Dear Robert,
It is still bard to believe that from three pieces of typing paper with hand drawn house plans on them, we have the beginnings of a beautiful log home. After dreaming of a log home for many years and
attending log home shows and talking to several other companies we are so glad that we finally found your company to help us construct our home.
Your help and guidance has been great and Mike, (the supervisor that came with the home), was very knowledgeable and easy to work with. He had patience and explained each step to us, and at one time it seemed like an International work site with all the different accents on the job site.
Our log home has been very popular with many visitors stopping to view its beauty, all including us cannot wait to see the finished product.
Thank you again,
Sincerely,
George & Helen Machtolff |

Robert,
In a world of so much mediocrity with little pride in one’s work, Summit has exceeded my expectations. In construction, it is all about people and relationships, and I should also complement Dave Jardine, your onsite supervisor and your consultants Jay Adams and Cyril Courtois who contributed immensely to the success of the project.
Summit helped to make a challenging project manageable with professional and responsive service. When issues arose there was always a willingness to find a solution. When field conditions required corrections, changes were made…even at your expense.
The quality of the logs and work product is superior; treatment, finishing, cuts, and fitting of the logs are all a work of art and a credit to the men behind the chainsaws.
We are proud of the result and know that it will be enjoyed by our guests in the coming years.
Congratulations on a job well done!

Dear Robert,
 Thank you for the fabulous 10,000 s.f. log home your company designed and built for me. In Jackson Hole, Wyoming there are over 1,000 log homes, with several hundred of them being ultra high end. I have to say the gorgeous log home you built is like no other I have seen at any price. Your remarkable ability with huge cedar “Latewood” logs creates a beauty that is unmatched.
As a licensed Professional Engineer, with two engineering master’s degrees I must say I am very particular, especially concerning structural integrity. The joinery of your log work produces an amazing fit. Your log crafters are clearly well trained, skilled, and you can tell they love what they do.
As a log home builder and owner of Legendary Log Homes of Jackson Hole Ltd, I was very picky and meticulous selecting a handcrafted log home company. We have been very happy with your design team, your log crafters, and your on-site erection supervisor. At every step your company has not only met, but surpassed my expectations.
Thank you for all the care you put in everything, and thank you for a great log home!
Very sincerely yours,
Bronko Terkovich

Dear Robert Lockerby and Staff,
Tom and I would like to thank you and your staff for the most beautiful home we have ever seen. We have been planning this home for many years before finding your company in Log Home Living Magazine. Your crew was the most helpful and professional staff we have ever worked with.
We could not believe the size of the logs and the beautiful craftsmanship that went into each one as they were craned off the trucks. The Forman, which was sent along with our home to reassemble, was amazing. We again could not thank him enough. It was such a pleasure having him here and our staff could not get over how professional he was and how much knowledge he had of his job.
We can not thank you enough for the amazing home that you built our family. Robert, you were so dedicated to all our questions and concerns. All your help made our dream home a reality Tom and I would highly recommend Summit Handcrafted to anyone; please use our home and names as references. Many thanks to Gemma and crew of Cad Design. Also special thanks to Andy and Lisa Johnson for giving us time to let us visit there home. Thank you again!
Sincerely,
Thomas R. & MaryAnn B. -

Mr. Robert Lockerby
 When my wife Lisa and I decided that we wanted to build our "dream" home, we wanted a log home builder that could meet our highest expectations and standards. We spent three years researching and traveling around the United States and Canada finding a company that we thought could deliver the results we desired. We found exactly that in Summit Handcrafted Log Homes. I am most pleased with their product and customer service. Having been in the custom home business for many years, I know excellent craftsmanship when I see it. Robert continually kept us updated with the process via email and photos. The architect recommended by Robert, located in Canada, made the process remarkably simple, even though we were a thousand miles apart. I am very proud to be associated with this company and look forward to representing them in Arizona. I would highly recommend their product.
Sincerely,
Andy Johnson

Dear Mr. Lockerby,
The log home package with the "Latewood" finished we purchased was fantastic! In the area around Scofield, Utah where we chose to build, we have comments daily about the beauty of the logs. Many people refer to our home as “the home with the beautiful logs”. My wife and I could not be more pleased with your craftsmanship, the design process, and the building of our home. We recommend you to everyone. As you know, we have enjoyed working with you,and we are now going to be repeat customers, with a large Post and Beam garage to complement the log home. We are grateful that we chose Summit Handcrafted Log Homes as you have exceeded our expectations in every way. We can’t wait to see the Post and Beam garage started.
Sincerely,
Kalli and Kade

 I am writing to let you know what I think of your product and company. As you know I am a general contractor and have experience with several other log home manufacturers as well as Summit Handcrafted. I found your package to go together easier and faster, and simpler to integrate standard construction materials. You do more prep work than other log home companies making my part of the job go smooth. We built our own beautiful Summit Handcrafted Log Home 2 years ago and enjoy it thoroughly. In our area we experience cold winters and hot summers, but our home is always comfortable, and our energy bills are low compared to our neighbors. You both are always helpful and honest. I’m proud to be associated with such a reputable company.

Dear Robert
Our log home started out as a dream last year and is now nearing completion. Its beauty and workmanship have definitely exceeded our expectations. Seeing the pictures as the logs were being assembled in Canada did not do justice to the final product. I want to commend and thank your craftsman for the excellent workmanship not only in the construction but in the re-assembly in Red River, New Mexico. We are pleased and amazed at the quality of work that can be accomplished with massive logs and chain saws.
Thanks for the assistance throughout the whole building process and following up afterwards. We'd recommend Summit Handcrafted to anyone. Please use our names as references.
Very truly yours,
Roger P. Balog

Robert,
I'm really excited with your latewood log package! I have been building log homes since 1992 and this is the best and most impressive log package we have ever put together. My employees and I were surprised how Massive the logs were and how well they fit together. I would recommend your company to everyone who is building a log home.
Thanks again,
Ryan Turner (Red Wolf Construction)

Dear Mr. Lockerby,
 Ever since I was a child vacationing in northern Wisconsin, I have dreamed of someday owning my own log home. Many years have come and gone, but my dream and resolve continued. For the past ten years I have studied log home companies, log home designs, and differences between handcrafted and milled log homes. Now, as you know, my dream is finally becoming a reality because of Summit Handcrafted Log Homes.
Working with your design people set this entire project into motion, with professionalism and prompt service. Once the design phase was completed, your staff gave me log shell cost estimates and approximate shell completion dates. I was amazed how your log shell construction crew kept me appraised of the construction progress with periodic email photos. Nothing creates more enthusiasm than those photos!
When my log shell was delivered on those flatbed trucks, I could not believe the craftsmanship that was displayed by each log coming off the trucks. Your re-assembly foreman, Brett, was a very energetic, polite, and professional man who obviously knew the handcrafted log home industry very well. The log shell re-assembly was completed in a mere three days, greatly reducing the time I had seen spent on assembly of milled log shells in our area. That time savings resulted in tremendous savings in labor costs, and allowed my local contractor to "dry in" the home rapidly.
As I stand admiring the detailed craftsmanship and planning that went into my log home, I'm delighted that I used Summit Handcrafted Log Homes. There is a lot of local excitement by surrounding land owners who want to find out more about you and your outstanding product.
Gratefully,
Jim Koschmann, DVM

Out of over 30+ log home builders we have worked with, your company stood out as not only having the best log home company product, but as having genuinely great employees as well. You and Robert are a great team and there is no doubt your company will do very well. Anyone I come in contact with interested in building a log home, you can be assured I'll send them your way.
