Q: Are log homes energy efficient?
Q: Are log homes cheaper than conventional building?
A:
No. The main reason is the lumber package. Instead of 2x4's or 2x6's, at best, your dealing with 6x6's
and larger in log homes. The rest is basically the same. Anderson windows, hardwood florring, door handles, lighting
fixtures, etc. are the same price, regardless, of what home you put it in. With that said people consider things
like hardwood flooring a neccessity compared to a conventioanl home where it is looked at as an upgrade. This will also
make the price look higher because your not using cheaper material like carpet and drywall throughout.
Q: Do you offer "turn-key" completion?
A:
Yes. We offer full turn key and partial job completion. Most companies that dont offer the building of
the home, do so becuase, they know their product and want to distance themselves from the upcoming issues as soon as possible.
Then blame the builder for everything that goes wrong. Its the main reason that you should look for one person to take
care of everything you dont want to do personally.
Q: How long does it take to build a log home.
A: There
are a lot of variables that contribute to this question but, with a 4-5 person crew on a 2000sq ft home, you could figure
8 months from start to finish. This could easily be sped up with more people in a crew, but faster is not always better.
To better maintain our quality product we limit the size of our crews and empahsize "right" rather than fast.
Other things like, precut packages and experience can make a big diffrence in this timeline.
