Hello Friends, With the coming of a new year, we get a chance for  fresh starts, new resolutions and unspoiled dreams.  Reminds me of the clean, fresh fallen snow.  I love the feeling of the unspoiled landscape after a new snow.  It’s like hitting the reset button.  Here’s to clean beginnings!  Glad you were able to stop by.  Let’s do a little dreaming together. At Montana Specialty Log Construction, we understand how important quality work, custom craftsmanship and honest communication is for that special project.  This week we are going to debunk some fairly common misconceptions about log home living.  Let’s get started….

Sometimes we come across someone who believes owning a log home is just too much work. That the maintenance is too cumbersome. Let’s take a closer look at these concerns. Do log homes require maintenance? Yes, log homes (as does any home) do require care and maintenance. First and foremost, to prevent potential problems with your home, use a qualified log home builder for the construction. This is so important. Log construction requires special skills and knowledge that differ from your everyday stick built home. Quality building and professional sealants will make a world of difference. Be wary of the guy who says he has a load of cheap logs and hints that he is able to put them together for you. In the long run, this will be no bargain at all.
