TESTIMONIES

 After reviewing several log home brochures, looking at their various designs, reading about their company histories and construction methods, and reading many testimonials, we were most impressed with Wisconsin Log Homes and chose them to design our new home.

 From the start, our Wisconsin Log Homes representative was extremely upbeat, helpful and solicitous, and was able to answer all of our questions promptly and convincingly. We were repeatedly assured of complete satisfaction with the building process under Wisconsin Log Homes’ direction, and felt very confident that we had made the right choice.

 Our representative at Wisconsin Log Homes recommended a local builder who had worked for them for many years on several projects. We chose him after receiving a much higher bid from another builder. Our builder has been outstanding in every way. He is meticulous, honest, very knowledgeable, and has helped us in many instances to add little touches to enhance the house design. All of the subcontractors have been excellent also. In short, we have had no problems, but just very “smooth sailing” with the entire process. The building is moving along according to schedule even with the harsh winter weather conditions we have been faced with.

 All in all we are extremely happy with our choice of Wisconsin Log Homes and would highly recommend them to anyone who is planning to build.

Dear Wisconsin Log Homes,

 We would like to say “Thank You” for a job well done. We love everything about our cabin, and know that we will have so many wonderful memories for us and our children for years to come.

 We have always been very attracted to the natural look and feel of log homes. A friend of mine had recently purchased a full log cottage that had been built in the 1800’s. He just finished refurbishing the home, and it turned out beautifully. Our interest in log homes was rekindled. Around the same time, we had purchased our lakefront property in Door County. Our attention turned to finding someone to build our dream log home. That process led us to Wisconsin Log Homes.

 Your Green Bay showroom was the first log home company we visited. In that first visit, we sat down with Thom, and he listened to our ideas attentively. He took our drawings, and turned them into a plan that fit our needs perfectly. Needless to say, we never made it to another showroom.

 Once we had agreed to proceed with the project, things moved ahead very quickly and smoothly. At your recommendation, we chose Dennis with WLH Builders to build our log home. His crew did a superb job. The home is as solid as a rock, and the details of the log work, both inside and out, are amazing. All our questions were answered and any concerns we had were always taken care of in a timely manner. We were amazed at how quickly and carefully our home was built. Ground breaking in November and finished by April, you can’t ask for anything better than that!!

 Early in the process, we began working with your in house interior designer, Stephanie G. She was very receptive to our ideas, and worked very hard to help us find very unique pieces to decorate the inside of our cabin that suited our decorating style. She was most helpful and gave us the sense that we were always in control of how the home was going to look. Instead of “taking over” the project she was our guide, sharing her interior design skills with us so we got just the look we were after. She was awesome!

 Thank you very much for making our log home dreams come true. We are 100% satisfied with every aspect of our new log home, and are confident that we will have many years of enjoyment to come. We would recommend Wisconsin Log Homes, and WLH Builders, to anyone. Thank you for a job well done, we love our home!

Sincerely,

Shawn & JoAnn Hennigan and Family

Dear Dave & Kathy,

 I wanted to take this opportunity to let you know what an amazing employee you have working for you.

 My husband and I are planning on building a log home in Breckenridge, Colorado. We contacted 4 or 5 log home builders and Ehren, one of your home consultants, was the only one to respond. Not only did he respond, but he answered all our questions and even took time to meet with us in Breckenridge when he was out in Denver for the Log & Timber Home Show.

 My husband was a little skeptical that he was willing to meet with us. He had his guard up expecting a "Pushy Salesman." I kept telling him he wasn’t going to be like that and I was right. Both my husband and I were very impressed with him and your company.

 We are planning a visit to see your operations and hopefully one of your homes, but I just wanted to let you know how impressed we are already!

Sincerely,

Cathy & Mark Bohdan

 I purchased a Wisconsin Log Home in 1989 with Tru-Fit logs in Northern White Cedar. I was looking through your web site, and I noticed a page about energy efficiency of Wisconsin Log homes. As a testament to the quality and energy efficiency of the homes, I currently heat my entire home all winter long in Upstate New York with between 4 and 5 face cords of wood per season! At today's prices, I pay about $300 per season to heat my home, whereas conventional homes heating prices are between $1500 and $2000 per season! After 20 years of owning this home, I am so very glad that my wife and I purchased a Wisconsin Log home.

We are so happy we selected Wisconsin Log Homes.

 You made our building experience very simple and stress free. Every detail was shown on our plans, the builder didn’t make-it-up along the way. The printout of all the materials and where they were used also stopped any guesswork. Our home was built on time and on budget. It was everything we had hoped for and more. No tradeoffs.

 Remember the guy across the lake bragging about all the money he was going to save by going with his builder’s ‘package’? It’s been nearly nine months and he and his builder are still arguing over who pays for what, and the home is not done yet. He wishes he had your “no shortage guarantee” and someone who would listen. Wisconsin Log Homes is the best. Good products and plans. Good service and accurate answers to all our questions.

