Tidewater Pro Build is a mid-size home remodeling company operating out of Chesapeake, VA. Our team does the majority of the leg work in the field and in so doing keeps subcontracting to a minimum. We provide flexible financing options.

"This whole experience went better than any other project we've had done. Caleb, the owner, spoke with me first and was willing to look at the bathroom the same day. I got a quote for just the shower and one for the entire bathroom. We decided to replace just the shower. I received weekly phone calls updating me on when they could start. They were able to start earlier than anticipated and they completed the work quickly and efficiently. I was trying to coordinate this from another state and they did a great job taking pictures and staying in touch. The shower looks amazing."

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.
