Our Materials and Methods...

Our Logs - We use Eastern White pine logs exclusively for a number of reasons. It's less prone to large checking then say a yellow pine, It's much less difficult to build with, and therefore more cost effective.

Cut on Site Method - Simply put we order all logs directly from the mill and cut every log to fit a chosen plan. This process takes appoximatly the same amout of time as assembling a kit home with a few notable advantages. First, it is far more cost effective becuase there is no middle man to pay. Secondly, it offers more flexablity in design and realtime changes. Lastly, we cut on site because it offers superior quality at a substatial savings.

Interior tounge and Groove - Here also commonly use white pine, but this is an area for your own personal style and taste. We also offer aspen, white ceder

February 22, 2009

When my wife and I decided to build a log home in the Smokey Mountains in February of 2008, we searched and searched for floor plans of various log home package dealers that would best fit our needs.
Every time we found a floor plan we liked we had our hopes crushed after we learned the “Package Price” and installation price would not fit within our budget. Our research lasted several months with the same results every time. With our hopes fading of building a log home, we had almost given in to building a traditional “stick home”.
Late on a Friday night out of desperation I tried one last time to find a turnkey log home builder in the state of Tennessee on a “Google” search. To my surprise Gillespie Log Home website was near the top of the page. After reviewing the website we found a floor plan that my wife and I loved. I called the number on the web page the next day and left a message and to my surprise Wayne Gillespie called me back on a Sunday afternoon.
After Mr. Gillespie and I spoke that Sunday about the floor plans and a few modifications to the plans, it was exactly a week later on a Sunday afternoon the he called and gave me a verbal estimate of the log home and it was right in line with our budget price. The main reason that Mr. Gillespie could save us thousands of dollars on our log home is that he buys his logs directly from the supplier and cuts them to fit on-site instead of buying log “package deals” from the companies.
I was shocked that Mr. Gillespie called me exactly when he said he would because so many companies never returned my phone call.
It was shortly after the last phone call that Mr.Gillespie, my wife and I met at our property.
Once all of the paper work had been signed and we were ready to begin construction, I researched the Clarksville Chamber of Commerce and found that Gillespie Construction was a member and it did not have any complaints against it as well as the State of Tennessee and found no complaints there as well.
Living in Florida and having our home built in Tennessee, as first was worrisome, but after seeing the workmanship and detail that Mr. Gillespie and his crew put into our home during the early construction phase all of our worries went away.
My wife and I made only a few visits up to the home during its construction and always came back in awe. Mr. Gillespie even gave us ideas during the building process to make our log home even more attractive.

During the final week of the constriction my wife and I went to visit our new log home with hopes of closing on the home at the same time. I had a chance to meet the building inspector for his final inspection for the Certificate of Occupancy and his first word when he opened the front door was “WOW” That said a lot to me because I knew he had inspected many log homes in our area and it said a lot about the way Mr. Gillespie builds log homes. Mr. Gillespie even went to our closing during that week!!
I realize that there are many stories about builders all across the nation, but I can honestly recommend Gillespie Log Home Builders as a reputable company who goes the extra mile in building a superior log home, that pays attention to every detail.
