 In
1990, I had the desire to live in a log home and began the process
of buying a log kit. With the purchase of the log kit, I was given
the promise of a builder who would build it into my dream home. That
builder never came. Out of necessity and through perseverance, I
took the log kit and built my home myself. My effort received
attention from many individuals who were having the same problem
getting their log kits built into homes, and they began asking for
my help.
This experience, along with my love
for the log home style, led me to selling log home kits for a major
log company. I wanted to provide both home materials and the
construction necessary to get the home built. I found success in
selling their log home kits for the log home company, but I was very
disheartened with the problems that would arise between the
homeowner who had purchased the kit and the log home company, and as
the builder, I was in the middle. I knew there had to be a better
way.
I realized that you do not go to an
automobile dealer, buy a car kit, have it shipped to your home in
crates, with the promise of a good mechanic to put it together. So
why would you buy a log home in the same manner?
A homeowner needed a place where
they could buy a completed log home, not just a log home kit.
With that realization Old Hickory
Log Homes & Construction was born. Located in the heart of
“Nascar Race Country” at Lake Norman, we have become the premier Log
Home builder for this area. We offer turn-key, custom log homes with
the simplicity of stick built homes. The response to our concept of
working with one company that provides both log home materials and
labor, has been phenomenal. Being able to provide a completed log
home for hundreds of deserving homeowners over the years has given
me great satisfaction.
The success of Old Hickory Log
Homes and Construction, Inc. has led me to another crossroads in my
log home business. I have taken our company to a higher level of log
craftsmanship, and we provide homes that are unique and challenging
to build. This has meant forsaking the large quantity of homes we
were building and replacing it with greater quality craftsmanship
ability. Our own dedicated, company trained craftsmen build log
homes of outstanding quality. Each new encounter with a client and
their unique home ideas, gives us an exciting challenge to
accomplish what they may have thought was impossible. And we do it
with great pride.
