Yes we are. We have been around since 1966, and have lived in the same small town our whole life. We encourage you to call our banker if you are at all worried. We wanted to put this question in here because some people forget how important it is to deal with a reputable company. You don’t want to deal with a log home company that is going to go broke halfway through the construction of your home. Make sure they have the means to satisfy you. Look at how much inventory they have. Visit several plants, look at their manufacturing facility, and how their warehouse, model home and grounds are kept up. Look for red flags. You are going to give some company a lot of money for a package, so be sure they have the means to provide all the materials you will need to complete your log home.

Do I need to do something special for settling when I install my kitchen cabinets in a Golden Eagle full log house?

No. Because Golden Eagle provides only dry logs, the cabinets can be screwed directly to the log wall.

How long does it take to build a Golden Eagle Log Home?

It takes approximately the same amount of time as a standard home. It takes about 3-4 months to build a 1,400 – 1,800 square foot home, 5-6 months for a 1,800 – 2,100 square foot home, and 6-9 months for a 2,200 – 3,200 square foot home. It depends on how large of a crew your builder has and how difficult the house is to build, etc.

Let’s say your builder tells you it will take 4 months to build your new log home. Tell him you will give him 5 months, but after 5 months he owes you $100 per day. This is a good way to protect yourself so the builder doesn’t take on more jobs while letting yours sit. Have him put it in his contract.
