I always hear "I have always wanted a LOG HOME!"

No matter where I am, if I mention that I have built and sold Cedar Log Homes, the response is always, "I have always wanted a Log Home". 
My question is, why haven't you built one? 
A few common misconceptions are that they require too much maintenance, cost too much, aren't permanent residences, and that they can't get financed. 

A Log Home, aesthetics aside, require the same amount of maintenance as a conventionally built home, they are 40% more energy efficient, are great permanent residences, and cost about the same as any other custom built home.  If you are thinking about a LOG HOME, contact me today at 412-629-0069.  North American Wholesale Cedar Log Homes.  www.nawclh.com

Non Conforming New Construction Loans

After a long conversation with Real Estate and Lending executive in the Banking industry, I learned that the banks have loosened their regulations a little for non-conforming new construction loans.  When you build a Log Home, unless you are a cash buyer, you have to obtain a non-conforming new construction loan.  The reason is because every Log Home Company requires payment in full for the Log Home "KIT" upon delivery.  This means that there is an extra draw scheduled into the loan. 

A standard new construction loan consists of 6 draws.  A non-conforming new construction loan consists of anywhere from 7-9 draws.  A draw is a release of the money to pay for materials and labor.  The requirements still are 20% down.  This can be in the form of cash or equity or a combination of both.  You also must have a credit score of 725 or higher.  So, if you have been thinking about building your DREAM CEDAR LOG HOME, now is the time.  Interest rates are at an all time low, and financing just became a little bit easier.  Contact Kim Schneider with NORTH AMERICAN WHOLESALE CEDAR LOG HOMES for more information.  412-629-0069.  Local models available to view by appointment. 

Traditional, Contemporary, Rustic, and Country

These are some of the labels for design choices.  Cedar Log Homes are not unlike a standard framed home in that you bring your own personal touch to the finishes.  A Cedar Log Home can be finished in so many ways!  From hardwood floors, to whirlpool bathtubs.  These finishes are the things that complete the home.  North American Wholesale Cedar Log Homes offers vendors and suppliers that are sure to offer finishes that compliment your taste and budget.  If you have always wanted a Log Home, now is the time to make your Dream come true!  Contact us today at 412-629-0069 or visit us at www.nawclh.com

Stability and Efficiency of Log Homes

Over the last 30 years research has found that Log Homes are structurally sound when faced by natural disasters. There are documented cases such as a Log Home being overtaken by high flood waters that raised the home completely off its foundations, and it floated intact down the river. A tornado, several years ago went through a small Illinois town and wiped out all of the homes with the exception being a Log Home. Even the wildfires of California proved to be powerless over a Log Home. In topanga Canyon, Ca a Log Home owned by Nicholas and Wendy Walker was a place of refuge for firefighters and neighbors during a typical wildfire. The home, constructed of Cedar Logs and a metal roof, escaped the fire with minimal damage! If you are considering a Log Home, let NORTH AMERICAN WHOLESALE CEDAR LOG HOMES help you get started.

Local Building codes

An important factor in choosing who you use as your Log Home Manufacturer is where they are located. If you live in Western Pennsylvania and buy a Log Home Kit from a company located in Tennessee, how will they know your local building codes. What if they provide a roof system that doesn't comply with your local code? NORTH AMERICAN WHOLESALE CEDAR LOG HOMES is located in Wexford, Pa and has a vast working knowledge of the Universal Construction Code that is used throughout the state of Pennsylvania. We know that if are going to build in the Mountains north of State College Pa, that you can not build a roof system with rafters any further apart than 24" on center. We also know that the R value of the insulation on the roof in those areas is R40 rather than R30. For information on building your Dream Cedar Log Home contact us today at 1-866-933-5647

What determines the "KIT" Cost?

Every Log Home Company puts together what is referred to as the Kit. This is the compilation of materials being offered by the Log Home Manufacturer. Comparing apples to apples is very difficult for the average consumer. While some companies offer windows and doors in their kit, others don't. The Kit or Log Home Package is only one factor in the total cost of a home. Don't be fooled by the company who says they are providing you more in their kit. The only way to price a house accurately is to start from the bottom up. The only important factor in the Kit is if the wood that you are being provided is CEDAR! NORTH AMERICAN WHOLESALE CEDAR LOG HOMES will show you not only what is included in the kit, but what is not in the kit. We also provide an extensive cost analysis so you can determine reasonably how much your total project will cost.
