Would highly recommend. Our Log home looks great!Posted on James CurryTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Brad Siler and the team at Pencil log pros were true professionals and excel at the craft of log home restoration. Our home restoration turned out better than we imagined and looks like new. Brad was extremely helpful before and during the project and was able to address our questions and concerns in a timely manner. I couldn’t recommend them enough for log home care.Posted on chadr200Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Complicated job but they exceeded expectations.Posted on Barbara GolderTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This staining job was amazingly easy on us. We were in residence the whole time. Rose, Justin, and Ivan were so professional and so very nice to have around. They took great care to prep the house, got every nook, cranny, and repair, and left the place cleaner than when they came. On top of that, it’s obvious that these three work well together, respect each other, and are well supported by their boss. They kept us appraised of every step of the job and found some areas in need of repair—after 30 plus years—that we missed. And again: these folks are NICE! A joy to have around. No complaints at all, and I recommend them without reservation.Posted on Tammy HendersonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. They are great to work with. We love how personal Brad is and the pride he takes in his work. He and his crew worked on our cabin as if it was their own.Posted on Scott and Jacqueline YaleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is one of the easiest reviews I’ve ever written! Pencil Log Pros is one of the best subcontracting companies we have ever hired. My husband and I have twenty-five years of experience working with various contractors; from the start, Pencil Log Pro's professionalism and expertise was apparent. What we found outstanding about Brad and his crew was the vast knowledge, experience, technical skill and common sense regarding the restoration of our log home. Throughout our project the communication with Brad and all of his employees was excellent. Our project was not as straightforward as we hoped. At one point, the staining product (purchased independently by us) was simply not drying fast enough to proceed. Rather than forging ahead, Brad and his crew made the difficult decision to stop the project for three weeks and let the stain dry. This was the best decision because when the crew returned, the stain was dry, and they could easily finish the job. The decision to delay was not without hardship as Brad now had to mobilize his team three times from Grand Junction to Durango and adjust (for us) his busy summer schedule. We appreciated their willingness to be flexible so that our home and our project could be finished and protected in the best way possible. Once the technical issues with the stain were resolved, the crew came back and did a beautiful job caulking and chinking the entire exterior of our cabin. We couldn’t be happier with the end result! Finally, it is also worth noting that Brad, his foremen Rose and Michael, and their crews were just a very pleasant group to work with. Their work ethic was amazing— consecutively working 10 to12 hour days, and always with smiles on their faces. The job site was meticulously cleaned before they left the site for the final time. By the end of the job, we knew we had chosen a great log home restoration contractor for our project!Posted on Ed FryTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Taylor, Daniel and Jesus were amazing. Excellent work. Highly recommend Brad and his company.Posted on Peter ChatfieldTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Posted on Sallie ChatfieldTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We could not be happier with or more grateful for the excellent work provided by Pencil Log Pros!! Brad Siler and his crew (special shout out to Taylor!) have exceeded our expectations in every way possible! Our remote home in the mountains, needed a laundry list of varied types of work to be done, that might have posed a challenge for some construction companies. But Brad’s team handled it all — big and small projects — seamlessly! They are not only skilled, careful, timely, and detail-oriented; they’re also problem-solvers, great communicators, and — best of all— reasonably priced! They were truly superior professionals! We were even able to travel away from the home for extended periods of time, leaving our home in their hands, and return to find multiple jobs completed perfectly! It’s been a joy working with Brad Siler and his team! We cannot recommend Pencil Log Pros enough! If we could give them 10 stars, we would!Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
