Log Masters Restorations Service Coverage Area

At Log Masters Restorations, we’re thrilled to announce that our service coverage area is growing to serve our customers better. We now have two fully functioning branches located in Springfield, Missouri, and Westcliffe, Colorado, from which to offer our quality services.

Exciting News: We’re Expanding Our Service Coverage Area!

In addition to these established locations, we’re excited to introduce three new service areas:

• Colorado Springs, Colorado – still awaiting Google My Business Verification!
• Austin, Texas – still awaiting Google My Business Verification!
• Chesterfield, Missouri – still awaiting Google My Business Verification!

The new branches are currently in the development stage and are open to clients. You can visit these locations, but you need to set an appointment beforehand to speak with a Log Master at this location. Even though we have not fully staffed these locations, we have dedicated contractors ready to serve clients in these areas. As our client base grows, we will gradually increase our staffing to meet demand.

Career & Professional Expectations of Log Masters

New Locations Operational Timeline

We aim to have all three new locations fully staffed with a full-time GM and reception ready for walk-ins and operational by the end of 2025. This timeline allows us to build a strong presence and ensure a sustainable client base to support an entire staff. Until then, Colorado and Missouri branch GMs will share the management responsibilities, duties, and schedules. Read more about our history!

States Log Masters Restorations Services

We are proud to service a wide range of states, including Texas, Missouri, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Kansas, New Mexico, Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois, Tennessee, and Kentucky. Our crews often travel anywhere between 3-8 hours from our branch locations and have made exceptions from time to time to meet specific demands in the area.

For example:
In 2020, we only had the Springfield Branch location when we received a flood of calls from Colorado. Our expansion to Colorado came during the wildfires when there weren't enough log home restoration companies to meet the demand. We hired more staff and sent them to restore many log homes that year, demonstrating the market need for our services there. Now, Colorado is opening a second location because of the demand. Still, finding log home restoration experts to fill the positions is challenging. This field of expertise is unique, and it takes years to get sufficient training to handle any log home restoration. We still learn new innovative ways to tackle log cabin restoration.

Do Hire Employees or Subcontractors?

The general expectations of a Log Master employee aren’t unreasonable. However, finding hardworking, dedicated staff has proven to be a challenge in our current society. It takes unique individuals willing to do physical labor during the heat of summer (or during the cold of fall and spring), travel away from friends and family, and stick with it for years to gain the master skills necessary to work independently or run a crew with no input. Few young people enter this industry, and seeing rare diamonds among the few is rare. Are we seeking a Log Master? Yes, and if you know of someone, send them to our article ‘Seeking Future Log Masters.’ There are several benefits to becoming a Log Master Employee.

Hiring Subcontractors Crews in Your Area

Do we hire subcontractors? Yes, we do. While we do try to hire staff to put on our payroll, many experienced in this industry prefer subcontracting. It allows them to dictate which jobs they will do and when. Just so you know, they must have years of experience in log home restoration with referrals, means of travel and towing, carry adequate insurance, and have tools and equipment expected for a log home restoration. Otherwise, they’d only qualify for apprenticeship in Spring.

Subcontractor Benefits

The benefits of hiring subcontractors are manifold. Aside from the previously mentioned subcontractor preference, it allows us to find contractors closer to your residence and save on the travel contract’s expenses. What’s more, our list of contractors is constantly growing, making it easier to meet the needs of more log homeowners. Additionally, with our project manager overseeing the progress and getting daily feedback, log cabin owners can rest easy having a quality control list that thoroughly goes over every step of the restoration process and what to expect. The project manager is also there to explain each step and be available for any issues that could arise, whether from the homeowner or crews.

Vetting Subcontract Crews

All subcontracting crews have been thoroughly vetted, insured up to $2 million, and carry worker’s compensation. Additionally, during the first year, we have an experienced project manager from Log Masters on-site to ensure the process meets the high standards that customers have come to depend upon. Our commitment to quality work is unwavering. ‘Why Do Log Home Restoration Companies Hire Subcontractors‘ can help you find the answers to that question. Have a hard working log home restoration crew, but don’t want the hassle of business administration, then check out ‘Calling All Log Home Subcontractors.‘

Can you work at these heights? Not many people can overcome their fear, much less work at these heights. Our skilled professional Log Masters can media blast at almost any height your log home reaches. We always use OSHA Safety procedures, and we are insured in case of any accidents, so the homeowner avoids any work-related liability.

