Ironically, most log homes with an average wall thickness of 8" or more have less risk of catching on fire in the first place. Flame-spread ratings & fire-resistence ratings are more favorable for log homes than standard wood-frame construction. Log homes should be insured at the same rate as any other home based on appraised value. Most of our clients work with local insurance brokers, who have access to a number of insurance agencies. Usually, reasonable rates are easily found using an insurance broker. Please contact us directly if you have any other questions..

We pay almost $300 dollars a month to have ours insured and it took months to find a company that would insure us 10 years ago!
