Step 1: Preparation of the logs

The process begins well before the construction site. The logs, often pine, cedar or spruce, are selected, debarked, dried, then cut according to architectural plans. Each part is numbered to facilitate assembly on the construction site.

Step 2: Assembling the structure

Once the foundation is in place, log home builders begin constructing the structure. The logs are stacked horizontally, with specific notches and notches (such as dovetail or saddle notch) to ensure fit and stability.

Step 3: Installing the roof frame

The roof frame is installed once the walls are finished. It can be of the traditional farmhouse type or exposed beams, depending on the style chosen. This framework must support heavy snow loads, particularly in wooded regions of Quebec such as Val-des-Monts.

Step 4: Adjustments and Calibration

Because wood is a living material, adjustments are often necessary during and after installation. Good site management and experience in building log homes allow you to anticipate these natural movements of the wood.

In short, log home framing is not just about structure: it is an art. Working with a qualified log contractor guarantees a durable, solid construction that is true to the spirit of solid log homes.
