Their Florida Cypress Log Homes are incredible, love the smell every time we walk in. Takes us back to a simply time, so relaxing. The thing we like the most is the piece of mind the cypress log home gives us, no worries about insects or decay with cypress. Oh my, the 24 foot vaulted ceilings are breath taking! They also build small Florida Log Cabins for your guest visitors. Check them out you won't be disappointed.
Update 10-22-2021, we needed some additional cypress materials to dress up our cute little pump house and they give them to us free! The best Florida log home company! Thanks

Wow! I learned a lot. We will definitely call Bill if we decide to purchase a log home. Thank you so much. Jennifer

I just spoke to the owner of Log Home Guys, Mr. Bill Mathews, and he was incredibly helpful, kind, and patient while he took the time to explain to me (in great detail, which is much appreciated) how the log home industry works, what to be mindful of, and what I can expect if I plan to move forward with the process. I now have a much better idea as to the steps I need to take in order to go forward with building a log home. Thank you for your time and for all of the helpful information Bill.

Met with Bill for a preliminary meeting. He spent a lot of time with me and clearly explained the building process and was incredibly open about all the costs therein. Furthermore, Bill strives to provide the best product possible to his customer. I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for an incredibly knowledgeable and high quality heart-cypress log home provider.

Great company. Bill Mathews the best. Honest, goes the extra mile for his clients. Cypress Logs are truly well worth the cost. Much easier to work with from construction point, maintain, and withhold damages from nature's paths of flood waters, wind storms.
