Log Buildings

About Our Log Buildings

We pride ourselves in creating custom buildings unique to each customer's needs. We have a general system that we begin with, but we work with every customer to ensure that specific needs are met. Our buildings are always delivered as fully built "sections", or in many cases, as a fully completed building. This allows for you to prepare the building site, while we build your custom log building in our shop. We deliver our buildings on a tilt-and-winch style trailer with rollers, and can use skid steers to move buildings into place if needed. (Note: We strive to get the building in on the trailer as far as possible, hopefully within feet of the building site. Please be sure a building of the size you are ordering can be navigated near your desired location.)

Given that our buildings are delivered to you, we keep our buildings to a limit of 12' in width and 32' in length. If you building needs are within these limitations, then your building can be delivered and set up in a day. If you need more square footage, we can build several units or sections that will be attached upon delivery. A building order of 2 to 3 sections can still be delivered in a matter of a couple days!

All of our buildings are built of quality kiln dried 7x7 pine logs. Each row is pulled together with high-grade 10" lag screws and a construction adhesive. With this process we can nearly eliminate all log separation and re-chinking needs that are common with other log buildings! Our buildings can be broken up into rooms using the same log system, or using 2x4 studs and our tongue and groove pine siding.

Once the basic "shell" of the building has been figured, you can then begin to plan for various entrances, windows, doors, decks, cabinets, flooring, roofing, stains, etc.

Doors: You may change or add entrances and windows to your liking. Some doors may be quite simple additions, while some can be larger gabled entries with decks and added ceiling space. !

Windows of various sizes, colors, and functions can be added to customize your building. Our stock windows are Double-pane, and come in 4 sizes (2x3, 4x3, 6x3, and 4x1 Transom)

Flooring: Floor joists are treated 2x12's with treated plywood 10' down between each set of joists. This is the space where batt insulation can be added or spray foam. If setting on a full crawl space, the bottom layer of plywood can be left off, and insulation can be added after delivery from underneath. If there is not access from underneath after delivery, plywood can be lifted for any required viewing and then insulation can be laid, followed by laying the plywood back in place. Finished flooring can then be installed.

Roofing: We use Wheatland Steel for our roofing. Currently there are over 20 colors to choose from!

Wood Stain and Stabilizer: You may choose different tones for the interior surface of the logs. The logs with then be coated with a clear protectant designed to be Step 2 of the log treatment process. As with other wood buildings and surfaces, your building will need some maintenance in the future. A general rule of thumb is that you will need to apply a protectant coat every 4-6 years. We recommend using a pump sprayer and following up with a brush to remove any running of the product.

Heating and Cooling: The only HVAC we can provide is roughed-in wiring for electric baseboard heat. Any other options are added by the customer after delivery. (Mini-split heat pumps, gas fireplace, window AC units, electric space heaters and fireplaces)

Electrical: Buildings have wiring roughed-in ahead of time, which can be completed after delivery. The customer is responsible for getting power to the electrical panel and scheduling a final inspection.

Delivery: We have a couple local delivery driver's that can haul and set your building/sections. You will be required to pay them directly, with current pricing being around $1,000 for the first 50 miles and $5 per mile under location is reached (per section).
