Log Home Construction

Great Southern Log Homes provides custom log home construction with an emphasis on craftsmanship, planning, engineering, and attention to detail.


Our team brings decades of combined experience in log home construction, including design, engineering, restoration, and construction.


We also have experience with log homes built for areas subject to demanding weather and building requirements, including Florida.


A successful log home project begins long before the first log is placed. Floor-plan selection, property conditions, structural requirements, materials, openings, roof design, porches, interior layouts, and finishing requirements all need to work together.

Log Home Restoration and Maintenance

Owning a log home requires ongoing attention to the logs, finishes, chinking, moisture exposure, and other exterior components.


Great Southern Log Homes provides restoration and maintenance services for existing log homes.


Depending on the condition of the structure, a restoration project may include inspection, cleaning, damaged-log replacement, wood preservation, staining, sealing, chinking, and other repairs.


Regular inspection and maintenance can help identify problems before they become larger restoration projects.
