David Janczak, founder of Wisconsin Log Homes, says consumers experience a 25 to 30 percent cost savings just from the speed of construction of insulated log homes. Our home packages, which include energy efficient doors and Low-E windows, can be built by any quality custom home builder. Electrical and plumbing work is all conventional and any qualified subcontractor can do the job. Any house designed for conventional construction can be built with insulated logs, along with any interior finish from log to dry wall. Our clients feel that the aesthetic is more important than the authentic, as long as the quality is there.
Flexibility is especially important for people who are concerned about too much wood in a log home.
They can put the log emphasis only in the rooms or on the walls that they wish, achieving any desired effect from warm and rustic to contemporary. For instance, the Fagerlees wanted a bright, contemporary home, while others may desire a more rustic look. But, everyone who builds a custom log home wants to create a home that they can feel comfortable in and that reflects their personality. The good feeling keeps growing. It looks good, feels good, and I hate leaving it.
