"We hired Basement Kings to renovate our primary bath, a guest Bath, and our laundry room, and to rebuild our living room fireplace and do some minor upgrades to an outdoor porch. My husband and I could not be more impressed with Basement Kings and are very pleased with their work. I have worked with many contractors (for projects on my own home and for clients in my prior work), and BCM is head and shoulders above any I've worked with before. Salar was great at listening to and understanding every detail of our project and our needs, and he always let us know when to expect workers and what they would be doing. And not only do his workers show up when he says they will, but they also deliver high quality work. They are careful, precise, neat, professional, and friendly. And on top of all that, they completed the project ahead of schedule. It was a pleasure to work with them and we would trust them again with any renovation we have. Do not hesitate to call them for your project!"

Besides the photos and reviews you can find here on Angie's list, you can also see my portfolio page on Facebook under T Design and Remodeling, and find more customer reviews at Home Advisor.
"Ryan and associates did a GREAT job with my bathroom. I had an old jacuzzi tub removed, had them built a new shower where the tub was and put in a built in linen close in where the previous smaller shower stood. They removed and replaced the old tile, removed the previous "builder's mirror" and replaced the mirror and lights. It looks absolutely beautiful and I feel like I am entering a luxury hotel bathroom whenever I walk into it. I would absolutely hire Ryan again for any other projects. The prices were reasonable and the time spend to do quality work was great!!"

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.
