Log Home builders by state
Log Homes in the U.S.
Log homes have been around in the United States for hundreds of
years.
They became important in the expansion westward as settlers who
moved to the plains states needed a quick and inexpensive way to
set up their new home and begin to live the American Dream.
Today log homes are still very popular but in addition to the basic log
cabins that serve mainly as vacation homes many people are building
beautiful, luxurious modern log homes. Log Homes come in all
shapes and sizes, and many different forms of construction are used
in the building of log homes.
Today, many companies are now manufacturing Modular Log
Homes. These log homes are partly put together in a factory
environment and brought to the home site in sections.
Other log homes are built on site but different methods may be used.
Some log homes are built with handcrafted logs and others are now
built with milled logs that are run through a machine to make them
consistent in size and appearance.
