The log home. What could be more authentically American? And no one makes log homes quite the way we do.

We are Al & Lisa Velletri of Alpine Custom Log Homes, a sub-contractor for The Original Lincoln Logs in Eastern And Western North Carolina.

About Us: Having grown up in Upstate New York I have always had a love of forests and nature. After relocating from Poughkeepsie to the Adirondack mountains in 1990, I started my own electrical contracting company. The Original Lincoln Logs corporate facilities and manufacturing plant were just down the street. I soon started working as an electrician for Lincoln Logs in their offices, factory and wiring log homes.

This gave me a unique inside look at the work and beautiful homes The Original Lincoln Logs was creating. During the period between 1990-1998 I worked on and completed approximately 25 log homes. Shortley after relocating to North Carolina, the love of the mountains and log homes got the best of me and the search for the perfect log home lot was on.

We believe we found it north of Marion, N.C. just down the street from Linville Caverns. The natural choice for becoming a dealer for The Original Lincoln Logs was easy given my previous experience with the company.

Why choose Alpine?

I understand you´re shopping around a bit and that´s good. A well informed buyer is always the best customer.

Comparing square foot prices of different manufacturers is a good starting point but doesn´t generally give an accurate overall view of a log companies products or customer service. Since interior finishes can vary from carpet to marble to granite, it's difficult to go on a square foot price alone.

As a rule of thumb we believe a custom log home can be completed for 120-125 a square foot, but this will depend on several factors including complexity of roof lines and choices of interior finish.

There will always be cheaper and less expensive companies to work with but they usually come at a great sacrifice in the quality and quantity of materials used as well as little or no customer service after the sale. Lincoln Logs prides itself in not cutting corners in either of these areas and proof of that is reflected at Loghomereports.com This is the consumer reports and clearing house for log home customers.
