"I recently worked with Ariel from Full Service and he helped us remodel my entire house over the course of nearly a year. I cannot speak highly enough about the quality of work and level of professionalism he demonstrated throughout the project. When learning for a contractor, we looked over what felt like hundreds of reviews and options, and narrowed down our search to around 5 general contractors. Ariel was the only contractor who really sat down with us to understand our vision and goals for our home renovation. Ariel was also the only person who let us come to two different projects he was working on, and speak to the home owners directly! One of the key strengths of Ariel was his exceptional problem-solving ability. No matter what challenges arose during the remodel, he was always able to quickly identify issues and come up with creative solutions that were both effective and efficient. His ability to think creatively and make sure we were happy with whatever the solution was, was truly impressive, appreciative and helped keep the project on track. Another standout quality of Ariel was his critical thinking skills. He was able to evaluate various options and make informed decisions that were in my best interest. I appreciated his ability to consider multiple perspectives and weigh the pros and cons of each decision, which helped ensure that the remodel was completed on time and within budget. Furthermore, Ariel's knowledge and expertise in design was an invaluable resource throughout the project. He was able to provide expert guidance on everything from the layout of the space to the selection of materials and finishes. His insights and suggestions helped me create a cohesive and stylish look throughout my newly remodeled home that I am absolutely thrilled with. In addition to his problem-solving ability, critical thinking skills, and design expertise, Ariel was also highly reliable and communicative. He kept me informed about the progress of the project at all times and was always available to answer any questions I had. His professionalism and dedication to the project made the entire process much smoother and stress-free for me. Overall, I would highly recommend Ariel to anyone looking for a skilled and reliable contractor for their home renovation project. His ability to problem-solve, think critically, and help with design make him an exceptional asset to any construction project. I could not be happier with the work he did on my home and would not hesitate to work with him again in the future."

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.
