FIND A CONTRACTOR
Thinking you may want to consider finding a contractor instead of doing it yourself? While we service most of the Midwest from Colorado to Missouri and beyond (see Log Masters Restorations service coverage area here), we don’t service all 50 United States of America or Canada. This is very unfortunate for some of you now, but our goal is to see us serving them all eventually. So stay tuned for a location near you.
