Best Custom Home Builders in Morristown, TN

Hearthstone's full packages include structural, specialty, common, erection and possibly dry-in services (depending on time of year and availability). To this you need to add the cost of freight, crew travel and state sales/use tax. The erection and dry-in pricing assumes site access allows for our tractor trailer trucks to deliver near the foundation and the crane will be positioned on the uphill side. Shuttling of materials and tight job sites require more money.

Hearthstone makes the process of "building yourself" easier by providing the erection and dry-in services with our packages. This results in a temporarily "dried-in" shell for you to complete at your own pace. You'll need to prepare the foundation and subfloor ahead of delivery (we provide the plans), but then we get most of the heavy lifting done and structural work completed (our crews have cranes and the pricing is included with erected shell).

Drying in a vacuum makes all the difference. In a vacuum, moisture exits the log at a lower temperature and at a faster rate than in a conventional kiln. This allows us to get the moisture content in our huge logs and timbers down to a meaningful moisture content - consistent throughout the timbers - at a reasonable cost and amount of time. The entire process is completely tailored to both performance and efficiency.
