1.      Why buy from an experienced Log Home company?

Ron Wolfe has been in the Log Home industry for 36 years. Ron Wolfe has been building with logs since 1972. He is a Licensed General Contractor in NC. Intermediate Building Classification: License #13820.

Wholesale Log Homes prides itself in educating consumers by respectfully and logically explaining the process of purchasing top quality building materials to build a log home. We don’t believe that the luster and allure of a decorated model home warrants the kind of markup you will pay when you can easily locate the same or better materials that are found in a kit/package -  by yourself or with your builder. Eliminate the inflated "kit" pricing. Buy it yourself and $ave. There is nothing you can not do that a kit seller does!  

The service from Ron is prompt and personal. Call with any and all questions regarding the materials or construction. Ron will help you to understand what you are buying; Log Homes Council grade stamped logs with a Grade Certificate for you and your building inspections office, to assure quality - at WHOLESALE pricing.

2.      Why should I buy the log products separately instead of purchasing a log home KIT?

If quality and price are important to you, then I ask you to consider thinking “outside the Kit” and ordering the logs and log materials needed for your log home, direct, WHOLESALE. All logs are LHC grade stamped and precisely milled. All kiln dried logs and kiln dried materials are covered in breathable, waterproof lumber wraps to keep products dry, protected and clean. ALL LOG ORDERS ARE MILLED TO SPECIFIC ORDER. NO LOGS ARE SITTING AROUND, OLD OR DISCOLORED.  LOGS FIT TOGETHER PROPERLY AND STACK PLUMB. LOGS ARE UNIFORM IN SIZE, COLOR - BRIGHT, WHITE and CLEAN. Besides the best log quality, Wholesale Log Homes provides prices for its products that don’t include any extra markup as opposed to the outrageous markups of kit sellers, package sellers, auction gimmicks, specials, overstock package sales of logs that are not even milled yet - so how can they be over-stock? Once again, I ask you to consider the games, mark-ups and gimmicks used to sell KITS.

3.      ARE ALL LOGS THE SAME?   NO!

4.      The model homes of kitsellers seem so appealing. Why shouldn’t I believe their “pitch?”

“Kitsellers” present buyers with models and display homes whose interiors are elaborately decorated. They showcase upgraded interiors that include granite counter tops, stone fireplaces and other “special” items that serve to entice and romance buyers and distract you from why you're there - to look at the logs!  Basically selling an emotion!  What happens to buyers all too often in these situations is they end up buying a “kit/package” for what they see and pay grossly inflated prices. The common practice can be up to 300% mark-ups over cost for some building components that can and should be purchased locally, directly from local suppliers and distributors at a fraction of the Kit price. Wholesale Log Homes prides itself in trying to educate consumers by respectfully and logically explaining the process of purchasing top quality building materials to build a log home. We don’t believe that the luster and allure of a decorated model home warrants the kind of markup you will pay for when you can easily locate the same or better materials that are found in a kit/package, all by yourself. Please think logically when making a decision of this importance and expense. Do not buy a KIT based on emotion. ALL YOU'RE BUYING ARE LOGS AND TIMBERS. AS NOTED - MAKE A LOGICAL DECISION ON PURCHASING LUMBER COMPONENTS ------ NEVER AN EMOTIONAL DECISION.

Buying the “whole package” based on a display or model home in essence is an emotional decision and a costly mistake. You have a choice. Please think carefully when making a decision of this importance and expense.

Buying an all inclusive kit with all components delivered all at once, usually with some promotion attached to it, comes with more than a big price tag. There is that sense of urgency to buy NOW. It’s an emotional sale. Please think calmly and intelligently about the individual building components, the quality of the products you want and will need for your home, the choice of where to buy them and what to pay for them is yours.

Log home kit selling is a very sophisticated business with many, many hands involved in the package. Ask yourself,  “Can I determine what to buy for myself and do that and or get help from a friend or contractor?” 

Take your time, forget the sense of urgency and pressure put on you to buy the whole “pretty picture” and to buy it now! List the components you want for your home. Do a little research on price and locations of local distributors that are willing to deliver on your schedule and time frame. Put aside the pressure to rush into a decision to buy now at a “special price”. Think carefully about your options and choices. Select the quality and grade of building components YOU want. Building products are sold anywhere and everywhere.  Specials are gimmicks, pressure and hype!

Bear in mind - the savings of buying your log home materials here may enable you to have higher quality windows, doors and many other custom touches for your home!

Respect yourself. Many kitsellers don't! They just want your money. 

5.      Are kits easier or more economical to construct?

No!  You or the building contractor that you choose in your area will know exactly how to order your building materials locally without any problem or inflated costs to you. In a standard stick-framed home, the contractor orders all the items separately and has them delivered at the appropriate times. You or he can order the logs from us just as he would have ordered the framing materials for a stick-framed home. The time it may take to order the items you pick out will still be more economical than the enormous markup of the kit. I ask you to simply compare the savings.    

6.      What problems can occur from having the whole kit delivered at once?

A licensed building contractor building a stick frame home would never have all the windows, doors, roofing, and other materials delivered on the first day. Why should you? In addition, why should you pay more than necessary for these materials? Kits are an overpriced collection of store bought building products resold at unreal prices. If you think we're wrong - price it out for yourself and you'll be stunned on the money you'll $ave instead of an all-inclusive package. If we're wrong - call Ron and tell him so.  

Buyers of kits take delivery of the entire package on day one. That means all the building matrials for the project arrive at once, posing huge storage problems and logistical nightmares. Many are unprepared and ill equipped to deal with this. Perhaps a more timed and spaced delivery of items to be used in the project is a more prudent and certainly more cost effective measure. First of all starting with GRADE STAMPED logs from us and all other building materials can and should be purchased locally at a price you want,  the quality you want and the brand you want, plus these products can be delivered when you want. No pressure to take everything all at once and certainly no needless mark-up for packaging them in a kit. If you have a  product you bought locally arrive damaged, the simplicity of having that replaced is much greater than a product delivered to you from 4 states away - and the difficulty of returns, repairs, reimbursements is not a pretty picture.

Do you realize how large a tractor trailer is? Will that truck make it down or up your narrow, curvy driveway? Will there be enough room to store all that's delivered in a kit?
