Welcome
Nestled in the beautiful Rocky Mountains of western Colorado, we at Rocky Mountain Log homes understand how special it is live in a log home. We know that log home living is more than just a home… It is a lifestyle. We can help you every step of the way beginning with the planning and designing of your log home, assisting you with your budget, taking delivery of your home and helping you stack your first course of logs, to adding the finishing touches. We can also put you in contact with builders and other construction specialists to ensure your home is built to meet industry standards.
Is Green Building important to you?
If so, building a log home is a perfect choice! Kuhn’s Brothers is an environmentally conscious company that is an active advocate for Green Building. Did you know that log homes consume less energy? With the benefits of thermal mass and heat retention capacity that solid log construction provides, your heating and cooling costs will be considerably less than that of conventional construction. Log homes have less construction waste during building and less construction supplies to buy. This is accomplished by eliminating the need for building material layers. We all like helping the environment for future generations and saving money is an added bonus! Take a look at this article in the Jan/Feb 08 issue of LiveBetter Magazine for more information on green building with logs.
Are you concerned with the maintenance of a log home?
Kuhn’s Brothers is one of the only log home manufacturers that provides a dimensionally stable or non-settling building package. For the past 20 plus years KBLH has become recognized as the pioneer of the highest quality kiln dried log homes. When most everyone else in the industry said “you can’t kiln dry a large wood timber” Kuhn’s Bros. took it upon themselves to actually prove that it could be, and should be done if you’re going to produce a non-settling log wall system. KBLH went one step further and made the unprecedented move to guarantee the average moisture content in writing! In addition to proper kiln drying providing a stable building material it also sanitizes the logs killing mold, fungi (which causes wood decay), plus any insects, their eggs or larvae. It also crystallizes the pitch in the wood reducing the risk of it seeping to the surface later. Proper kiln drying allows you to immediately apply interior and exterior finishes providing protection, also applications absorb deeper and last longer. Lastly Kuhn’s Bros. has maintenance agreements available at various levels to suit your needs.
These are just a couple of the main benefits of building with log, so why don’t you contact us so we can share the rest with you, and help you start planning your dream!
