Dry-in
A log home is an heirloom you can pass on to the next generation. Log homes are sturdy and can withstand the harshest weather conditions. They are also highly versatile: you can build a log home as your main home, holiday getaway, or as a rental investment.
Log Homes to Fit Your Exact Needs
Our dry-in solution delivers everything your home needs to be protected from the elements. You can then contact your local contractor to finish the interior so that you have a beautiful home to enjoy.
Our dry-in package includes all the logs, windows, doors, exterior chinking, and staining. Once we are done, your home is ready as far as the shell is concerned. Safe in the knowledge that your home is protected from rain, sunlight, wind, and snow, you can get on with developing the interior at your leisure.
What Is a Dry-in Log Home?
Our dry-in package includes the shell of your new log home, including doors and windows. The meaning of dry-in is that the home is protected from the elements and the interior doesn’t get damaged by rain, wind, snow, or hail.
Our Frontier Log Homes assembly yard in Montrose, Colorado prepares the dry-in log packages. We then deliver them to your plot and assemble them there. The package includes the log kit to be assembled on your site along with roof framing, exterior doors and windows, exterior chinking and staining, log door and window bucks, log stairs, and log railing.

Why Should I Choose a Dry-In Log Home Package?
A dry-in log home package offers you the ultimate flexibility to construct your home at your own pace without worrying about the elements destroying the logs.
We assemble your log home, complete with doors and windows, and chink and stain the outside logs to insulate them from wind and rain.
Once this is done, you can then take as long as you need to finish the interior. You can choose your local contractor to build your interior walls, cabinets, bathrooms, and kitchen. You are not pressed for time because you know the shell of your home has been properly prepared and protected. This gives you ample time to find the exact kitchen you want, the bathroom tiles you dream of, and the wooden floors that perfectly match your log home.
A dry-in log home package from Frontier Log Homes gives you the freedom and flexibility to finish your home the way you want it.
Why Should I Choose a Log Home?
Log homes are timeless homes that help you live a lifestyle that’s closer to nature. They can be customized to match your individual needs and taste. You can also modify the insulation, roof type, and design, as well as the rafters to create a home that is as unique as you.
Enjoy a Long-Lasting Home
Log homes are built to last. We dry our logs naturally for at least 12 months and, as a result, they contain less than 12% moisture, so they won’t crack or settle.
Building with logs makes for a home that is sturdy and robust. Log homes withstand rain, hail, snow, and high winds with no damage. With the proper maintenance, they will be passed on to the next generation, to be enjoyed and loved.
Your Log Home Can Be a Smart Home
Log homes look rustic and organic from the outside but they can be as technologically advanced as any traditional home on the inside.
You can install smart technologies such as advanced security systems, cameras, and backup generators. Obviously, you can also have Wi-Fi and other connections to make sure you are connected to the world.
Your Log Home Can Be Off-Grid
The beauty of log homes is that they can be built in out-of-reach terrain where utilities are hard to get.
We can even adjust your log home to make it fully off-grid. You can have solar panels that can integrate with your shingles for minimum visual interference. You can also connect a solar-powered pump to have running water throughout your home.
Many customers have turned to log homes for plots that don’t have quick or easy utility access—and they haven’t regretted it.
Log Homes Display Wood Artistry
A lot of wood artistry goes into a log home. Shaping the logs, carving railings, and creating beautiful roofs and other log parts require superb craftsmanship and dedication to the art of wood carving.
Our crews of carpenters, wood designers, floor designers, and log craftsmen love their craft. They pay attention to detail and deliver a home that is unique and astonishing to look at.
The Log Home Lifestyle
There is something inherently natural to living in a log home. The log home lifestyle brings you closer to nature and helps you develop an outlook on life that is more relaxed and better linked to the outside environment. Families with children often appreciate such living particularly so because it creates memories and connections to the surrounding nature.
