Building Log Homes And Commercial Structures

Log homes and commercial properties hearken back to our roots as Americans in a way that almost nothing else does. They’re synonymous with our heritage. But they have numerous benefits which make them an ideal residence or business structure in our time as well. Their rustic beauty aside, there are many sound reasons to build a new log home. They are impressively energy efficient, rugged and extremely well-crafted, remarkably quiet and they are easy to maintain.

These are a few of the reasons we at Great Southern Log Homes have made the decision to build them. By doing so, we know we’re delivering a superior, reliable product that our customers will love to call home or work in everyday. There’s something that’s simply harmonious about a log home. Maybe it’s the way they blend into our natural surroundings, becoming a part of the greater landscape, accenting our environment in a manner that speaks to balance and accord with nature, or perhaps it’s their unique invocation of hearth and home. We just know we love building them. And we see the results in our customer’s smiles.

At Great Southern Log Homes, we proudly build, restore, maintain and inspect log homes across the entire Southeastern United States.

• Sustainability – Because log homes are built using renewable resources, they contribute to the growing trend of “green” building. How and where the wood is sourced, the different varieties of wood used, the amount of energy and labor all play a role in why log homes are greener. Please ask us for further details.Thermal mass – Thermal mass refers to the ability of the logs to maintain a comfortable temperature year-round. The density of the wood contributes to this. That thermal mass contributes to savings for you.
• Quiet – Log homes are famously quiet. This is because the density of the wood dampens sounds.
• Easy to maintain – In Southern states where humidity is constantly high along with temperatures, we’re always subject to mold, mildew, fungi and insect infestation. That’s because, in traditional homes, there are cavities in the wall which are sealed, creating a vulnerability for those unwelcome molds and insects to exploit. Log homes do not have these hollows. Plus, inspection is easy.
