One of the main reasons for purchasing our log

home from StoneMill was their commitment to

assisting with the construction of our home.

StoneMill’s recommendation of Creekside

Construction was a big help and Creekside

offered a level of service that couldn’t be found

anywhere else. The crew was very polite and

courteous. They were concerned with making

sure that our home was erected to our utmost

satisfaction. I am very pleased with the level

of service provided by Creekside Construction.
