On Staff Employees. No Subs. Project Pricing To Reflect The Work To Be Performed. Additional Contact: Paula Fiedler
"Please do not use this company. They are not friendly or willing to communicate. They don't care about customer service. The owner refused to discuss my issue with me. On my rental property, we had issues with outlets. My renter said they checked the breaker panel and nothing was tripped. Being that anything else is above my knowledge base, I called Fielder Electric to come out to help trouble shoot, come to find out it was indeed just a tripped breaker. They spent all of 3 minutes in my house to simply flip a switch and charged me $85 to come out there (which is fine and fair to cover the trip), but they refused to have a discussion about reducing the additional $85 full hour service charge, which totaled $170 all in, for them to flip a switch. I feel like I got robbed. There was no sympathy on the situation and basically got fully paid to do basically no work. They didn't care if they were there for only 1 minute and did no work at all. I was told "it is what it is," by the secretary and I was told the owner refused to speak or allow me to email with him. I would go with any other electrician that is willing to communicate and work with their customers and at least be heard."

Guest house building services FAQs
In terms of construction, a log home and a stick‑built house often cost about the same. For example, a 1,500‑square‑foot cabin runs roughly $187,500 to $262,500. The price differences come from design choices and labor. Quality logs, complex rooflines, and specialty finishes add up, while a simple plan using local materials keeps costs close to those of a conventional build. Understanding these variables helps you decide whether a log structure meets both your style and budget.
Modern prefab kits streamline the build, but the upgraded finishes and design features mean they sit at the upper end of cabin pricing. You’re paying for precision cuts, insulated panels, and shorter build times, all of which raise the per‑square‑foot cost. While kits can still save on labor, expect the total price to fall within the higher range compared to a basic shell, especially if you choose premium add-ons or request design tweaks.
In many markets, building is the more budget‑friendly option. Purchasing a finished cabin means paying for someone else’s upgrades, profit margin, and often a prime‑location markup. When you build, you control the site, layout, and materials, allowing you to adjust costs as needed. Owners also tend to see a more substantial return on investment (ROI) at resale, particularly when the cabin is situated on ample land. Be sure to factor in land, permits, and any unexpected site work costs before making a decision.
The timeline for building a cabin depends on the design and site conditions. A prefab kit assembled on a prepared lot can be ready in a few weeks. A custom build on raw land—with clearing, utilities, and bespoke details—usually runs eight to nine months. Weather, material lead times, and permit approvals can extend the schedule, so budget for extra time when planning. Working with an experienced builder who lines up subcontractors early helps keep the project on track.
As cabins grow, the per‑square‑foot rate often stays steady, but the overall bill rises quickly. A compact footprint still needs a foundation, roof, and systems, so smaller cabins can feel more expensive per square foot than larger builds. Larger cabins, meanwhile, consume far more material, so even at $125 to $175 per square foot, the total cost rises quickly. Pinpoint your must‑have square footage before signing off on final plans.
Log cabins require more maintenance than conventional houses. Expect to inspect the exterior annually, clean and reseal it every three to five years, and address moisture issues promptly. The payoff for that extra care is longevity and character, but if you skip routine maintenance, small problems—like sun‑bleached logs or minor leaks—can turn into costly repairs. Budget both time and money for preservation to keep the cabin looking sharp and structurally sound.
