Design Advantages of eLoghomes

Customization – We have over 200 different log home elevations and layouts that are customizable. Expand your home, add windows and doors, handcrafted log beams and posts, tongue and groove panels for an alternative look on walls and ceilings, decks, porches, upgraded stairs, and more. Your choices are many.
Designs from 320 sq. ft. to over 4000 sq. ft. – We offer home sizes from small cabins to luxury log home residences
Adaptable to all foundation types – Whether you require a slab, basement, or construction on piers, we can assist you in designing the home from the first-floor system up to meet your requirements
Designed for your specific building codes – Although we do rely on the local expertise of your general contractor to ensure that your design meets current codes, our experience in nearly every market of the country gives us a head start on knowing how to accomplish that for you.
Energy efficiency features – We offer our 6-point WeatherLink ™ system which creates a weather-tight seal for your home. Register to find out more from our team.

In addition, whether through increasing the size of the logs themselves, or upgrading to more energy-saving products, such as with upgraded windows and doors, we can help you to meet your local building requirements and save energy costs.

Other exclusive features of our homes

Choice of multiple sizes of Eastern white pine logs – From 6×8 to 8×12, we offer a range of sizes for your preference and energy efficiency needs.

Choice of multiple log profiles – Original Classic D and four other design choices
Choice of multiple log corner designs – Saddlenotch, Dovetail, Notch & Pass, and other popular styles are available.
Decks, porches, porte cocheres, and garages – We provide pressure-treated lumber, posts and rails, and roofing materials.
Our garages can be attached or detached and built with either log siding to match the home, or upgraded with full log walls.

We have many upgrade options….

Decorative handcrafted posts and beams – Nothing says log home like the natural look of a large, decorative post and beam, either on the interior or exterior, on a porch, the deck posts, the stairs, a corner post, or over a fireplace. The design options are nearly endless.
Tongue & groove panels – Include a more finished look in your log home for your interior walls, ceilings, and exterior soffits
Full log walls on the second story – Our homes are designed with siding over a typical wood frame on the second floor or half story. Upgrading to a full log on that level is a great option for additional energy savings and a complete log home look.
Upgraded stairs to heavy timbers – This is a great alternative to standard treads.
Roof dormers with false corners – This additional feature can be added to the roof on many of our models.
