Gastineau Log Homes Review

Gastineau Log Homes is a designer and manufacturer of log homes and log cabin kits based in Central Missouri. Gastineau Log Homes primarily designs and manufactures Oak, Cypress, Pine, and Cedar Log Home kits, Gastineau Log Homes offers a line of modular, tiny home cabins called “Log Cabins 2 Go”. When buying a kit from Gastineau Log Homes, buyers have the option to choose between 3 different material kits, which range from the Log Wall Plus kit which includes the materials and plans for the exterior walls of your log home to the Deluxe Package which contains all of the materials and plans necessary for the structural shell of your log home in addition to the internal structure and framing as well as finishes such as doors, windows, and trim. Additionally, buyers have the option to design a fully custom home or simply modify an existing plan, though choosing a pre-engineered plan with no modifications may be cheaper and quicker. Alternatively, Gastineau Log Homes’ Log Cabins 2 Go are turn-key, log cabin tiny homes that are fully finished once they arrive on site. They offer 4 floor plans to choose from, all of which are under 400 square feet.

As a kit home manufacturer, Gastineau Log Homes only provides the materials necessary for building the structure of your home. Therefore, it is the responsibility of a local contractor to prepare the building site, lay a foundation, and assemble and finish the home. Additionally, it is worth noting that home kits do not include interior finishes such as cabinetry, appliances, or mechanical elements like plumbing or electrical wiring. When selecting a local contractor, Gastineau Log Homes has a nationwide network of builders that homeowners can access in order to ensure you are selecting a builder experience in log home kit assembly.

Strengths:

  • Produce both standard and custom log homes

  • Offer homes in a number of lumber types: Oak, Cypress, Cedar, and Pine

  • Centrally located in the US and can deliver nationwide

Reasons they might not be for you:

  • You are looking to work with the same company for the duration of your project including design, manufacturing, site work, and finishing

  • You are looking for a home with a contemporary style
