How do we do it?
We will work directly with you, your builder, or your architect. All we require is a sketch from you to start. I can do a layout for you and we can add windows, doors, dormers as we go.
If you prefer to purchase from a full service log home company we can recommend national companies to you that use our laminated and insulated products that will help you with your home. We can offer some suggestions based on the location where you will build.
We maintain no inventory. Each home is a custom project for us. This insures that the quality of the product is exceptional.
We have designed and built a custom dry kiln specifically for drying timber to be used in laminated logs.
We do not offer windows, doors, sealers, screws, ..…. We can help you with this, but the best price option is always to purchase locally.
How long does it take?
This is a hard one. Obviously the size of the home impacts this, but other factors do as well. Kiln drying time is a major factor in the schedule to complete a home. We work with standing green timber.
If you require 2000 foot of log, it would require approximately 10 days for us to laminate. Lead time is job specific, and we will discuss it on a per job basis. Each home is a custom project and we will work with you from start to completion. As a rule of thumb, we will require 90-120 days from time of order to delivery for a typical home.
How much does this cost?
This is always the BIG question. Again this is job specific. I can in full confidence say that you will be very pleased. Typically you could move up a log size over most any other supplier. The larger the logs get, the more expensive they become for others, but not for us. The larger the log the more efficient we are. There are never any charges for us to quote for you.
Many of you will need a builder/contractor to help you with your home. Let us know. We can recommend a quality experienced builder to help you.
