10 Great Reasons

To Buy A Log Home

From Gabriel Builders in NC

1. CRAFTSMANSHIP — Each of our log homes is unique, with hand-crafted custom cabinetry, stonework, beams and posts. From the cathedral ceilings to the plank floors, we take the time & extra care required to make sure our finish work is the best possible.

2. RETURN ON INVESTMENT — Our log homes appraise higher than a conventional home because of our commitment to quality construction, craftsmanship, and attention to details.

3. BEAUTY THAT’S MORE THAN SKIN DEEP — Log homes are naturally gorgeous on the exterior, but step into a Gabriel Builders log home and you’ll also find a stunning interior, loaded with charm. You’ll see hand-worked character log posts & beams, hand-laid native stone fireplaces, stairways & railings crafted from heavy timbers & materials varying from iron to pine. Our kitchens are chef-designed with granite countertops and cabinetry built on site and made for entertaining. We hand-brush all our varnish & paints for a finish you’ll want to run your hand over.

4. DURABILITY — Logs last & last… & last. A log home is an heirloom, and Gabriel Builders uses the best log stains and caulks to help keep your log home looking its best. Large overhangs & 12-foot-deep covered porches protect the homes from sun & weather.

5. NESTING WITH NATURE — Our log homes fit perfectly in their natural settings, blending with the landscape, the colors of nature, & the topography. A Gabriel Builders log home enhances its surroundings and the neighbor’s too.

6. ENERGY EFFICIENCY — Gabriel Builders seals our homes properly between the foundation & logs, between each log, & where logs meet the roof. We insulate our log homes better than conventional homes and that means money saved in energy costs. Log homes have what’s known as “thermal mass”, a property of the logs which allows the walls to collect & store energy during the day & then radiate it into your home, keeping it comfortable all year long, and making it an inviting space to live in.

7. YOU’RE “CONNECTED” — Every room in our log homes is wired for phone and TV (satellite or cable). Even if this is your vacation home, you want to be in touch with family & the world.

8. SIMPLE “INSPECTION STROLL” — No one wants a high-maintenance home. You can easily walk around a Gabriel Builders log home and do a visual inspection for potential problems like insects or mildew. Conventional homes can hide insect infestation & mold inside the exterior wall cavities, creating damage. At Gabriel Builders, we have all our homes treated professionally for insects, and our log stains are specially formulated to repel moisture & mildew for years to come.

9. BEING GREEN IS EASY WITH A LOG HOME — When you build with a renewable resource like logs, you’re building “earth friendly”. And our energy efficient log homes not only save you money on energy bills, you’ll use less electric power and gas, and that’s as green as it gets!

10. PEACEFUL, EASY FEELINGS — Thanks to the natural thermal mass property of logs, which not only helps with energy efficiency but also deadens sound, your log home will be a quiet place to relax. At Gabriel Builders we build “Peace of Mind” into every log home. SO, WELCOME HOME…
