Build. Restore. Create.
From one-of-a-kind handcrafted log homes to repairs, restoration, rebuilds, and custom timber projects, Caribou brings decades of log-building knowledge to every project we touch.
Caribou Log Homes is known for handcrafted Swedish cope log construction, but our work does not stop with new homes.
We also help homeowners repair, restore, rebuild, modify, and expand existing log structures. And when a project calls for something beyond a house, our craftsmen can bring the same skill to custom log and timber features.
Whether you are starting from bare ground or trying to give an existing log structure new life, the goal is the same: build it correctly, respect the material, and create something made to last.
Log Home Building and Restoration, From the Ground Up
Every project is different. Some begin with a floor plan and a piece of land. Others begin with a home that needs repair, restoration, or a fresh start.
New Handcrafted Log Homes
Custom Swedish cope log homes built around your land, lifestyle, views, and long-term plans. Start with one of our floor plans or create something entirely your own.
Rebuilds & Restoration
When an existing log home has been damaged, neglected, altered poorly, or simply needs new life, we can help evaluate the structure and develop a path toward rebuilding or restoring it properly.
Log Home Repairs
From damaged or deteriorated logs to structural corrections and problem areas around openings, connections, and exterior exposure, we approach repairs with an understanding of how log structures actually move and perform.
Custom Log & Timber Projects
Pergolas, driveway arches, pavilions, outdoor structures, furniture, and other custom log or timber pieces can all receive the same handcrafted attention as a full home.
Build a Log Home That Belongs on Your Land
A handcrafted home should not feel like a generic plan dropped onto a property.
We design and build around the land itself — its views, slope, access, climate, snow conditions, orientation, and the way you want to live there.

Start With a Plan — Not a Limitation
Our floor plans are starting points. Bedrooms, square footage, windows, garages, porches, rooflines, and room layouts can all be adapted before engineering and construction begin.
The goal is not simply to choose a house. It is to create the right house for the place where you are building it.

Log homes are durable, but age, water, structural changes, weather exposure, and poor previous work can all create problems over time.
The right repair begins with understanding what the logs and structure are actually doing — not simply covering up what is visible.
Repair
Address damaged logs, problem areas, structural issues, deterioration, or other localized concerns while preserving as much of the original structure as possible.
Restore
Bring older or neglected log structures back toward the craftsmanship, appearance, and performance they were intended to have.
Rebuild
When damage is too extensive for a simple repair, we can help rebuild affected portions — or help create a new structure informed by what came before.
We Can Work With Your Insurance Process
When a log home is damaged by fire, weather, accident, or another covered event, the repair process can involve more than simply hiring a contractor.
Caribou can work with homeowners and their insurance process to help define the log-home repair or rebuilding work that needs to be completed.
Because log construction is specialized, having a builder who understands handcrafted log structures can make an important difference when determining how the home should be repaired or rebuilt.
Custom Log & Timberwork
Not every project needs four walls and a roof. If it can benefit from the character of natural logs and handcrafted timber, we want to hear about it.
Pergolas
Handcrafted outdoor structures with natural scale and character.
Driveway Arches
Statement entrances crafted from logs or heavy timber.
Pavilions
Open-air gathering spaces built with the same attention as a home.
Furniture & More
Custom log or timber pieces designed for the property and the people using them.
Start With the Project in Front of Us
A new home, a damaged wall, an aging cabin, and a custom pavilion are very different projects.
We start by understanding what you have, what you want, and what the structure or site requires before deciding how the work should proceed.
Tell Us What You’re Working With
Share the property, structure, problem, damage, idea, or project you have in mind.
Determine the Right Path
We look at what the project needs structurally, practically, and aesthetically.
Build It With Craftsmanship
Whether the job is large or small, the goal is work that looks intentional and performs the way it should.
Log Work Requires Log-Home Experience
Handcrafted Knowledge
We work with natural logs as individual structural materials, not interchangeable factory components.
Built Around the Material
Wood moves, settles, weathers, and ages. Good log construction respects those realities instead of fighting them.
One Standard of Craftsmanship
Whether we are building a full home or repairing part of an existing one, the work should feel like it belongs there.
