M. Curtis McCoy★★★★★ 5.0 out of 5Verified Google review

Ben and his team are top notch professionals. They eased our concerns, educated us, and guided us through the process of building and finishing our dream log cabin near Ridgway. Couldn’t be more pleased with the end result. Can’t recommend them enough. FYI- the owner (Ben) was always on the job site monitoring progress and even getting his hands dirty at times to get the job done. You can see he truly cares about his projects. You just don’t see that anymore!?

Brad S★★★★★ 5.0 out of 5Verified Google review

Before we chose frontier we looked at aproxamently 8 other companies. The staff was courteous, knowledgeable and very helpful. They thoroughly explained each step. I would recommend them to anyone considering a log home. Once the home was erected on our site they continued to be very helpful with our questions. I give them an A+.
