Summit specializes in handcrafted log homes, milled log homes, timber frame homes, post and beam structures, cabins, recreational properties, and custom wood buildings. We also design and build outdoor structures such as pavilions, gazebos, pergolas, covered decks, entryways, and other custom timber features.
Handcrafted log homes are built using individually selected logs that retain their natural shape and character. Each log is carefully fitted by hand, creating a highly customized and traditional appearance.
Milled log homes use precision-milled logs that are manufactured to consistent sizes and profiles. This provides a more uniform appearance while maintaining the warmth, strength, and character of log construction.
Together with our partners, we offer a range of construction options to suit different project goals and levels of involvement. Whether you’re looking for a complete turnkey solution or a lock-up package that allows you to complete portions of the project yourself, we can tailor an approach that fits your needs.
The first step is a conversation. We’ll discuss your goals, property, preferred building style, and overall vision for the project. From there, we can begin developing concept plans, refining the design, and guiding you through the planning and construction process. Our team is available to assist at every stage, from initial ideas through completion.
