"We lost some shingles after a big storm in April. We called and they got out there quickly and replaced the shingles - and didn't try to sell us a new roof! In the past everyone we talked to for this type of problem did a strong pitch to replace the whole roof, even though it's only 7-8 years old! We'll definitely be back to Supreme when we have the need again!"

"I would NOT recommend at all, especially for the amount of money charged, the disruption it caused with me and my husband’s work schedule, the length of time it took to finally get the project complete. A project like this is suppose to get you happy and excited to see the finishing project. I feel like we waited so long to redo our kitchen and it was ruined by this experience & taken for our $$$. This caused nothing but stress, headaches and lots of wasted time on the phone going back and forth, still with unresolved issues and no callback. I was told the whole project would take 5 days,(Cabinets & countertops). It took over a month, they had to come back several times due to the sloppy work, (even the 2nd installer made comments and shook his head, in disbelief -in how things looked), measurements were not correct, drawers were not aligned and put back properly, then they had to cut my drawers, making smaller in size to fit and look half way decent, excessive amounts of glue left, missing parts, mistakes by the installers, equipment left behind. I was also under the assumption workers were employees not 3rd party contractors, which was sent! Due to so many set backs, it was finally done days before Thanksgiving, therefore unable to host last minute- due to all the repeated deep cleaning needed from all the sawdust. We also were asked for payment way before the project was done. The ladies in the office were always nice, the sales guy was nice,but the production team/supervisors or bosses do not respond & after all the mishaps the installers attitude & energy changed. I will say our kitchen looks better than it did, but expected more for what we paid."

Guest house building services FAQs
In terms of construction, a log home and a stick‑built house often cost about the same. For example, a 1,500‑square‑foot cabin runs roughly $187,500 to $262,500. The price differences come from design choices and labor. Quality logs, complex rooflines, and specialty finishes add up, while a simple plan using local materials keeps costs close to those of a conventional build. Understanding these variables helps you decide whether a log structure meets both your style and budget.
Modern prefab kits streamline the build, but the upgraded finishes and design features mean they sit at the upper end of cabin pricing. You’re paying for precision cuts, insulated panels, and shorter build times, all of which raise the per‑square‑foot cost. While kits can still save on labor, expect the total price to fall within the higher range compared to a basic shell, especially if you choose premium add-ons or request design tweaks.
In many markets, building is the more budget‑friendly option. Purchasing a finished cabin means paying for someone else’s upgrades, profit margin, and often a prime‑location markup. When you build, you control the site, layout, and materials, allowing you to adjust costs as needed. Owners also tend to see a more substantial return on investment (ROI) at resale, particularly when the cabin is situated on ample land. Be sure to factor in land, permits, and any unexpected site work costs before making a decision.
The timeline for building a cabin depends on the design and site conditions. A prefab kit assembled on a prepared lot can be ready in a few weeks. A custom build on raw land—with clearing, utilities, and bespoke details—usually runs eight to nine months. Weather, material lead times, and permit approvals can extend the schedule, so budget for extra time when planning. Working with an experienced builder who lines up subcontractors early helps keep the project on track.
As cabins grow, the per‑square‑foot rate often stays steady, but the overall bill rises quickly. A compact footprint still needs a foundation, roof, and systems, so smaller cabins can feel more expensive per square foot than larger builds. Larger cabins, meanwhile, consume far more material, so even at $125 to $175 per square foot, the total cost rises quickly. Pinpoint your must‑have square footage before signing off on final plans.
Log cabins require more maintenance than conventional houses. Expect to inspect the exterior annually, clean and reseal it every three to five years, and address moisture issues promptly. The payoff for that extra care is longevity and character, but if you skip routine maintenance, small problems—like sun‑bleached logs or minor leaks—can turn into costly repairs. Budget both time and money for preservation to keep the cabin looking sharp and structurally sound.
