How does the cost of a timber frame compare to a log home?
It all depends on the type of log home you are comparing. The better log home packages can be every bit as expensive as a high-quality timber frame home package. In addition, the quality of products and services being sold in the log home industry varies greatly. Some of the pre-cut, machine-profiled packages may appear to be quite inexpensive, but that can change when finishing costs are taken into consideration. Packages that use western-style, hand-scribed or full-logs are generally more expensive than timber frame packages.
