Log Homes are for the most part a more expensive option. Some sources say that the cost can be up to 50% greater. Since they are more like a work of art than your usual frame home, log homes are usually made by someone who specializes in this craft so labor costs are often more. A lot of labor, time and craftsmanship goes into each one.

Are log homes cheaper than other homes?

Like traditional construction, there are many factors that contribute to the finished cost of a log home. One very important factor is the type of log used for construction. Hand crafted log homes are going to be considerably more expensive than milled log homes (the more uniform, Lincoln log look). A milled log home would be more closely comparable to traditional construction. The interior finishings, just as in traditional construction, will also greatly impact the cost of a log home. All in all, I would generally say the cost of the average log home, would be slightly greater than that of a traditionally constructed home.
