2. Less time and labor required to erect saving considerable construction costs

Most wood log home producers do not include erection costs in their package cost. On average, customers must budget an additional $25-$35 per square foot for erection. ELS erection costs are included in our package price. On a 2000 square foot home, a ELS home owner would save $50,000 - $70,000. This is a substantial savings for anyone’s budget.

5. Practically maintenance free, no need to preserve, re-stain, or seal annually

According to log home restoration companies, wood log owners spend an average of $750 a year in time and materials just to maintain their home. In addition, every three to five years wood log home owners pay generally pay $6000 or more to have their homes preserved, re-stained and sealed.

Our package is practically maintenance free. We want our customers to enjoy their homes not the other way around.
