Why Build a Log Home?

There are many advantages to owning a log home versus a conventional "stick built" home. Outside of log homes being naturally beautiful and a classic piece of architecture; here are many reasons to help with your decision to build with logs.

* Higher Appraisals - The reason why log homes appraise higher than conventional
homes is the experienced craftsmanship and architecture, not to mention structural
stability that goes into the log home. It's also advantageous to homeowners when they
want to refinance.


* Long Lasting - Did you know some log homes throughout Europe and Russia date
back over 800years? That says it all.


* Structural Stability - There has been cases where log homes were the only homes still
standing after a vicious tornado or hurricane disaster. To sum this up, in extreme
circumstances, your home could save your life.


* Extremely Efficient - Log Homes, when sealed properly, can be 20% or more energy
efficient than a conventional home.


* Mold, Mildew & Insects - By simply walking around your home and visually
inspecting your logs, you can notate any problems immediately, and thus, make a
quick detection which leads to a less costly remedy. Conventional homes have sealed
wall cavities that can be a hidden refuge for mold, mildew and insect infestation.


* Sound Barrier - Log Homes are quieter than conventional homes. Here's why; the
same "thermal mass" that provides energy efficiency in a log home also provides
acoustical benefits that reduce sound transmission provided by the logs solid mass and
by the angle, shape and/or texture of the log. You will be able to hear yourself think in
a log home.


* Blends with a Natural Environment - Log Homes seem to be a natural part of the
landscape whereas conventional homes awkwardly impose on it.
