Dear Gerry, Brennan and staff at High Mountain Log Homes:

I can't believe how wonderfully everything went up.  I thought it would take the whole 5 days and would be such hard, stressful, labor.  Brennan was simply wonderful to work with.  I absolutely love the home....it could not be any prettier!!  It looks so majestic setting up on the hill where we have it. I will send some pictures as we make progress.  Well, you told Tom "If mamma's happy, then everyone's happy" Well this mamma is SO VERY HAPPY. What a Valentine's present. But got to say myself, that I have never seen anything as beautiful as our home.  Every log is so perfectly fit and so soft.  Every log sanded to perfection. Everyone should have that log staircase, it's so pretty.  I can't wait to decorate for Christmas. Thanks again for everything.

Dreams do come true

Building a log home has been a life dream for us. A lot of research on builders, and quality work was done before making our choice. My husband and I work in Iraq supporting the troops right now and would not be able to have a constant flow of communication. This was another reason we needed someone we could really trust was working in our best interest.

High Mountain Log Homes has more that met that expectation. They worked with us through email and on the phone when ever possible. We had a special design we wanted and they had no problem with that. High Mountain gave us the best quote and stuck to it.

We found they are honest and sincere about what they do. We were sent picture on the progress while being constructed in Canada which lifted our spirits many times. When the time came to start the home on our property I was absolutely and wonderfully impressed with the crew that delivered and helped erect the logs. Brennan is a very knowledgeable and professional young man, what was thought to be a three or four day construction took two and a half days. I was amazed as I watched each log being guided into place with ease and the quality of material was outstanding. The logs are beautiful and everything fits to a "T". Brennan worked with the contractors from our location and you would have thought they had all known each other for years.

I just can't say enough about the whole process. From our initial contact to the building of the house—Gerry and his entire family and crew became part of our family. The professional yet personable attitudes they all have are wonderful. Their honest integrity and professional knowledge of the business is wonderful. They truly work for the client. We actually hated to see Brennan leave. We do intend to continue the friendship that developed. Thank you Gerry, Brennan and the entire staff of High Mountain Log Homes. Come see us anytime.

You want quality at a fair price—these are the folks.

I'm just blown away by your quality

Dear Gerry, Brennan, and staff of High Mountain Log Homes,

Doing business with someone a long way away and through the internet is scary, but you folks are everything that you said you were and more. I'm just blown away by your quality. High Mountain Log Homes is Number One on our list for any future log homes that we will build in this area.

Thank you for the wonderful log building

Good Morning Gerry & Family.

Just wanted to drop you a short note to say thank you for the wonderful log building. It is absolutely gorgeous!!!!

I also wanted to say that Brennan was a true pleasure to be with. You must be very proud. Everyone commented on his patience and quality workmanship. We all enjoyed his company and we had a great time "working and playing". I look forward to Brennan's return and I suggested that he bring you and Carol next time. We would love to have you.

I cannot say enough about the pleasure it has been to work with you all and look forward with great anticipation to completing the barn & house. Thank you again for your understanding in delaying the construction of the barn, however, we just need a little time to get situated with a dependable contracting crew. Please consider visiting with us in the near future (or with Brennan on the next set-up). Please give my best to Amanda & Jens (and all the High Mountain Family). With best regards, Bill, Missy & Billy.

Historic Hat Creek Ranch, Cache Creek, BC

This testimonial letter is written for Gerry Canuel, owner of High Mountain Log Homes, located at 10 Sorley Road in Clinton, BC V0K 1K0.

High Mountain Log Homes was hired by Historic Hat Creek Ranch in the Spring of 2005 to perform extensive and very detailed work on three historic structures that were being restored at our historic site. One building (the former pig barn) had some damage to the roof section, which had been caused by a fire over 50 years ago. The other two buildings (an ice house and root cellar) had deteriorated beyond salvaging and had to be rebuilt completely, following information gathered from archival documents and photographs.

High Mountain Log Homes not only submitted the most favourable quote, but was also able to offer excellent suggestions on the work to be performed as well as the services of an experienced and well-trained crew, which includes a Civil Engineer with training in as-found and restoration drawings.

Throughout their time working at Historic Hat Creek Ranch, High Mountain Log Homes' crew was always on time, worked in a very fast and efficient manner and treated the historic site with much respect. Progress reports were provided at regular intervals, co-ordination with other contractors in charge of excavation or foundation pouring was excellent, and if any questions arose, the crew or owner made sure that the work was done according to our instructions.

The crew performed excellent work to our complete satisfaction and did an outstanding job rebuilding these historic structures. Both the two buildings that had to be reconstructed "from scratch" and the building for which some of the old logs could be reused were done extremely well and in accordance with heritage guidelines. At the end of the project, the company managed to stay significantly under budget, which is a rare achievement and a very honest and professional way of doing business.

We can highly recommend High Mountain Log Homes, will gladly hire the company back for any future construction work to be done at Historic Hat Creek Ranch, and would be happy to provide further information upon request at (250) 457-9722.

We would highly recommend High Mountain Log Homes!!

We just wanted to let you how happy we are with our log cabin from High Mountain Log Homes. They took our sketches and made our handcrafted log cabin a reality. We checked out several log home builders before we decided on High Mountain Log Homes.

After meeting with the Canuel family (and staying in that neat cabin) there was no doubt we wanted them to handcraft our cabin. They are big enough to handle any job, but small enough to make you feel like family! They always returned our calls promptly and things went on schedule. Everyone who has seen our cabin, including one of my friends who is a finish carpenter, is amazed at the precision of everything, especially the notches! We would highly recommend High Mountain Log Homes!!

We love it

I would like to take the opportunity to thank the High Mountain Log Home crew that built our beautiful log home. We are so pleased with our house. Our logs are great big and so awesome. We thought the services from High Mountain Log Homes was very satisfying as well. From the time the house was starting to be built in Canada until the actual set up, we were kept informed all the time. The pictures in Canada were sent to us frequently and emails to keep us updated. When the house was delivered the set up went so smooth and was so exciting. We are very pleased with the product and service we received from High Mountian Log Homes.

Thank You very much for all the hard work you all put into our home. We love it! Thanks again,

More than we expected

Really love the log cabins and enjoying them very much. We also enjoyed meeting Brennan and working with him on the setups. The quality and workmanship of the log cabins is more than we expected..

Work of Art
