        "text": "Interior log staining costs depend on the square footage of wall surface, log profile, ceiling height, and prep requirements. Flat log walls are faster and less expensive to treat than round or hand-hewn logs, which have significantly more surface area and deep chinking grooves. High cathedral ceilings or loft spaces require interior scaffolding, which adds labor time. Another major cost factor is existing finish condition: applying a maintenance coat over clean logs costs far less than hand-sanding peeling polyurethane or removing old smoke residue before staining can begin. Transparent estimates account for prep time alongside stain and clear-coat layers.",
