Wisconsin Log Homes Testimonial




Originally we had planned to build a timber frame home. We had gone as far as having a timber frame home designed. However, after seeing a picture of a Wisconsin Log Home that we really liked in a Log Home magazine, we decided to weigh the pros and cons of timber frame vs. Thermal-Log construction. We could achieve our top priorities of high energy efficiency and vaulted ceilings with massive beams with either timber frame or Wisconsin Log Homes construction techniques. We did cost estimates for building our home via timber frame and Wisconsin Log Homes and concluded that it would be less costly to build our home using Wisconsin Log Homes' package building system. We planned to use cedar siding for the exterior of the home. After receiving a sample of the custom made cedar siding from Wisconsin Log Homes, the decision was easy. The massive cedar siding is truly unique.

We were extremely pleased with Wisconsin Log Homes throughout the whole planning and building process. The process, from start to finish, went very smoothly. It started with Wisconsin Log Homes designers modifying the basic plan that we liked. The design team was very responsive to our requests and after numerous modifications, we had our plan. We received the cost estimate for the package in a timely manner which enabled us to make the decision to build our home. This started a well orchestrated process that was clearly spelled out in advance so that we knew what to expect at every step along the way.

Our home consultant at Wisconsin Log Homes was very helpful throughout the process including the design phase, the delivery of materials, and the building phase. He helped us find a quality builder and also helped to expedite the delivery of materials to meet the builder’s schedule. He interacted directly with our builder on questions during the building process.

We are very satisfied with our home and with Wisconsin Log Homes. The design of the home, the beautiful cedar siding, the massive beams with T&G vaulted ceilings turned our “Dream Home” into a reality.
