2010...Building a Log Home in the New Year
With the New Year rapidly approaching people are starting to think about getting underway with their
log home construction plans. Every Spring, the housing industry start buzzing as new homes are beginning, older homes are renovated and garages are being built. While this trend does not seem to be fading anytime soon what has changed is the number of homes built during the winter months.
According to the NAHB, new construction sales have been steadily increasing over the past twelve months since their sharp drop off in 2008, setting the log home construction industry up for a busy new year. While the Spring is undoubtably the most popular time of year to build, log home lovers are getting started early and saving big money doing it!
Getting started in the winter months with your new log home can save you money in all facets of construction, including the log home package, framing lumber, labor costs, freight and big ticket items like windows & doors. Companies are generally slower in the winter months, allowing the customer to find great deals on appliances, flooring, plumbing fixtures and many of the items found at your local Home Depot or Lowes.
What about the weather? Western PA and surrounding areas have it 'relatively easy' in the winter months. With a snow storm here or there, contractors can usually get your log home under roof in a little under 8 winter weeks. If unforseen weather comes your way, don't worry, remember you are still saving thousands by building during the winter months.
Whether you are interested in saving money, taking advantage of the extended tax credit or just want to get started with your dream log home as soon as possible, Mountain Creations Log Homes can help.
