What's included in your log home package
Estemerwalt Log Homes offers one of the most comprehensive log home packages in the industry. Our standard package includes the materials needed to create a dried-in shell, while customized package options can be tailored to fit your project requirements.
When you choose Estemerwalt, you can move forward with confidence knowing the essential components of your home have been carefully considered.
Log styles, profiles and sizes
Estemerwalt manufactures a variety of log profiles and sizes to suit different architectural styles and personal preferences.
Milled D-Logs
The most popular choice for Estemerwalt homes, our D-logs pair a flat interior wall with the classic rounded log exterior. The flat inside face makes it simple to hang cabinets, artwork, and trim, while the outside keeps the traditional log home look. Available in 6×8, 8×6, 8×8, and 10×10 profiles, each log features a double tongue and groove sealing system designed for a secure, weather-tight fit.
Round Logs
For timeless log cabin character, our full-round logs are milled with rounded faces inside and out. Cut from kiln-dried Eastern White Pine in 10 inch and 12 inch profiles, they stack with the same precision tongue and groove system as our D-logs. The result is the handcrafted warmth of a traditional round-log home with the consistent fit of a milled log.
Half-Log Profiles
Want the log home look without full-log construction? Our half-log siding profiles are milled to match every log style we manufacture, so garages, barns, outbuildings, and stick-built additions can blend seamlessly with your home. Half-log siding is also a popular way to give an existing conventional structure the appearance of a true log home.
Looking for something different? Give us a call to discuss the exact profile you have in mind. We’re developing new profiles and styles all the time. There’s a good chance we can manufacture what you’re looking for. And because every profile starts at our own sawmill, you can explore the full range of logs, siding, paneling, and specialty wood products at the Estemerwalt Lumber site.
Why We Build With Eastern White Pine
The quality of a log home starts with the materials used to build it. Estemerwalt homes are manufactured with Eastern White Pine, a versatile species that has long been used for log homes and other wood construction throughout Pennsylvania and the Northeast.
Eastern White Pine provides the natural warmth and character homeowners expect from a traditional log home while also working well with the precision-milling process used at our Honesdale, Pennsylvania sawmill. Because Estemerwalt operates its own sawmill and manufacturing facility, our team maintains control over much of the process that turns raw timber into the logs, siding, timbers, tongue and groove paneling, and other wood components included in our homes.
Our log walls are graded and inspected to Timber Products Inspection (TPI) standards for quality, consistency, and structural integrity. Logs are precision milled into the profiles required for each home, including our popular D-log and full-round options.
For homeowners comparing log home builders in Pennsylvania, this in-house manufacturing capability is an important distinction. Estemerwalt is not simply sourcing a generic log package from another manufacturer. Our team has direct involvement in the materials, milling, design, and manufacturing of the custom log home packages we provide.
