Log Home Builders in Tennessee

What kind of log home can we build?

• Full log homes. Solid log walls inside and out, for the classic cabin look and feel.
• Log cabin additions.A new log wing, porch, or room added to an existing log home, matched to what's already there.
• Your plans or ours. Plans drawn to the log package, or we work with plans you already have.

Every log home starts with a walk of your property. We talk through log species and profiles, how the home should sit on the site, and what style of construction fits your land, your budget, and how the home will be lived in.

How do you keep a log home tight and dry?

Most log home problems come from water and movement, so we build for both from the start:

• Moisture management. Generous roof overhangs, porches that shelter the walls, and grading that moves water away from the foundation.
• Built for settling. Log walls settle over time. Window bucks, door frames, and mechanical runs are built to move with the logs, not fight them.
• Chinking and sealing. Proper chinking, stain, and sealant protect the logs from weather and insects.
• Honest maintenance guidance. At the final walkthrough we go over the upkeep that keeps a log home looking great, so nothing catches you off guard.

Our log home building process

1. Site and species consultation. We walk the land with you and talk through options before anything is drawn.
2. Design and sourcing. We finalize the floor plan and coordinate the log package so materials arrive ready to stack.
3. Construction. Scott leads the crew on site, and you get a weekly walk-through with a clear picture of where things stand.
4. Chinking, sealing, and final walk. We protect the logs, finish the punch list, and walk the home together.

Can you add an addition to a log cabin?

Yes. A log cabin addition can add a bedroom, a bigger kitchen, or a covered porch. The key is matching the new logs to the old ones and planning for the fact that new logs will settle while the existing walls already have. We'll look at the cabin, tell you what's possible, and plan the connection so the two parts work together.

What does a log home cost?

Cost depends on the size, the log package, the site, and your finishes, so we price each log home after we've walked the land and seen the plan. For planning context, read our guide to building a custom log home in Crossville and our breakdown of cost per square foot in Tennessee.

A log home we built

Our log home in the Upper Cumberland has a wraparound porch, a green metal roof, a cathedral ceiling with timber beams, a stone corner fireplace, and a custom walk-in shower with a bear tile mural. It's a good example of the hand-finished details a log home can carry.

Where we build log homes

We build log homes across Middle Tennessee, from Cookeville to Crossville, Sparta, Jamestown, Livingston, Gainesboro, Smithville, McMinnville, and Carthage, out to Lebanon, Murfreesboro, and Mount Juliet.
