Quality Comparison

A large attribute of our company is our log lengths. We use logs up to 16 feet, most other companies use only 8 and 10 foot logs. Logs 16 foot greatly minimizes log splices, and creates a more attrative home.

Kiln drying is a quality feature that other companies don't offer. Properly dried logs will reduce gaps and air in-filtation. Logs that are not properly dried will shrink and cause unsighty gaps. This is why other companies need to caulk their joints.
