Frequently Asked Questions
Below is some of our customers most frequently asked questions. If you have any additional questions, let us know.
What's the estimated total cost of a completed log home?
For owner-built homes, a reasonable total cost estimate is 2-3 times the log package price. Using a $60,000 pre-assembled log package as an example:
- Low estimate: 2 × $60,000 = $120,000 total cost
- High estimate: 3 × $60,000 = $180,000 total cost
If you hire Meadowlark and other contractors for onsite re-assembly and finish work, a total cost estimate is 3-4 times the log package price. Using a $60,000 pre-assembled log package:
- Low estimate: 3 × $60,000 = $180,000 total cost
- High estimate: 4 × $60,000 = $240,000 total cost
Another way of estimating total cost is use a low number of $250 per sq. ft. on simpler cabins and homes, and $550 as a high range for larger, more complex homes.
- Low example of 2000 sq. ft home x $250= $500,000 total cost
- High example of 2000 sq. ft. home x $550= $1,100,000 total cost
The above are estimates only. To achieve a more detailed and accurate total cost, you will first need a floor plan and a contractor to provide you with all the finished costs. Pavilions and other structures have a different price estimate, so the above does not apply.
Is cutting required during onsite re-assembly?
All window and door openings must be cut after log package re-assembly.
All log purlin overhangs must be trimmed to final length after roof framing is installed.
Do you have DIY Friendly Log Packages?
Yes! We offer efficient & affordable DIY options for those looking for cabin kits designed specially with the do-it-yourselfer in mind.
What floor plans are included in the package?
The package includes floor plans for footings/crawl space foundation, floor and roof framing, main floor (and loft if shown), and elevations/electrical. Note that Floor Plan Changes and Basement Floor Plans are offered through our custom design services. Learn more about Meadowlark Log Home Design Serices
How is the log stairway installed?
The log stairway comes fully assembled and lifts into place with a crane in minutes.
Do the prices on the website reflect what's shown in the photos?
The prices reflect the actual floor plan with features and options as shown for that plan. Photos may show a variety of design options different from the floor plan shown. We provide various photos to display different features.
What finish do the logs have?
All logs are Standard Clean Skip Handpeel (no bark). Extra Clean Handpeel is available as an upgrade. Interior sanding/buffing/cleaning of logs and surfaces is always required before varnishing.
