I asked the gentleman how I can help him since he made the choice not to purchase logs here and buy all the other materials locally – as I suggest to everyone.  He said:  “You never bad mouthed any specific log company and you did advise us to think about the products to buy ourselves. I thought the “package special” was a great deal. A great deal of added expense and headaches. Now I want to buy logs for a garage and my mother wants to build a log home and I’m back to do it the right way.”

You can do everything a kit seller does for thousands less.
Let us show you how.

One of the (few) complaints one hears about log homes is that there is just too much wood. This reference is about the interior of many log homes and it can be a justifiable criticism.  When this is a valid complaint it usually results from a poor design or lack of imagination on the part of the home owner.

By “poor design” I am referring to the original floor plan choice. Skimping on the number of windows or not choosing large enough windows will always result in dark rooms and that “too much wood” feeling.  There is nothing like natural light to change the entire look and feel of a room.

Imagination (or lack thereof) becomes part of the equation when we choose to let interior room logs dictate design. In other words, just because a wall is made from stacked logs does not mean that we have to look at logs on every wall and in every room of our home.

Log Homes With Fewer Logs

One great example is this home built by a customer of ours, Woodland Custom Homes. This bathroom looks like it could fit in any stick-built home, condo or apartment, yet it is a tastefully decorated full bath in a custom log home.

No Log Limits!

If you are in the “dreaming stage” of planning your log home, researching log home floor plans or want to renovate your current home, think outside of the log box. A room with rock work, tile or sheetrock can do wonders for your overall design. Just because it is a log home does not mean that every square inch needs to be log.

Once again, this is a reason to build your home using our recommended plan. Buy your logs from Wholesale Log Homes and obtain your other building materials locally. Your doors, windows, roofing materials, bathroom fixtures, etc. can all be bought locally and usually at a substantial savings from buying a “kit home”. When it comes time to choose the materials for your bath, kitchen or other rooms, talk to local building suppliers and get their ideas. When you buy your logs wholesale, you’ll save thousands!

Oh yeah, don’t forget…add some more windows.

The post Log Homes – Too Much Log? appeared first on Wholesale Log Homes.

This short video makes one very important point that most log home buyers miss.  The typical scenario is that we plan everything; we research floor plans, talk to manufacturers and builders and go through all the steps that convert a parcel of land into a new log home. We think we covered all the bases, but most people fail to realize that they are buying their logs at retail (i.e. log home kits or log home packages) and usually with a steep markup.

Log Home Packages?

Some companies actually promote the “One Stop Shopping” method where they supply everything from the ground up; windows, doors, roofing and of course the logs and timbers. Such promotions are supposed to be time savers and keep you from shopping around and wasting your time.  Hey, it sounds logical and appeals to many people, but if you want to save thousands of dollars on your log home, don’t pay retail – and do shop around!

The doors, windows and roofing material included in such log home packages can all be purchased locally and delivered when you need them.  Why pay shipping on products you can buy locally?  Additionally, those same products most likely carry an additional mark-up from the log home company promoting the “package deal”…they’re not doing it to lose money.

The same logic holds true for your logs.  If you buy your logs wholesale you can get them shipped to your build site when you need them and save a fortune in the process. In essence, you buy your building products locally and your logs at wholesale.

Let us prove it to you. Send us your plans and we will prepare a free price quote for all your logs, timbers, log siding and any other accessories. Next, get a quote on your roofing materials, windows, doors, etc. from your local supplier.  Compare those prices to any “log home package” price and – make sure you’re sitting down.

Call Wholesale Log Homes and let’s talk about how we can save you money.

You may be interested to find that there are several benefits associated with living in a log home. To help get you acquainted with these benefits, a few have been listed below. While this list is by no means exhaustive, it will give you a brief glimpse into the advantages of converting to a log home.

Energy Efficient

To the economically‐minded, energy efficiency is by far one of the most substantial and appreciated benefits of living in a log home. Log homes provide excellent insulation and therefore can cut back on
the cost to cool or heat your home. Because of the dense nature of the logs, temperature control in a log home often far exceeds that of a standard wood frame house.

Well Crafted

Log homes are built according to very high standards and are made to be incredibly sturdy. They can
withstand the elements with relative ease, making them a durable investment. More importantly, because log homes are built to last, this factor plays into their resale value.

Beautiful and Unique

Log homes create quite a statement no matter where they are located. They create a feeling of rustic
warmth and have quite a lot of curb appeal. They allow their owners to feel like one with nature, while
still providing the amenities of any other home. Because log homes have progressed so much and are
becoming more popular on the market, they can be built to satisfy anyone’s luxurious or modern taste.

Peaceful

While log homes can create a sense of unity with the outside world, they are actually quite effective at keeping the outside noises away. Because logs are so dense, they work as great natural sound reducers
and can keep unwanted noises from being distractions inside the home.

Natural

Log homes utilize nature’s renewable resources and are therefore an environmentally conscious housing choice. The construction of a log home leaves minimal environmental impact and is a great way to go green! Even processing logs requires less energy than does the framing lumber for a conventional home. Log homes are green and sustainable.

Log Home Living Benefits are Many

Log homes are an all around great investment. They provide an inviting and comfortable living space and
serve as a great retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. If well‐maintained, log homes can last a lifetime and can serve as an inviting space to create wonderful memories!

Jul 14, 2012 – Wholesale Log Homes announces a radical new marketing strategy overhaul intended to expand their reach, and appeal to the new breed of Internet users who utilize smartphone and tablet PCs to communicate, socialize and search. Based in Hillsborough, NC, Wholesale Log Homes sells high quality milled heartwood logs for log homes, timbers, finished boards, log siding and log home accessories for log home construction to buyers across the United States and Canada.

Wholesale Log Homes sells wholesale direct to consumers, builders and log home companies. This enables buyers to save money purchasing their logs direct, eliminating the middleman and additional price markups. Wholesale Log Homes has been serving the log home industry since 1972.

Ron Wolfe, owner of Wholesale Log Homes says, “We provide all popular log profiles and log corner styles including dovetail Corners, saddle notch corners, mortise and tenon corners and we offer logs in all popular dimensional sizes.  Customers can buy milled logs as round “D” Logs with or without a drip edge, flat logs with chink joints, clapboard logs, hand hewn timbers, hand peeled posts; virtually any log configuration imaginable. Plus, we offer our kiln-dried logs and air/surface-dried logs to the recommended 18% moisture content.”

Since 1972, the company has helped countless log home builders and homeowners create beautiful, top-quality log homes at prices that log cabin kit sellers simply cannot match.  They take a different approach to the log home business by encouraging buyers not to purchase everything for their log home in a pre-organized package. Log home kits may seem convenient, but customers pay a substantial markup for their logs. Wholesale Log Homes offers the quality customers demand and encourages them to buy all other components like doors, windows and roofing locally and save additional shipping charges.

The company’s kiln-dried logs and air/surface-dried logs meet the recommended 18% moisture content.  Logs are cut from the durable heartwood of the log which makes our logs dimensionally stable. They sell their logs by the linear foot. All necessary cutting to length is done on the building site. Not only does this method guarantee tight-fitting joints and precise cuts, but it also allows maximum control of log placement and appearance. Wholesale Log Homes has earned a reputation throughout the industry for supplying superior logs and wood products to customers across the country.
