BUILDING STEPS

FINANCING Log Homes

Concerns about lending on a log home are common. Our experience is that in most states, lenders treat log homes the same as conventional construction. Therefore, we find few problems related to mortgages on log homes. However, we also work with some of the largest lenders in the U.S. We have a partnership with American Log Mortgage and Wells Fargo Bank.  If you need pre-qualification to find out how much your might be eligible to borrow for a new log home or if you need a construction loan and mortgage, we encourage you to call  Dean Loux at American Log Mortgage or Troy Kennedy at Wells Fargo.

BUILDING OPTIONS 

With Strongwood as your partner, we offer more than great design and building advice and  the best log systems in the world, we offer several building options to choose from.  

An Owner-Builder should have some building experience or hire a competent local building contractor. We are happy to assist you in locating a good local builder. An Owner-Builder or building contractor does not necessarily need log building experience. An owner-builder should expect to be involved in the building process on a daily basis. 

An Owner-Partner does not need building experience but should have some previous home repair or do-it-yourself experience. An Owner-Partner may choose from a variety of levels of participation in their home building project. It may include such things as site clearing, getting permits, purchasing and/or installing cabinets, sinks, electrical fixtures, and plumbing fixtures, staining and painting, or purchasing and installing flooring materials. It may also include other phases of the home building project, too. You choose how much you would like to do according to your time and abilities. Owner-Partners can save some money by being involved in the process of building their home. 

Strongwood will expertly  manage every phase of the construction of a new home for the Turnkey Owner. There are dozens of decisions and choices to make regarding  floor plan options, styles of windows and doors, exterior and interior colors, floor coverings, plumbing and electrical fixtures, counter tops,  decks, fireplaces among others. We will guide you through every step of the process from start to finish.  We hire and manage all subcontractors and suppliers. Strongwood Construction is a licensed General Contractor in the state of Wisconsin. 

Our philosophy includes corporate partnerships with the best in the business. Learn more about our great corporate partners such as Pella, Sikkens, and Timber Valley.
