Having having spent 10 years as a Perma-Chink Systems employee in their Redmond, WA office in Sales & Marketing capacities, I decided to leave Perma-Chink many years ago to address the unique needs of log home protection & restoration as a contractor and formed Northwest Log Home Care, based in Renton, WA. Approaching $1,000,000 in material purchases from them, I can proudly say I’m routinely their largest buyer/applicator of their products on the west coast annually and one of their largest on a national scope in their history. Since formed in 1981, Perma-Chink Systems is widely known as the largest manufacturer of log home protection and restoration products in the world with sales offices throughout North America, and abroad.
