Log Accented Homes

The popularity of log and timber accents continues to grow as customers explore the endless possibilities, with a more budget price. Log Accents provide the beauty and warmth of logs to conventional frame construction. We custom build all our accents to your exact specifications. Our projects call out for natural log accents Central Oregon Log Homes is there to deliver. Log Accents can be added to any type of construction. When used inside, outside or both, logs can add that unique lodge feeling that sets your home a cut above the rest.

We can supply our customers with natural hand-peeled logs. We also can supply log trusses, log stair railing, log siding,  and fireplace mantels. For your special projects we can help you design that special log home feeling, in an accent.

A log accented home is very similar to a log post and beam home.  The biggest difference is in a log post and beam home, the posts and beams are mostly structural or all structural.  In a log accented house you have very little and sometimes none of the logs are structural.  Most of the standard building practices are used.  This lowers the cost yet still gives a custom hand crafted log feel.  Prices are around $100 per square foot.

A log accented home can be built using any standard house plan, prominent areas such as an entrance way, great room, porch post, mantels, and hand railing.  This gives your home the lodge feel of a log home and allows you a more cost effictive method to provide the warmth that only hand crafted logs can provide.  The amount and extent of log accents can vary hugely, depending on house design and a client's wishes and budget.
