What is the difference between a log home builder and a log home finish contractor?

A log home builder is a handcrafter or manufacturer that specializes in the assembly of all the log and timber components. The log walls, log roof support system, log porch supports, log staircases, etc. The log home builder is responsible for log selection and the surface preparation of the logs, like hand peeling or milling the logs smooth. In the case of a hand crafted log home, it would first be built in a log assembly yard then trucked and reassembled at the home site. After reassembly, the log home builder will cut and keyway the door and window openings and cut wall slots. A log home finish contractor is the general contractor of the project.
