Beware of the so call "Log Home company."  Just because someone says it is a log home company and has a slick website doesn't really mean that it is a log home company.

In the simplest terms, to be a real log home company you need to answer the following questions: 
1) Does a company mill its own logs or does it buy them from someone else?
2) Does the company specialize in just one type of wood or does it claim to have Pine, Cedar, and oh yeah  -- we have Cypress also?
3) Does it have its own design department or does it farm out its design and drafting?  
4) How many employees does it have?   

Did you know that there are more than 400 "log home companies" today but less than 70 are an actual log home company, which can answer the questions above.  The rest are just something less than a true log home company.
