Nate and his crew did an excellent job of fixing the issues I had with my cabin. I would highly recommend that you contact Nate if you need any work done on your log cabin.

The work was very well done. We had to replace a few logs. Clean up was good. We will have them return for any future log home needs. Planning on having Weatherwize crew back, to do exterior staining.
