I wanted to share a few pictures with Jimmy to show him my DIY progress. I will refinish the front door and frame, and clean and stain the porch after I return from a long vacation.
I am 110% impressed and satisfied with our experience using Permachink products while refinishing our log cabin in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
The cabin we inherited had not been maintained in over 30 years and the harsh winters had really taken a toll. During an 8 day summer "vacation", my husband and I alone were able to strip & sand the 3 bedroom cabin, apply Wood Renew, treat with borate, stain with Lifeline Ultra 7, seal with LifeLine Advance Gloss, and paint all of the chinking with Permachink's Chink Paint. I'm not going to lie.... it was a lot of very, very hard work and it took around 192 man-hours to complete (yes, in 8 days with two people), but we were able to do it ourselves exactly as planned. I'm a dentist and my husband works in IT, so it's not like we have a background in this kind of work! Even using these best of the best materials, we saved over $17,000 from the estimates to have it "professionally" done and dare I say I bet it turned out better.
We plan on using Permachink materials again next summer when we repair the checks and seals. I wish I could post more than one photo to show you what a husband and wife with no experience were able to do in 8 days. I can't speak highly enough of Permachink. Their products far exceeded my high expectations.

This is a response from our customer after receiving a follow up letter about their order from Shar at our Rifle, CO branch:
"Thank you Shar. You are perhaps the best customer service person I have spoken to in a very long time." P Klein
We have been using Perma-Chink Lifeline stains and products in our log home business for over 20 years. That in itself says something about the products and services from Perma-Chink since there are several companies available to buy from and over the years, many have sent reps attempting to get our business. Perma-Chink stands behind their products and their products have performed well for us over the years, such as Lifeline Ultra 2 stain.
Greg Sweets, the customer service representative is always friendly, eager to help with information, and prompt in communicating an order status. We know we can count on Perma-Chink to help us achieve our goal of having satisfied customers.

I have had the pleasure of being associated with Perma-Chink Systems for almost my entire working career. I can say that the people and products at PCS have made it a most enjoyable experience. I have seen this product line go through many changes over the last 23 years, with the key emphasis on quality and dependability. Perma-Chink log home chinking is far and away the industry standard for synthetic mortar. My customers have often told me that they refuse to use any other brand. It is easy to apply even for homeowners and beginners, which is a big plus for me when recommending this product. Its durability and strength are unsurpassed. When people are putting their hearts and souls into their “dream home”, you need a product that can deliver results.
PCS’s line of log home finishes are by far and away the most bang for your buck in the industry. Ease of application and performance again are key selling points of these products. When you make your living selling log home stain, you need to believe in that product. I believe in Lifeline Finishes!
The performance of all of these products makes my job easier, but customer support from PCS is paramount. Greg Sweets’ service to Timeless Wood Care Products over the years has been nothing short of phenomenal. We have many vendors (freight, caulk guns, furniture, etc.) and I can say that Greg beats them all, hands down. If I place an order with Greg, I have confidence that it will arrive in an accurate and timely manner EVERYTIME. If for some reason there is a rare problem, Greg will take care of it, no questions asked. Dave Dikeman

Terry:
Thanks Terry for personally visiting my project and your help with the mold and mildew problem on the log home. Per your recommendation we used the log wash on the logs which totally removed all the mold and mildew.
We then stained using Lifeline Ultra 7 followed by the Lifeline Advance clear coat which resulted in a beautiful stained exterior. Of course we also used Permachink exclusively for the interior finishes. We continue to get many compliments on the finished product. Will never use anything but your products. Thanks again!
