Interior

• Kitchen Remodeling
  Owners have complete control over their finish selections which can affect the end price of the home. If you engage a “cost plus†builder, should provide a detailed line item budget to work from. The more decisions made prior to that budget for your bank financing the more accurate you end cost will be. Otherwise, most builders will give “allotments†on items like flooring, lighting, cabinetry for items not yet finalized at bank budget states.
• Bathroom Remodeling
• Flooring
  You may wish to hire a local builder to get the home to dry-in, and put your sweat equity into the non-inspection items like paint, tile and flooring, but still use a qualified builder for the structure. You will need to negotiate with a contractor your involvement in the home building process due to liability and permitting.
• Door Installation/Replacement
  Reduces on-site labor cost- The Colorado Resort communities have a scarcity of skilled tradesmen and framers. Colorado construction labor rates can run $40-$55/hour. Winter weather conditions can slow production on-site framing. SIPs Timber combination gives you the beauty of exposed beams, with a faster build, saving as much as 6-8 weeks of on-site labor vs. a typical on-site stick frame project. Your SIPs walls are both the structural component AND the insulation for your EXTERIOR walls and ROOF system, eliminating steps. Each SIPS panel is cut precisely OFF-SITE with windows and doors already precision cut.

Landscaping and Fencing

• Landscaping
• Tree Removal
  Costs vary so greatly from jurisdiction and we need to know more about your building site to give a true idea. A typical Turn-Key Home in the Ski Resort communities of Colorado can range from $350-$500 per square foot for everything under roof. Factors affecting that range: Log species and diameter, interior finish selections, complexity of roof system, development cost of the lot including permits, fees, well, septic, tree removal, retaining walls, utilities, driveway access and excavation.

General

• Carpentry
  This system-built method allows us to meet the needs of floorplans not perfectly suited for a full log home. In most cases it can lower cost compared to log and timber frame as more components are included with the packages, reduces local on-site labor needs (which can exceed $50/hour for skilled carpentry in the ski resort communities of Colorado).
• Insulation
  Reduce On-Site Waste - With most components pre-cut in a controlled environment, less on-site waste for your local the land fill. No insulation waste generated on-site. Typically reduces 4-5 dumpster pulls per jobsite which saves thousands in fees but also better for our high country environment.Â
• Masonry
  This depends on what you want. We can drywall the entire interior like ANY Conventionally built stick frame home. Or we can order extra Whisper Creek Log Homes half log or Appalachian siding for as few or as many interior walls you like to give the illusion of full log exterior walls. We can put locally beetle pine tongue and groove on your ceilings. We can also use a variety of stone masonry or weathered barn wood as an interior wall covering. The beauty of these homes is each room can have its own character.
