Flagstaff Log Homes

Log homes appeal to so many of us. What is it about
these homes that we instinctively like? Is it
being surrounded by the warmth and beauty of wood? Is it the uniqueness of the homes?
Maybe it's the pioneer spirit coming to the surface.
We've come a long way from those small and simple shelters built with basic hand
tools and logs cut from the building location.
Flagstaff area log homes are professionally designed and
engineered. The logs may be from Arizona's Ponderosa pine forests... or other
wood species from Colorado, Missouri, or even western Canada.
Log homes are a popular choice South of Flagstaff Arizona.
They fit so well with the surroundings.
It's obvious that those who enjoy log homes are wood lovers... the colors, character, and textures imparts a warm glow and sense of durability to the
homes.
Whatever each person's reason is, these structures are popular, especially in mountainous, wooded areas. They do
blend into their surroundings so well in these areas.
Modern log homes have gone high tech. Technology has had an impact on the design, construction,
and maintenance that the pioneers just wouldn't believe!
Most of these residences are custom designed and built for the owners. In most cases the logs are fitted and dry-assembled at the log home company's yard to assure it all works... and then it's carefully taken apart.
Each piece is numbered, loaded on trucks in reverse order of construction, and shipped to your site. When the trucks are
unloaded and your home assembled, the first piece your contractor needs is now magically on top of the
load.
Basic log homes and cabins are also available. They too offer
the advantages of professional design and engineering... and they are affordable
on most any home construction budget. Several
log home companies advertise on this page. Their offerings range from the basic
assemble-it-yourself kits to elaborate luxury homes and commercial structures. 
Most log home companies will not cut live trees for logs they supply. Dead, standing trees are preferred overwhelmingly... for both
construction and environmental reasons.
While they've always had many fans, log homes are increasing in popularity. You can get close to nature and still live in a warm, snug, energy efficient home.
There are several magazines focusing on log homes.
