To Dave and all the staff at DBD Log Homes,

Building a log home has been a life-long dream for us. We bought a lake front property and wanted to build a quality log home. A lot of research on builders and the quality of work was done before making our decision to choose DBDLog Homes. Your company has more than met our expectation.

My husband Bill is a craftsman who enjoys building quality furniture as a hobby so he wanted someone to prepare the log package that would take pride in their work, deliver a fabulous product and build a special design we created - we could not have asked for anything better. We also appreciated all the pictures that were e-mailed to us on the progress while the log home was being constructed in the yard. The photos really increased our enthusiasm. Thank you for working with us through email, on the phone and in person to create the home of our dreams.

Dave, we were very impressed with your knowledge, professionalism and leadership. When the time came to erect the home on our property we were also very pleased with your crew that helped erect our log home. Your crew was very organized and safety conscious as each log was guided into place with ease and the quality of material was outstanding. The professional yet personable attitudes they all have are wonderful. We found everyone to be honest and sincere.

We can’t thank you enough. From our initial contact to erecting the log home in August 2007 - you were there to give us suggestions and help as required. Your honesty, integrity and professional knowledge of the log home business is wonderful.

Thank you to all the staff at DBD Log Homes. We would recommend you to anyone wanting to build a log home.

Sincerely,
Shauna and Bill Vandenberg

Dear Dave and Barb,
We wanted to send you a note to let you know how much we have enjoyed the entire experience of doing business with you. We have completed construction of the log home you built for us and it is all and more than we had hoped for. From the early stages of design concept discussions through to your on-time delivery and erection, it could not have gone smoother.

Beyond the obvious and impressive aesthetic value, having done all of the finishing work ourselves, we’ve gained a great deal of appreciation for the high level of workmanship that went into the log work. Every fit was tight, every wall, doorway and window opening square and level and the logs were ground perfectly, ready for staining. All of this made the finishing work easy.
We are now thinking about a log sauna…we’ll be in touch soon.

All the best and thanks again,

Tom and Kim

I met Dave at his building yard in January of 2005. After several hours together, and another session the next morning, I wrote a check to DBD Contracting for half of our project without any question in mind what these folks would do. As the next months went by, we were kept informed and had a steady supply of pictures of the progress. Dave provided us with very high quality framing lumber and long lengths of cedar beams for exposed rafters at less than competitive prices.
My father-in-law and I salvaged bricks from a demolished building that winter. We started the foundation in west central Minnesota as soon as the weather would allow, and by the middle of June we finally had a concrete block and brick basement ready for a log house that was waiting in Canada. One load of lumber was already delivered, and the people at DBD arranged the transportation and loaded our house on two more loads. We picked up Pete from DBD in Fargo, and with an expert local crane crew in our employ, ten men put our DBD home together in one day. Soon the shake roof was on.
This is spring 2007; our family with three small children is living in our beautiful but not quite finished log home. This home is available for inspection, just contact DBD Contracting for location and contact information.
The Ohrlings and their crew have truly worked hard to put a fabulous log home within the reach of common working people without any financing. When we build again there will be some things we will do differently, but the one we won’t change is our log builder.
