Staining should be done as per manufactures specifications.  There are good stain suppliers and bad ones.  Make sure the stain being used is one of the ones who have large ads in Log Home Living as they are more reputable.  Also, talk to your contractor about the application, how many coats and what is the maintenance procedure.  Do not buy a story of how a stain will last 7-10 years with one application.  That would be that fast talking salesman we talked about earlier.
