Custom Log Homes IMPORTANT - PLEASE NOTE In the past, Dovetail sold custom milled wood products as well as pre-engineered, super-insulated Energy Wise Systems structures. We offered material packages and on-site training on our construction systems in Ohio and surrounding states. Shell construction services for both building materials were available in central and southeast Ohio. In 2005, we phased out of this business. We no longer sell or build these types of structures. We are focused on providing high quality renewable energy systems and related services. THE INFORMATION PROVIDED BELOW ON LOG HOMES HAS BEEN LEFT HERE FOR HISTORICAL REFERENCE ONLY. Also, Energy Wise Systems, one of our previous building suppliers, discontinued operations in May 2007. |

Log homes can be a healthy and sustainable alternative to common frame housing. Modern construction materials are highly processed, toxic and shipped from far away. These products come with a variety of health and ecological impacts, making indoor air quality more important than ever. Our log homes eliminate the need for vinyl siding, house wrap, wall framing and sheathing, fiberglass insulation and drywall. The benefits of good indoor air quality and comfortable natural materials, coupled with the low cost of our logs, can make building a log home a great investment.
