Log Homes Ideal Option for Gulf Coast Reconstruction; Southland Log Homes Develops Tailored Packages for Hurricane-Damaged Region
Jan. 18, 2006--Southland Log Homes has announced six new home designs created specifically for those who suffered irreparable damage to their residences in the hurricane-ravaged Gulf Coast region. Company offices in Baton Rouge, La. and Jackson, Miss. are facilitating orders for locals needing to rebuild.
Each new design is quick to construct because the package includes building materials now difficult to acquire in the affected area. Like all Southland homes, these models are less costly to build than brick and most shingle or aluminum-siding homes, and will stand strong in the face of future storms.
"In the weeks following hurricanes Katrina and Rita, Southland recognized that building materials would be extremely scarce, yet people would need to rebuild quickly with full confidence in the quality," said George M. Miller, President of Southland Log Homes. "That's why we immediately put together a team to develop home packages that are affordably priced and include supplemental building supplies -- like drywall and hardware -- that normally do not come with a Southland design."
The six home designs -- the Bay Minette, the Biloxi, the Dauphin Island, the Lafayette, the Meraux, and the Moss Point -- range in size from 1,335 to 2,217 square feet and cost $43,000 to $71,000. Standard Southland home designs, which do not include supplemental materials and offer a wider variety of floor plans, are also highly affordable at $40,000 to $80,000 per package.
Inclusion of the supplemental materials not only makes the new designs an excellent value, it greatly simplifies the construction process in an area where labor and material costs have skyrocketed. In addition to the standard package materials included in every Southland Log Home, these new designs will include drywall for inside walls and ceilings, interior doors, cabinets, shingles, and hardware.
While a typical home can take months to years to construct, a Southland Log Home can usually be built in three-to-six weeks, often by the homeowners themselves. Southland guarantees a delivery date of home packages just 60 days from the date of order. The company also provides its customers with an extensive list of qualified area builders and sub-contractors to either complete or assist with construction.
Tina and Robert McGinty of Gulfport, Mississippi were amazed to find that their Southland home was the only house on their block left in tact after hurricane Katrina destroyed the community. The McGintys had built the home themselves just a year earlier.
