Log Homes

Are you wanting to build a log home? You think it looks cool don't you? Have you done your homework and looked at the costs of a log home?

Just like with any highly involved purchase, you need to do your homework. How much does it cost? What are the pros and cons of this product? Are there other product out there that are better? We ask these questions a lot when making purchase of coffee, toothpaste, cars, shoes, etc. Those same questions should be asked too when looking to build a log home.

Research the cost to build your log home. Here are some questions to ask your contractor, home builder, and people who currently own a log home:

How much is it per square (10 ft x 10 ft wall coverage) or per square foot?

Will I have to maintain the logs every year? Every 3 years?

What are the costs involved in maintaining these logs?

Is the home energy efficient?

Will I have to perform pest control? What sort of pests will I have?

These are just an example of the types of questions you need to ask before investing heavily in a log home. You will be surprised about the pros and cons
