Services
Full Scribe Log Homes
Full scribe log homes provide the tightest fit and best insulation for permanent residences. Each log is scribed to match the contours of the previous round, eliminating gaps that require chinking. This premium construction method ensures energy efficiency and durability in all climates.
Chink Style Log Homes
Chink style log homes offer an economical alternative for weekend cabins. Logs are notched but not scribed, with gaps filled using chinking material. This cost-effective method maintains structural integrity while providing rustic charm for secondary residences.
Piece on Piece Construction
Piece-on-piece construction combines post-and-beam techniques with log walls. Mortise and tenon joinery stacks logs between posts, compatible with full scribe or chink style methods. This versatile approach allows for open floor plans and mixed architectural elements.
