Hiawatha Log Homes Joins Log Homes Council

Our parents admonished us to choose our friends wisely because we would be judged by the company we keep. This still holds true today. This is why Hiawatha Log Homes has joined an exclusive association of the most prestigious log home manufacturers in North America.

The Log Homes Council, part of the National Association of Home Builders, is an association of the most reputable log home companies in the United States, Canada and beyond. Stringent membership requirements protect consumers during the buying and building process.

“When you work hard to achieve excellence, you naturally want to be associated with others that have the same high standards. That’s why we joined the Log Homes Council,” says Rick Rhoades, general manager at Hiawatha Log Homes. “We are a premier manufacturer of kiln-dried Northern Red Pine and Northern White Cedar log homes and we’ve been building dreams, one home at a time. Our high standards for quality and craftsmanship have been well received in the market place, as well as meeting the membership requirements of the Log Homes Council.”

While hundreds of companies offer log and timber homes, less than 60 companies worldwide qualify for membership in the Log Homes Council. “Our membership requirements ensure peace of mind for consumers when they are making their dream home a reality,” says Jan Koepsell, Chairman of the Log Homes Council and a log home manufacturer from Oostburg, WI. “Council members not only contribute to scientific studies that advance log building technologies, they also abide by a strict code of ethics, grade their logs and timbers to ensure quality materials, provide construction manuals to ensure homes are built correctly and provide free information to consumers.”
