Generally included in the cost of your Log Home or Log Cabin  shell is one or more on site technical advisors for the complete re-erecting of your log home, however it is not uncommon for a homeowner to handle this part of the process themselves. The logs are numbered and tagged before disassembly and a basic 4 corner shell can be re-erected in 2 to 3 days depending on the size. We are open to any scenario that you want to include in your contract and have never had any two buildings play out the same. It is a custom building as well as a custom experience from start to finish.

The Rebellion : A Full Log Style Traditional Log Home


Here we have a plan currently going through the planning stages. Started off turning the "Bee Hive" one of our in house designs into a full log style and incorporating some aspects the customers wanted to keep intact. By visiting us we were able to sort through the aspects they were looking for in a couple hours and take it from there. Once the final plan is done we will update it on the plans page with some 3d renders and walkthrough shots.
