We are an interior remodeling company specializing in kitchens and bathrooms. We have many years of personal experience providing Pittsburgh residents with quality products and installation. We are a family based business, which means our employees are dedicated to doing quality work in a timely fashion at very competitive prices. We are licensed with the state as HRC #037880. Fully insured. PLEASE EMAIL ME DIRECTLY: Carmen.bnq@verizon.net

"We hired Carmen to finish our basement in our house and we gave him just skeleton ideas of what we wanted. I'm glad we let him run with it because we couldn't be happier. Carmen is incredibly professional, talented and creative. I think what's not often talked about with contractors is how they treat their clients and Carmen is the most personable guy we've ever worked with. He was always cognizant of us working from home and was always accessible for questions both before, during and now after the job. We look forward to him doing our master bath next. We wouldn't hire anyone else to do kitchen, bath or basement work. Can't say much other than the completed job is above and beyond what we expected!"

We offer quality and affordable general remodeling services.

"Kevin and his team did an outstanding job restoring our basement bathroom. From start to finish, they were incredibly professional, careful, and thorough. I was particularly concerned about moisture getting into the tub area, and Kevin’s team went above and beyond to find the right set of tub and walls to fit our basement. They even had to return one set because it didn’t fit, and I was really impressed with their ability to pivot and ensure we had the best solution. Communication was excellent throughout the project. Kevin was very proactive, mostly texting us each day to let us know when to expect them and being flexible if I had traffic issues. They worked diligently every day over two weeks to complete the restoration, and their attention to detail really showed in the final result. I’m honestly surprised by how much I love the basement bathroom now! I didn’t think I would care much about it since it’s in the basement, but the quality of work has truly transformed the space. Overall, we couldn’t be happier with the work Kevin and his team did. They took the time to explain our options, addressed all of our concerns, and delivered a beautifully restored bathroom that exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend!"

We are a family owned and operated business since 1988. You will receive personal one on one attention directly with the owner. We are a design build company that can take you through every step of your project with the utmost professionalism and detail. We always encourage communication as we schedule weekly meetings throughout your project. We do this so the project stays on track and all details are given our full attention.

"I am so happy that we found Krain Construction. Brian and his crew really brought our vision to life. We wanted to build 2 stories on top of an already existing foundation that only had a roof on it. We had a hard time finding someone to do it but Brian had no hesitation. He drew up a floor plan and we loved it. His crew built the new frame for our house, did the siding, doors, windows, decks, gutters, hvac. My husband and I are going to do the interior part of the house. If we had any issues we could easily text Brian and he would resolve them quickly. If we had any last minute changes, he would work with us. Very personable and professional. If we ever needed anything else done I would use them again and I would recommend to anyone needing a remodel. I will post some pictures of how our house started and how it is now that they’re done."

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.
