timber before new finish can adhere properly.",
