Selecting a Timber Frame, Structural Insulated Panel (SIP) or Log Company (If You Choose One of These Building Systems)
"Decades of Experience in All Things Timber!"
When choosing a Timber Frame or Log Company, be sure to consider the following:
- Check references. Hearthstone has provided the highest quality of customer service for thousands of satisfied customers. We will gladly provide references upon request.
- What type of materials are used? Hearthstone offers a wide variety of wood species available in standard or custom sizes, selecting only the highest quality timbers. Most of our homes are white pine, Douglas fir, or oak. But, we’ve worked with recycled or reclaimed timbers of various species, standing dead timbers, cedar, cypress, walnut, hickory, yellow pine, and others.
- Are full blueprints provided? Hearthstone provides full working blueprints as well as timber engineering (as required by code) as a part of our 'value engineered' home packages.
- What does the package include? Compare inclusions carefully. Hearthstone provides many materials and services that our competition does not include. We will help our clients understand ALL that is included in our home packages.
- Check for quality. Hearthstone guarantees our clients' satisfaction with the quality of both our product and our services.
- Do the logs have a through-bolt system? Hearthstone's through-bolt system provides extra support for logs to reduce shrinkage and twisting of the logs, reducing the long-term maintenance needs of your Hearthstone Log Home.
- Are the logs Hand-Hewn and dove-tailed or round log detailed? Many log home companies use machine-hewn logs. Hearthstone uses only hand-hewn logs in order to provide the authentic representation of an historic log cabin. All dove-tailing and round log scribing is performed by hand as well.
- How large are the timbers? At Hearthstone, our standard timbers are 8"x 8". We offer larger and custom sized timbers as well, by request.
- Delivery date and charges? We will fully review all delivery timelines and charges as we move forward in the process of creating your home.
- How long have they been in business? Hearthstone has been in business since 1971, serving thousands of satisfied customers.
WORKING WITH HEARTHSTONE HOMES: While we often act as general contractor on the Hearthstone Timber Frame, Structural Insulated Panel and Log Homes we manage locally, this is not always the case. We can work with another owner-selected General Contractor, a commercially licensed contractor or in an Owner/Contractor situation.
