Log home packages and log home construction

At Coast Mountain Log Homes, building quality log home packages is our first priority. We start with only the finest building logs available. All logs are full length Red Cedar, Douglas Fir or Spruce and are 12"-16" in diameter. All logs are air-dried for 1 year minimum then hand peeled using only a drawknife. Each log is then hand selected by our master builder for straightness and uniform diameter. We do not use bent logs or logs that have too much taper. Each log is then scribe fitted to the log below, ensuring a weather tight seal. Our log homes do not require chinking as we install a double foam gasket between each course of log work. All corners are joined using the "saddle" notch or the full Norwegian notch and are "over scribed" to ensure a tight fit during the seasoning process.

Log Home Package Details

Our log shell packages include the log work only. If you are unclear what a log shell package is, Click here for more information on what a log shell is. Upon the buyers request we can supply everything needed to finish the log home. Prices for complete packages are available only on an individual basis due to the time involved in pricing these custom orders. A log shell from Coast Mountain Log Homes generally takes six to eight weeks to build on our assembly yard and two to three days to reassemble on your site. Our log homes leave the assembly yard ready for the subtrades to begin the finishing work.
