Make no mistake – building a log home is no small thing. It’s a lifestyle choice, and that makes it important to understand what’s involved. If building a log home is your dream but you feel limited by budget or location, there are ways to capture the spirit of a log home using more traditional construction.

• Rules prevent you from building a log home in a typical urban or suburban setting – and who’d want to anyway?
• You must be ready to live in a more rural or remote setting than you may be used to.
• Log requires greater upkeep and maintenance than more common home construction and finishings.
• Log homes are among the more costly types of home or cottage to build.
• You’ve got to want to live in it for a long time. Because log homes are a lifestyle choice, it can be more difficult to find a buyer.

It’s Possible

Most log home suppliers see the client coming from miles away. If you love log construction, you’ll probably be willing to sacrifice a lot to get that home of your dreams, and vendors know it. 

That’s partly why Hero For Hire became part of Maison Paragon Homes. Through the company’s Canada Log Homes division, our Hero is able provide value-laden log home kits that are affordable to more people. 

And, while many self-builders with the log home dream discover that full log construction is not affordable to them, Hero For Hire has provided unique manufactured home designs and kits that capture the spirit of log in a hybrid or manufactured home solution.