 We recommend Wisconsin Log Homes to everyone.

We have been extremely pleased with the staff at Wisconsin Log Homes. They deserve a “5 star rating” for the very helpful and friendly manner in which they responded to every question, from the planning stage through to completion.

Ehren Graf, our primary contact person, made helpful suggestions based upon his experience to improve our floor plans, facilitated shipments to the building site in a most timely manner, visited us in our home, and provided us an opportunity to inspect two model homes. He and the other staff members were always readily available to answer questions.

When I learn of persons interested in the construction of a log home, I would give Wisconsin Log Homes my undivided endorsement.

  Wisconsin Log Homes fulfilled a lifelong dream in providing my wife Barbara and myself with a home in harmony with nature. Our Menominee River property just begged for a year-round log home that would satisfy both our recreational and aesthetic needs. Wisconsin Log Homes provided us with quality, service, satisfaction and peace of mind in realizing our dream.

  My wife has always had a dream of living in a log home out in the country and being able to be with our horses. Four years ago, we bought almost 30 acres of land and since that time we had a road and bridge built to get into the property, and our barn was constructed for the horses while the pastures were fenced. During this time we started looking for the right log home to build. We spent two years looking at many different log home companies. We visited sample show homes and even visited homes that were occupied by homeowners. We bought every log home magazine we could find, attended log home shows and searched the internet for log home companies. It was about 1 ½ years ago that we found Wisconsin Log Homes (WLH) on the internet.

 We talked to Ehren Graf, our representative with WLH and he walked us through the process. He was upfront with us about what this home would cost to build. As it turns out, he was right on the money. We started with an idea of the home we wanted to build with Ehren. We went through numerous revisions and finally decided on our home plan. Ehren was most helpful during this process and the WLH planning department was superb in helping us design our dream home.

 Construction started in March of this year and our home was completed in early November. Anytime we or our builder needed help or support, Ehren and WLH was there to provide what we needed. We had a few shortages and WLH was right there for us and solved the problem. Their no shortage guarantee is something that WLH will stand behind. It has been great to work with a company that does what they promise to do. Things could not have gone more smoothly for us, and best of all, my wife and I are still married!!!

 This is the third home we have built, and this construction went more smoothly than the other two. We could not be more pleased with the results of our new home. Our family and friends just rave about the quality of materials and the appearance of this home. Everyone assumes it is a traditionally built log home. They just cannot believe it was built like a traditional stick built home with logs applied on the outside and inside. That makes us feel great about our decision to build with Wisconsin. Not only did we get the look of a true log home, but we get all the energy efficiency this type of construction affords.

 It is great to finally be at home with our horses, dogs, and cats. My hunting trophies look right at home in this log home. Deer, elk, bear, and ducks adorn the walls and fireplaces. They look like they were meant to be there.

 Thank you Ehren and Wisconsin Log Homes for making our dream come true.

Regards,

Ron & Kathy Anderson

 Dear Kathy,

 I want to let you know what a "fan" we are of Wisconsin Log Homes. When we started to think about building a log home I did an extensive amount of research on different log home manufacturers. While there are several and many of them very reputable, in the end it was very obvious to us as to whom we wanted to build our log home - Wisconsin Log Homes. In the selection process we did a lot of reading in log home magazines, looking at house plans, internet research, etc. etc. etc. We also visited several log home manufacturers headquarters/plants along with talking with people who owned log homes from many manufacturers.

 In choosing Wisconsin Log Homes, one key feature that you offer that really caught our attention was your "Thermal-Log Building System". We also felt that you offered several great house plans that met our needs as far as starting to customize our home to make it unique and what we wanted as far as our home. When we visited your home office in Green Bay we were first of all very welcomed by your entire staff. While they were most helpful in discussing the many various options available to us in log homes, at no time did we feel "pressured" to buy. We could also see the outstanding workmanship that your craftsmen do in putting the log home package together. The follow up that we received after our visit was exceptional getting answers to all questions that we had. Also, since building our home there have been a couple of times when we had to contact your headquarters, and again we were well received and got what we needed as a result of our call.

 Shortly after the completion of our home we had been asked by a Log Home magazine to do an article on our home which we did. In doing the interview it was very easy to talk about the quality of our home, the compliments that we had received from people who visited us telling us how much they enjoyed being in our home, and how much we love living in our log home - all this due to the "product" that you provided for our local builder to construct. We also received what we felt was a tremendous compliment from a person on your staff who had seen the main photograph from the article and ended up putting it on their screen saver because they liked it so much. To say that we are proud of our home and enjoy living in it is an understatement. We love the quality of construction, the traffic flow, the unique features such as the kitchen island, to the cabinets, to the outside looks including the saddle-notch design, the windows, etc. The bottom line is that when it comes to building a log home, Wisconsin Log Homes is the "Best of the Best". You are the right people, with the right product. Our congratulations to all your employees who do so much and go the extra mile to putting out the best product in the log home industry.

Sincerely,

Jean and Bill Thompson