Thank You for Your Understanding and Patience

We appreciate your understanding and patience as we expand. Our commitment to providing top-quality restoration and maintenance services remains steadfast, and we look forward to serving even more customers in our new locations.

Stay tuned for more updates, and thank you for being a valued part of the Log Masters Restorations community!

Creative Cabin Decoration Ideas: Beyond Moose and Bear

When decorating your cabin, the classic images of bears and moose often come to mind. While these themes bring a rustic charm and a touch of wilderness, cabin décor can be much more versatile and personalized, creating a space that is uniquely yours and designed for comfort.

Now, don’t get me wrong. There’s nothing wrong with bear and moose themes, but if you are looking for an original look from everyone who owns a cabin, you came to the right article. At Log Masters Restorations, your cabin should reflect your unique style and preferences, creating a cozy retreat that feels like home. If you want to order cabin decorations and see something you like in this article, head to Ozark Cabin Decor to order it today!

Personal Touches

Your cabin should reflect your personality. You can display family photos, travel souvenirs, and photos, or hang up some of your sporting gear with a framed picture of you using them. A map of the state with the trails you’ve hiked marked. These personal touches make your cabin uniquely yours and create a welcoming environment for you and your guests. To avoid being cliche, consider the following suggestions:

Enhance Your Home’s Aesthetic Charm

Nature-Inspired Decor

Instead of sticking to the usual animal motifs, consider drawing inspiration from the broader beauty of nature. Potted plants is a great way to bring nature into the cabin. Incorporate elements like tree branches, pinecones, precious stones, and wildflowers into your decorations. Twig wreaths, pinecone centerpieces, crystals, fossils, antlers, or floral prints can add a touch of elegance while maintaining that natural feel. A simple pinecone can be spray painted and used in a variety of ways. With a little ingenuity, you could use branches from the forest to make a mason jar chandelier. Consider the powerful elements of fire, water, air, and earth in your plans for maximum impact. Our friends at Ozark Cabin Decor have a wide selection of natural decor to choose from and ship to you. See a few below.

An easy craft is plant pressing; take leaves or flowers from the forest, press flat to dry (many use book pressing) and place them in a picture frame. To make them more unique, write the plant name and pick location below it. The advantage of embracing creative nature decor is its affordability; much of the decor can be resourced on a nature trip. Just make sure you know the natural resource collection limits for your area. For more ideas, consider these I found on Pinterest.

Vintage and Antique Finds

Enhance the character of your cabin with antique pieces. Old lanterns, kitchen gadgets from before electricity, rustic wooden furniture, and vintage signs can create a charming, nostalgic atmosphere. Visit local thrift shops or antique stores to find unique items that tell a story and add warmth to your space. One of my favorite things to do is thrift shop while traveling. It’s like looking for lost treasures and makes for interesting stories that reference our trips.

General Expectations of a Log Master

Modern Rustic Blend

This accent will be perfect for your rustic cabin, lodge, ranch, or country-style home.

Combine modern elements with rustic charm to give cabin décor a contemporary twist. This is one of my favorite ways to decorate. Pair sleek furniture with clean lines with natural wood and stone. Use neutral color palettes and add pops of color with cushions, throws, or artwork to create a harmonious and stylish look. You can also consider incorporating leather and fur accents.

Artisan Crafts and Handmade Items

Explore the town your cabin resides in and support local artisans by incorporating handmade crafts into your décor. Items like pottery, handwoven rugs, and handcrafted wooden items not only add a personal touch but also support the local community. For rental cabins, consider attaching their business card to the item or keep a binder with where you purchased the art pieces for visitors. These items often have a unique charm that mass-produced goods can’t replicate.

Seasonal Decor

Rotate your cabin decorations with the seasons. In the fall, incorporate pumpkins, gourds, and autumn leaves. For winter, add cozy blankets, fairy lights, pinecone branches, and snowflake decorations. Bring in the spring by adding potted tulip bulb plants, hanging plants and herbs, or pick some wildflowers or dog wood for a vase on the dining table. This not only keeps your cabin feeling fresh but also allows you to celebrate the changing seasons in style.

In Conclusion

Decorating your cabin is an opportunity to showcase your creativity and personal style. By thinking beyond the traditional bear and moose motifs, you can create a space that is both beautiful and uniquely yours.
