I’ve received the samples you sent and have been playing with them. I cannot put into words how impressed I am with the few I’ve already tried!!! Even on “old” weathered wood!! The richness of the stains (have used a few of the Lifeline Ultra-7 stains and topcoat) have blown me away and is building the confidence to tackle our log home! I’m trying out a few of the stain strippers today but had to let you know, rather than dreading this project alone, I now look forward to it! I tried to call your TN office but think they’re closed today so I’ll try them again on Monday.
Again, thank you for allowing me to test these products!!

Paul,
Don & I would like to thank you for coming by the house to advise us on the log cabin. It was so generous of you to take the time to walk through the place & share your knowledge & expertise on all things “log cabin”. I can’t tell you how helpful that was for us. We also appreciate the references for contractors & I will be calling them to meet & hopefully be to engage their services.
Thank you again we really appreciate it!
Warm Regards

Stephanie,
We have been living in our log home for over seven years now and I can’t begin to express how pleased I am with the performance of Perma-Chink Finishes! Last year the only thing we did was switch from a flat finish to a semi-gloss top coat. The stain we initially used has performed well with very little pealing or fading. I would highly recommend this product to anyone. It is a easy product to work with and looks great!

Perma-Chink Systems Inc.,
Over the last year or so I have ordered a number of products from Permachink for a cabin project I have going on. I just wanted to drop a note and say that I have dealt with people from Perma-Chink Corporate, Dave in PA, Brad in the online orders dept., and several others who have assisted me with advice and their knowledge. It’s very rare that I find a company that everyone I deal with is friendly and helpful every time you call. I am in the commercial construction industry so we don’t typically use Permachink Products on commercial buildings but if we did I would make sure that you guys were who we went to for our supplies. Thanks and not sure who will receive this but if I had the option I would send this note straight to your CEO.

Good afternoon,
I have meant to send this email for a few weeks as I just wanted to share the before and after photos of a great job completed by Back Country Cabins and their sub contractor Jeff Long.
I have owned my cabin since 2004 which is when I first used Perma-Chink products to stain the cabin and garage. I attended a seminar to see if completing the staining and sealing of the cabin was something I wanted to complete myself or hire someone. I obtained several recommendations of contractors and went with Back Country Cabins. I started the process in May and due to weather and previously scheduled jobs my cabin was finally completed in October and it looks amazing.
Thank you for such a great product and having such reliable contractors to recommend.

Respectfully a Perma-Chink customer for life,

Dear Perma-Chink Systems, Inc. of Stevensville, MT.
I am very impressed with your outstanding customer service and products! When I called your store, Shar patiently answered all my questions and assured me that there would be no wait time for the chinking and the grip strips I needed, as they were in stock. Prior to my pick-up date I called to confirm that my order would be ready. Unfortunately, the Perma-chink store was not scheduled to be open on my pick-up date. My special thanks to store manager, Joanne, for happily making special arrangements for me to pick up my order on the desired date! Now that is down-home, Montana-style customer service at its best!! In this computer-age of impersonal, internet purchasing, I am especially impressed with the personal customer assistance I experienced! This is very much in keeping with the neighborly, pioneering spirit in which our Montana forefathers built the log cabins Perma-Chink is now helping to preserve!!! Thank you, Joanne and Perma-Chink of Stevensville!
Sincerely, Maria Gallegos
P.S. I am enclosing photographs of the chinking project still in progress, as well as an article that was recently written about me and my “house project.” Like many Montana homes that were built to entice Homesteaders, my house has an 1800s era log cabin as part of its original structure. I have been carefully working on this restoration/remodel project for the past 15 years and was thrilled when I uncovered the hand-hewn logs hidden behind the old lathe and plaster. It was like opening the pages of a long-forgotten history book! In keeping with the integrity and roots of my home, I knew those logs walls would remain exposed to showcase its humble beginnings.
We built our log home in 2014. We used Perma-Chink stain on the interior and exterior. Steve Gazikas has helped us step by step throughout the entire process. We can’t thank him enough for sharing his knowledge with us and most important his patience with answering all our questions. We are very happy with the Perma-Chink products. We highly recommend Perma-Chink Systems Inc for all your log home needs.

“Dear Rick,
I want to thank you and Tony H. so much for the way the two of you and Perma-Chink have handled the problems I’ve had with the chinking of my home in East Texas. Although there was some bubbling in the areas most exposed to the sun, there were also problems related to the thinner than recommended installation.
Notwithstanding the blame you and Perma-Chink could have laid on the installer, you chose instead to see to it that it was repaired properly. This says volumes about the integrity and compassion of you and Perma-Chink toward the satisfaction of their customers. It also says that you stand by your product 100%.
Please use me as a reference at any time regarding the character of Perma-Chink’s management and the company’s desire to completely satisfy it’s customers. Thank you again.”
