How do I finance my project?

There are many banks who offer financing for building a log home. We have contacts in the construction lending field and will be happy to share our references based on your location.

What is the energy efficiency of a log home?

Log homes by nature are quite energy efficient. Throughout the day your log home absorbs energy from the sun and stores this energy as heat in the log itself. As night approaches and the outside temperature cools, your log home still has heat stored from during the day which is released at night. This results in natural energy storage for your home. When talking about energy efficiency, we often talk in terms of R-values. There has been much research done on R-values in the log home industry, most of which can be found in the following report published by the NAHB Log Homes Council.
