Testimonials

Schafer and Edgewood are experts at creating confidence. When they design their own projects they create wonderful designs and execute them brilliantly. When they construct one of my designs the end product Is better than the design I created. The architect knows about quality finish but the seasoned Tradesman knows far more than the Architect. Schafer is an expert at bringing out the best results. The Architect/Builder relationship is the most critical requirement for achieving a “Better Than Designed” end-product. In my opinion......It is the ONLY way!"

“Our architect originally designed our condominium complex to blend in with similar projects in the area. After discovering Brian and his team, we asked him to take the plans and redesign them to create a more impressive visual impact. Our construction schedule was tight however Big Cabin met and exceeded all of our scheduling, budget and quality goals. Our sales were brisk and at a significantly higher price per square foot thanks to our relationship with Big Cabin.”

“My partner and I purchased the project after the first developer had gone bankrupt. Not wanting to make the same mistakes they had, we sought out a more intelligent approach to building an upscale ski-in/out authentic full log commercial project. We sent word out for referrals, did internet research, and interviewed log home companies. An old friend of mine told me about a company in Idaho that had impressed him.

In hiring Edgewood to help us redesign and plan the project for success, we found a wealth of practical knowledge and expertise. Additionally their “hands-on” approach on-site proved invaluable when coupled with the very sophisticated and creative design horsepower they brought to the table. Their methods proved to not only be highly cost-effective, but very authentic and desirable to our future owners. Simply put, if we had not found Edgewood, we would likely have suffered the same fate at the first developer.”

“Edgewood’s unique log building approach provided a beautiful wall system that was simple to put together and even allowed for changes on site. Everyone that has come into our home comments on the unbelievable joinery displayed in the handcrafted log work. In fact, our building inspector said, ‘that is the most beautiful log home in Summit County, Colorado.”

“Brian and his team worked in a collaborative environment with our architect to specify and design incredibly detailed connections and joinery, resulting in visually impactful log trusses and columns. Our guests and clients constantly comment on the unique architecture and use of log/timber/metal in our recreation center and lodge.”

"Our family long dreamed of a fishing cabin in the backcountry. Researching architects and log packages, Brian’s Edgewood Log Homes was at the top of the list for two reasons. The first reason was that his designs were reminiscent of classic western lodges also incorporating window elements to capture outside views. The second reason was that Brian’s log package approach limited shrinkage while utilizing big logs with hand-hewn characteristics. Working with Brian through final design and construction, we were pleased that he was always available and patiently answered our numerous questions. Ever diligent to the smallest details and finish selections, we grew to rely on his experience as we faced many choices to complete the project. When we started the project we hoped the final product would be a place to enjoy extended family time.

With Brian’s big logs, stunning views, and attention to classic details it is all that and more, it is spectacular. We thank Brian and his team for helping us realize our dream, one that will delight many of our generations to come."
