All the people I dealt with at Total Log Cabin Restoration were top-notch. Those in management and in the office were genuine, sincere and upfront. The restoration team itself was just plain GREAT. Marco and his team were hardworking, thorough and professional I’ve had so many friends and family comment and compliment how well the cabin looks. It looks like it did 24 years ago when we built it. Thank you for the wonderful experience.
