Advances in manufacturing, assembly and energy efficiency have allowed today’s log homes to retain the look and feel of the past with the comfort of modern convenience and technology.
Materials
The species of wood used in your home should have the characteristics that are needed to create a sound, visually appealing structure that retains its strength, value and appearance. The standard wood offered in Hughes Building Systems’ custom log is Eastern White Pine. Our choice of wood results in reduced twisting and warping of the log, allowing for the walls of your home to settle uniformly. The logs are then naturally seasoned and dried slowly, stabilizing the moisture content to prevent future cracking and chipping. This process also helps to maximize the natural fiber strength already present in the wood.
High Quality Milling Process
Hughes Building Systems ensures that you are receiving only the highest quality product. Our attention to detail provides for precise and uniform milling of any and all logs used in your custom log home, allowing for the best possible appearance of the final product. Our precision logs mean uniformity when laying your logs and installing windows and doors. We guarantee that every custom log home will meet or exceed all major building codes.
Innovations in Assembly
