The term “Log Package” can mean many things, depending on which log home company you speak with. Some offer a la carte items. Others offer more amenities. Here at Montana Custom Log Homes, Inc., we strive to ensure that we offer every customer the most complete, easily understood Log package available.

It’s quite a list, and we’d love to tell you why we are so meticulous about ensuring everything is perfect! The full-length logs are so important because our packages have NO BUTT JOINTS, ever! Butt joints can cause openings and allow bugs and weather to enter your home, and the walls are not as strong because the logs are broken up with butt joints. Our walls are the strongest and are considered the most beautiful because there are NO GAP JOINTS in the logs anywhere – just beautiful wood.
Our milled logs have a groove machined into them inside the Swedish cope so that the insulation strip fits snugly and ensures that any air seepage is minimized to the maximum amount possible. The lag bolts and washers aid in this, and the logs are snugged together for the tightest fit. So the combination of dry full-length logs, a Swedish cope, and an insulation strip combined with lagging creates the tightest, best-fitting log home on the market today. So whether you live where it’s hot or where it gets cold, you will enjoy a log home that keeps you comfortable no matter the weather!
