At WEATHERWIZE Log Home Professionals, log homes aren’t just part of what we do; they’re all we do. We live in them, study them, and care for them as if they were our own. Based in Engadine and serving communities throughout Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, Northern Lower Peninsula and Northern Wisconsin, we specialize in the long-term care, restoration, and construction of log homes built to last for generations.
