Building Materials
Log Cabins For Less - for budget minded folks, who expect quality materials at a fair price.
Our customers can choose from one of our floorplans, or bring us their own. And if they don’t have one, our in-house design team will work with them to get the plan they’ve always dreamed of.
After your log home package has been delivered, we continue to work with our customers, providing them additional building products for their new log home. Quality products such as tongue and groove siding for the interior walls, knotty pine interior doors, and log railing, just to name a few.
Here at Log Cabins For Less, we don’t build log homes, we build relationships.
We also help you find the qualified builders you need to help make your home beautiful and affordable.
