To Dave and all the staff at DBD,

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 DBD Log 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. We would recommend you to anyone wanting to build a log home.

Sincerely,
Shauna and Bill Vandenberg

Dear Dave and Barb,

We thank you very much for a job well done. It was fun working with you guys. Right from the very first log you put up, I knew it was going to look nice. You are hard working bunch of guys, very skilled and professional. You put our cabin up on time and on budget too. Once again, thanks and keep up the good work.

Dear Dave and Barb,

In Aug 2007 we purchased a lake lot in the Cariboo. Then we decided that we would like to build a log house. We drove around the 100 Mile House Area stopping at log home builders. All the places that we stopped at handed us a pamphlet and said give them a call if we were interested. Then on our way back to our lot we came upon DBD Log Homes. So we stopped expecting another pamphlet, thats when we met Dave. We explained that we were looking to build a log home and Dave asked us
some questions. From the look on our faces I'm sure Dave realized that we knew nothing about log homes so he took us into his yard and showed the types of logs and notches etc. Dave took an hour and half out of his day to show us the projects he was working on. When we left the yard he gave us his card and told us to call if we had any more
questions. After deciding on a floor plan we then contacted Dave and he helped us get the blue prints done, gave
us a price and the project was a go. We never did get a second price on our home as we felt satisified that
the price was a fair price. Dave , Barb and all their crew were excellent to deal with. During the building process Barb emailed
pictures to show how the house was advancing. The whole log home experience was a very pleasant one.
We love our log home and glad that we stopped at DBD Log Homes that day.

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.

Dealing with Dave and Barb was a pleasure.
It's good to know that honest people are still around. I would DEFINITELY recommend DBD for any type of contruction project!

To Dave, Barb and staff at DBD Log Homes:

Last fall we went to DBD Log Homes building site at Lone Butte, B.C. With a rough drawing of a building in my hand, I spoke to Dave Ohrling. "Dave, can you build us a log cabin" I asked. We gave him the mesurements. His answer was yes. "I have a georgeours view of Puntzi Lake with the mountains in the background, and I just want the cabin to be simple and pretty," I said. Dave said "I will build you a pretty cabin".

Well , the cabin is beautiful, the workmanship is superb and the crew was a pleasure. We are so pleased and would, and have, recommended your company to anyone looking to have a log home built.

Sincerely,
Ken and Johann Miller

The Finished Product

These are the beautiful examples of how our clients have chosen to finish their homes. The attention to detail is obviously continued in the homes long after the log shells have left the DBD Log Home yard.

There are many different styles of homes, colors of stains and choices of finishing products, but when the log shell is a DBD log shell, any finishing choice looks beautiful."
