About Us
There is a better home for families. A quality home whose life will far exceed 30 years of mortgage payments and provide sanctuary for your family from hurricanes, tornadoes, and other acts of nature. A home that will be:
- Durable and lasting
- Simple and quick to build
- Affordable
- Energy efficient
Traditional look with Superior Durability : A Solid Wood Home is perfect for an urban or rural setting. You can choose our primed and ready-to-paint lap-sided or our traditional log style, and get time-tested strength, durability and longevity. Nothing looks, feels, or smells better than a home built out of solid wood timbers.
Longevity : Solid Wood Homes will significantly outlast stick-built and vinyl-sided houses. There are homes constructed of solid wood like the ones still standing in America that are hundreds of years old and in Europe that date back over 800 years.
Simple and Quick to Build : A Solid Wood Home wall system is comprised of 6” x 8” solid wood timbers that are pre-stacked at our plant and raised on site. Pre-constructed walls can be assembled in approximately 4-6 hours and a home can be completely dried-in in two to three days.
Affordable : Solid Wood Homes are affordable due to the efficiencies achieved through pre-stacking at our plant. The finished, “move in” cost for a 1,100 to 1,400 square foot home with three bedrooms and two baths with a move-in cost that is less than $100,000.
Energy Efficient : The natural insulating properties of solid wood walls offer increased energy efficiency and lower heating and cooling costs. With eight-inch thick timber walls, additional insulation is not needed as the thermal mass properties of solid walls outperform insulated wood framed houses. A study was conducted by the National Bureau of Standards for the Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Department of Energy to determine the effects of thermal mass on a building’s energy consumption. The results show a savings of approximately 45 percent in heating costs and 24 percent in cooling costs for a solid wood home over a stick frame home.

Green Living : Solid Wood Homes utilize renewable resources and are energy efficient, thereby improving the way that homes and home building sites use energy and materials to reduce impacts on human health and the environment. The pine trees we cut for our homes come from sustainable forests that are harvested every 20-25 years. The Forestry Commission notes that growing trees consume more carbon dioxide and release more oxygen versus old mature trees.
