Kitchen Remodeling
Yes. We will walk you through almost any option you would consider for your new home. Plumbing fixtures, light fixtures, electrical features, heating system analysis, windows, doors, cabinetry, interior wood & trim selection, kitchen design, carpeting, tile, marble, granite, hardwoods, and stereo systems are just some of the areas that can be addressed.
Door Installation/Replacement
Framing
Handcrafted Log Homes can also fill your timber framing needs. We custom mill each timber to a specified size and dimension using various species of wood. Our experienced craftsmen cut precise mortice and tenon joints with very tight tolerances. The art of timber framing has many styles, and we can create a timber framed home, barn, or other structure to match your specific taste and style. Each timber is cut precisely to fit its matching timber using bypass tenons, mortice & tenon, or notched connections. Each connection is made fast by insertion of hardwood pegs to secure. Nearly every joint is secured using wood pegs instead of mechanical fasteners.
Tile Installation
Fireplaces
Handcrafted Log Homes accommodates you with unlimited options. You will be guaranteed quality no matter how you put our services to use. From hand-peeled logs to complete turnkey construction, you will fully appreciate our experience and skilled workmanship in professional log home building. We also offer various services including log and timber accent work, log siding, fireplace mantels, log staircases & railings, and custom milling to your specifications. Handcrafted Log Homes offers you the choice between full scribed or a chink style log home. Whichever style you prefer, your home will be crafted by hand to reveal the natural character and beauty of each log. Hand-peeling the raw logs begins this process. After our carvers carefully scribe a log, they use chain saws and other hand tools to notch the entire length of the log to fit the log beneath. We use full length logs (no butt joints), and a saddle-notch is used at the corners. The full scribe gives you a tighter fit aiding in the energy efficiency of your log home. Remember, the thermal mass of solid wood enables the logs to absorb, store, and radiate heat back in the winter and cool air during the summer. A Handcrafted Log Home is not only natural beauty but also energy efficient and practical.

Decks
The finishing process also allows you to make decisions that give your home its unique character. Elements such as decks and porches, corner styles, dormers, and roof systems are effective features in achieving the look you want. Log staircases and railings, along with arched doorways can also compliment your log home. Caulking and chinking materials are made in numerous colors and textures to give your logs a pronounced look. The logs themselves may be sealed with a clear finish or stained the color of your choice. You truly will have your own custom Handcrafted Log Home.
Siding
We also offer various services including log and timber accent work, log siding, fireplace mantels, log staircases & railings, and custom milling to your specifications.
Porches
A custom built log home is very similar in price to a custom built conventional home. Most times, the log home will be a small percentage higher because some homeowners can complete more work on a conventional home themselves. The price of a log package, which is the log work shell, ranges from $90 per square foot, on average. The price range reflects options like dormers, log gables, amount of usable loft space, garages, and covered porches.

Carpentry
Requirements: Special skill or experience in related area of log home building, such as carpentry, wood working, drafting, designing, engineering, management, accounting, etc. High school diploma or higher education
Insulation
Log homes, in many cases, are more energy efficient than conventional homes. The thermal mass of the logs acts as an insulating barrier to temperature changes. The mass of the logs does not allow air (both hot and cold) to be transferred to or from the home as quickly as most conventional insulation. This results in a home that is warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. Ceiling insulation is also very important and several options are available from either Handcrafted Log Homes or your general contractor.
