Log Home Construction
We build handcrafted log homes tailored to client specifications using locally sourced and nationwide cedar logs. Our process includes design consultation, material selection, and on-site construction. Clients benefit from direct collaboration with our experienced team to ensure quality and budget adherence.
Timber Frame Building
Our timber frame structures use traditional mortise and tenon joinery with wooden pegs for durable, aesthetically pleasing results. We construct commercial buildings, reception halls, and residential frames in square or round timbers. Projects include engineered stamped prints when needed.
Log Home Restoration
We restore aging log homes through rot repair, media blasting, staining, and maintenance services. Our team performs inspections to identify issues like water damage and staining conditions. This service extends the lifespan of existing log structures while preserving their original charm.
Custom Wood Projects
Our custom projects include timber trusses, stairs, slab tables, countertops, and pergolas. Using our in-house sawmill and kiln, we cut wood to precise specifications. The Rustic Lumber Store offers slabs, lumber, and rustic furniture for unique applications.
Milled Log Kits
We provide pre-milled cedar log home kits with sealant, gaskets, and screws for DIY builders. Our team offers delivery and setup guidance to ensure proper assembly. These packages eliminate middlemen costs while maintaining quality craftsmanship.
