About The Log Homes Council
Building your dream log home is likely one of the largest investments you will make in your lifetime. But you’re not the only stakeholder in this project. Your local building department requires the home be constructed to code. Your lender wants the home to be valued correctly. The builder wants to earn more business through word-of-mouth, as does the log home manufacturer.
With so much riding on this decision, who do you trust? We suggest limiting your choices to members of the Log Homes Council. Why? Because these companies offer peace of mind. All have adopted policies designed to protect your investment, as well as assist everyone involved in this project.
All Log Homes Council’s members must:
- Abide by a strict code of ethics
- Grade their logs and timbers by a third party agencies to ensure quality
- Provide construction manuals to ensure homes are built to meet building codes
- Sponsor scientific studies that advance log building technologies
- Provide FREE information to help consumers make smart choices
“This means when you buy from a Log Homes Council member, you are getting quality building materials that will stand the test of time,” says Jim Murphy, president of the Log Homes Council and a log home manufacturer from Mauston, WI.
The advantages of choosing a log home manufacturer that is part of the Log Homes Council does not stop with those membership requirements. What you will find when you start shopping for a log home producer among these companies is that the men and women who make their living in this industry have a real passion for their work. It’s refeshing to interact with someone who has a genuine enthusiasm for what they do.
“When was the last time you bought anything from anyone who not only harvests the raw materials, but also designs and crafts the finished product?,” asks Murphy. “You will find everyone from the sales rep to the owner of the company have something in common with you: They share the same passion for living in a log home as you do.”
