    As a family owned and operated log home company, we have a vested interest in  our customers opinions.  With so much of our business coming from referrals we have asked our past customers why they chose Mountain Creations Log Homes and this is what a couple of them had to say...

     

    I have to tell you that we are just so excited as we see progress every week on our Mountain Creations log home.  I cannot express how grateful I am to have this whole building experience with you and all of your family. Wow! Everyone, and I mean everyone, that I deal with as this has progressed has nothing but the best to say about your family and Mountain Creations"

     

    -Christine G.

     

    "Like most people, we did our research and considered other log home manufacturers, but not one was able to provide us with the confidence, guidance and comfort that Mountain Creations did. If we had to do all over again, there is not one thing that we would change. It's crazy how making the right decision has impacted our lives every day and imprinted us with an amazing experience."

    -Renee & Larry

     

    At Mountain Creations, we are so very happy and proud of the relationships we have established with past, present and future customers and a large part of those growing relationships is due to the fact that we make customer service our #1 priority.  We have heard from many customers that they went with Mountain Creations because they felt comfortable and they had all the information they needed right at their fingertips, all they have to do is call. 


    To continue this process we want to know what you have to say!  Email me at ksnyder@mountaincreations.com and let me know your questions.  I will be featuring one "Frequently Asked Question" every week on our blog in an attempt to educate and assist future customers on their journey to building their dream log home.  Ask us anything!   If your question is picked for the blog you will receive a special incentive!

    Log Homes Waste Not

    Share on Twitter Twitter | Share on Facebook Facebook | Submit to Digg digg it |  Add to delicious  delicious |  Submit to StumbleUpon StumbleUpon |  Share on LinkedIn LinkedIn 

    With every new construction of a building you have the environmental factor of waste to consider.  In years past contractors have dumped excess materials into local landfills and companies have made no attempt to be eco-conscious during the manufacturing process.  The times have changed and companies like Mountain Creations Log & Timber Homes are making the environment a priority.  

    During the milling process, we make sure that we use each part of the tree as best we can.  The production of a log package emits little to no toxins in the air as compared to the manufacturing processes of concrete, brick and conventional homes using pressure treated lumber.  Trying to keep the carbon footprint as low as possible, the excess cedar is chipped into mulch and used for landscaping and even fueling machines. 

    Once the construction process has started, our builders work to minimize waste by perfecting cuts and managing time and materials properly. We can put you in touch with local wood-working artisans, kitchen cabinet makers as well as construction recycling programs in the area to make the most of the materials you may have remaining.  

    After 25 years in the log home industry we have learned what works best and alongside our builders and subcontractors are committed to creating your perfect log home experience.  

    Keep checking out our blog to learn about the newest innovations in eco-friendly building as we look forward to the days of hybrid tractor trailers and environmentally friendly shipping.  


    Your Guide to Getting Started: Spring Construction

    As the ground thaws and Spring's blooms are fast approaching, landscapers, builders and home buyers are getting ready to start their newest projects.  So many people want to wait until the Spring to get started building their new log home, however, it can take some planning and help to get going on the right track. 

    If you are thinking of building a log home this Spring, Mountain Creations Log Homes can help you through each step of the process.  One of the first steps is to go to your township and pick up all the information on obtaining a building permit.  Once you have your packet from the township Mountain Creations can help you sort through it, gather the appropriate information and complete the ResCheck energy information.   We offer assistance obtaining building permits, surveys, and structural seals when necessary.

    While our designers are busy working on your construction blueprints, we will get to work compiling all of your estimates and getting your financing started.  We provide a complete cost analysis of each home based on your specific design and interior details.  Financing typically takes about 30 days and the log package will be cut and ready to ship the week after you go to closing.  Our customers who are starting this process now will be moving into their new log homes by September!  

    To get started designing your new log home check out our log home plans or give us a call at 800.661.5647.

    Beyond The Log Home Package

    There are many misconceptions within the log home industry but one of the most common seems to be when it comes to the log home package.

    Some frequently asked questions:

    What do you include in your log package?

    At Mountain Creations Log Homes, we include items that make sense and mostly include components that we manufacture.  

    It is very important to remember that every log home company offers a different package or "kit" and comparing apples to apples is virtually impossible for the homeowner or the log home companies themselves.   At Mountain Creations Log Homes we strive to go beyond the log package and help our customers with each facet of their log home.  We can help you coordinate everything from your building permit to the flooring.

    Our standard log package includes all of your Exterior 6 x 6 D Style Log Walls, R 38 Exposed Roof Rafter System, Exposed 2nd Floor System,  Heavy Timber Porch Roof Systems & Decking and Interior Tongue & Groove for all interior walls, ceilings & closets.  In addition to these componenets our standard package includes complete custom design & construction blueprints, Accessories and Sikkens Cetol stain.  

    Do you include Windows & Doors?

    If you have put some time into researching log homes you know that some companies include windows & doors, while some include shingles and others include interior doors only.  There is no consistency from company to company.

    We do not include windows & doors, interior doors or shingles for a few very simple reasons.  We want our customers to have the freedom to choose whichever window company or style of shingle or metal roof that fits their taste.  No two Mountain Creations Log Homes are alike and you will have the opportunity to customize your home to your exact liking.  When it comes to these items, you will want to have these delivered when you need them to make life easier on the builder as well as keep your windows from becoming damaged during construction.  We have set up relationships with Pella Windows as well as local lumber companies to allow you the flexibility you need and offering you great deals and general contractors pricing. 


    Remember when it comes to building your house that there is much more involved than just the log package.  There is no magic formula or perfect multipliers for determining the cost of your log home.  We will help you cost out each component of your home and help you stay in budget.  Call us today to learn more about how to get started.  800.661.5647
