At Log Masters Restorations, we’re thrilled to announce that our service coverage area is growing to serve our customers better. We now have two fully functioning branches located in Springfield, Missouri, and Westcliffe, Colorado, from which to offer our quality services.
Exciting News: We’re Expanding Our Service Coverage Area!
In addition to these established locations, we’re excited to introduce three new service areas:
- Colorado Springs, Colorado – still awaiting Google My Business Verification!
- Austin, Texas – still awaiting Google My Business Verification!
- Chesterfield, Missouri – still awaiting Google My Business Verification!
The new branches are currently in the development stage and are open to clients. You can visit these locations, but you need to set an appointment beforehand to speak with a Log Master at this location. Even though we have not fully staffed these locations, we have dedicated contractors ready to serve clients in these areas. As our client base grows, we will gradually increase our staffing to meet demand.
Career and Professional Expectations of Log Masters
New Locations Operational Timeline
We aim to have all three new locations fully staffed with a full-time GM and reception ready for walk-ins and operational by the end of 2025. This timeline allows us to build a strong presence and ensure a sustainable client base to support an entire staff. Until then, Colorado and Missouri branch GMs will share the management responsibilities, duties, and schedules. Read more about our history!
States Log Masters Restorations Services
We are proud to service a wide range of states, including Texas, Missouri, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Kansas, New Mexico, Iowa, Illinois, Tennessee, and Kentucky. Our crews often travel anywhere between 3-8 hours from our branch locations and have made exceptions from time to time to meet specific demands in the area.
For example:
In 2020, we only had the Springfield Branch location when we received a flood of calls from Colorado. Our expansion to Colorado came during the wildfires when there weren’t enough log home restoration companies to meet the demand. We hired more staff and sent them to restore many log homes that year, demonstrating the market need for our services there. Now, Colorado is opening a second location because of the demand. Still, finding log home restoration experts to fill the positions is challenging. This field of expertise is unique, and it takes years to get sufficient training to handle any log home restoration. We still learn new innovative ways to tackle log cabin restoration.
Do We Hire Employees or Subcontractors?
Yes! We use both. Our Project Managers are dedicated Log Masters who ensure your log home restoration runs smoothly, providing you peace of mind. They review with you the Customer Prep Sheet and offer a comprehensive overview of the restoration process. Utilizing our Quality Control Checklist, they maintain high standards of work. Additionally, they collect customer payments (checks or money orders only) and gather feedback. We encourage customers to share their experience by filling out a Google review with photos of their beautifully restored cabins.
What to Expect When Expecting a Log Master
Hiring Future Log Masters
The general expectations of a Log Master employee are reasonable. There are several benefits to becoming a Log Master Employee. However, finding hardworking, dedicated staff has proven to be a challenge in our current society. It takes unique individuals willing to do exhausting physical labor during the heat of summer (or during the cold of fall and spring), travel away from friends and family, and stick with it for years to gain the master skills necessary to work independently or run a crew with no input. Few young people enter this industry, and seeing diamonds among the few is rare. Are we seeking a Log Master? Yes, and if you know of someone, send them to our article ‘Seeking Future Log Masters.’

Hiring Subcontractors Crews in Your Area
Do we hire subcontractors? Yes, we do. While we do try to hire staff to put on our payroll, many experienced in this industry prefer subcontracting. It allows them to dictate which jobs they will do and when. Just so you know, they must have years of experience in log home restoration with referrals, means of travel and towing, carry adequate insurance, and have tools and equipment expected for a log home restoration. Otherwise, they’d only qualify for apprenticeship in Spring.
Subcontractor Benefits
The benefits of hiring subcontractors are manifold. Aside from the previously mentioned subcontractor preference, it allows us to find contractors closer to your residence and save on the travel contract’s expenses. What’s more, our list of contractors is constantly growing, making it easier to meet the needs of more log homeowners. Additionally, with our project manager overseeing the progress and getting daily feedback, log cabin owners can rest easy having a quality control list that thoroughly goes over every step of the restoration process and what to expect. The project manager is also there to explain each step and be available for any issues that could arise, whether from the homeowner or crews.
Vetting Subcontract Crews
All subcontracting crews have been thoroughly vetted, insured up to $2 million, and carry worker’s compensation. Additionally, during the first year, we have an experienced project manager from Log Masters on-site to ensure the process meets the high standards that customers have come to depend upon. Our commitment to quality work is unwavering. ‘Why Do Log Home Restoration Companies Hire Subcontractors‘ can help you find the answers to that question. Have a hard working log home restoration crew, but don’t want the hassle of business administration, then check out ‘Calling All Log Home Subcontractors.‘
Can you work at these heights? Not many people can overcome their fear, much less work at these heights. Our skilled professional Log Masters can media blast at almost any height your log home reaches. We always use OSHA Safety procedures, and we are insured in case of any accidents, so the homeowner avoids any work-related liability.
