What we do...

Contemporary log homes are a far cry from the one room cabins of the past. Log homes today can be modern and luxurious, rustic and cozy, large and majestic, a mixture of all of these things and then some. Some typical characteristics of a modern log home are wrap around porches, tall vaulted ceilings, decorative post and beam construction, large fixed glass and double hung windows, solid surface countertops and open, flowing floorplans. Two story and loft homes are also common. There are different ways to build a log house, the type of log home that we see most often consists of solid logs stacked to the height of the first level, or part of the way into the second level. Above that the house is framed the remainder of the wall to the roof and covered with siding that matches the log profile. A description of log profiles is available here.

Whether you've already found the log package you want, or you're not even sure where to buy logs, we can help. We work with some of the best log distributors in the state to help you determine the best deal for you. We will help you find the best place to buy your logs, or we'll build the house from the logs you supply, your choice. We can also work with you to design your home and offer plan drawing services. If you can't find the design you want anywhere sometimes the best thing to do is just sketch it out on your own, bring it to us and we can help interpret that sketch into your home. We offer a true custom home, where every detail can be specialized if you so choose.

A less expensive and just as lovely alternative to the log house is a wood sided house. Instead of stacking the first level out of solid logs the entire house is framed just like a traditional home. The outside is covered with wood lap siding, generally cypress, and the inside is insulated and covered with the covering of your choice - drywall, white pine tongue and groove, etc. The outside can be stained or painted, or even just sealed with a clear sealer. This option is less labor intensive than the log stacking process, and therefore can save you a bit of money in the long run. The amount of money saved varies by house and can be determined once your house plan is basically decided on.
