Scheduling the construction of your home

There are many steps in building a log home. We want to ensure that the home you desire is built to your specifications. Listed below are the steps taken in ensuring customer satisfaction and quality construction, when you choose Monkton Manor Specialties, Inc.

An initial meeting is scheduled to go over different floor plans and personalize your log home design. After an evaluation of your specifications an estimate is made and provided to you at no cost. The log home package is then ordered and initial plans are drawn. After you review the plans and make any changes the final plans are drawn and the construction will begin.

After the planning stages of choosing a style home, the layout of the floor plans, interior decor, and choosing a lot, we will begin construction using the following schedule.
