Frequently Asked Questions

I need four bedrooms, but don’t want to build a huge home. What can I do?

Many of our customers create additional bedrooms in the basement. Larger windows, called Egress windows, would need to be installed to meet building code requirements. These windows not only allow natural light in, but also provide a fire escape. Modern basements are insulated, warm and dry, have high ceilings, and with large windows or a walk out wall are cheery and comfortable. Finishing off the basement is very reasonable, approximately $100 per sq. ft. less than upstairs. It is a great way to increase the size of your home for little money.

What length logs do you use?

This question doesn't come up too often, but it is important. On our 8"x8" and 10"x10" full logs, we supply a random assortment of 10' to 16' long logs. On our 8" milled split logs, we supply 12' to 16' lengths. On our super round split logs, the logs are 8' to 16' long.

Why are your prices lower than comparable high quality companies?

We buy direct from the manufacturers. Truckloads of lumber, OSB, shingles, windows, cabinets, stone, etc. are purchased to eliminate one markup in the buying process. The end result is a less expensive home for our customers.

How much less?

Not many people buy things without knowing what it is going to cost. Unlike most products, houses have tens of thousands of variables. These variables make it impossible to be exact on an estimate until you have all the contractor bids in, interior design selections made, etc.

We do pride ourselves on giving you cost examples and actual building costs to help you find the right size Golden Eagle Log Home for you budget. We encourage our salespeople and dealers to give customers prices. It is a Golden Eagle Log Homes policy.
