The Schoen Home

From the Wall of Dreams Come True...

Hi Mary! I have been meaning to drop you a note for nearly 2 weeks now but we were so caught up with our wonderful home building project. We drove upstate on June 12th & went straight to the property, abandoning our plans for a vacation in Vermont as we couldnt wait any longer to see the progress Ethan & Sam (our excavator) had made.

Both Rob & I were so emotional on our first sighting. We parked the car at the bottom of the driveway & chose to walk up Everest! We turned the last bend & there it was - absolutely fabulous! Attached are a couple of pictures. We just love it! It is nowhere near finished but it is now so real, so marvellous & so fantastically exciting...........words fail me.

Our living room has one heck of a view! Everyone that has been up there comments on it after their steep ascent. Robert & I both want to pass on our thanks for all the help & support that you, JoAnn & your team have given to Ethan & our project overall. Your contribution has made life much easier from our perspective.... 3000 miles away. Also we cant speak highly enough of Ethan & his team. We have contacted & met with Bob Granger - he is one passionate solar guy! We hope to investigate further the options available from his company as they seem really cost-effective & sensible.Well that's it for now.
Kind regards,

Helen

A testimonial of thanks

"A full year has passed from the day we broke ground and our dream home is almost completed. It took twenty years of dreaming, planning, and a lot of back breaking work to get us to where we are today. We realized a long time ago that only a log home would do justice to this beautiful land and our dream started to evolve. We began looking at log homes from various manufacturers. When you showed us the Beaver Mountain's Scottsdale, our search ended. It was love at first sight!

Thank you for the big part you played in our final decision. Thanks to your interest, your help, your patience, and your competence, you made this a very pleasant experience. The promptness with which your architects responded and gracefully blended all the design changes that my wife and I requested made our home truly attractive. We are now proud owners of what I call an intelligent home: simple, beautiful, efficient, without a single inch of wasted space.

You have, in addition, fully explained all the options and materials to the point that if I had to do it all over again I would not change a single thing. Finally you have delivered everything you said you would deliver right down to the last 2x4. Your support people were always courteous, prompt, and shared in our excitement.

Living in it is a real treat. A dream that became a dream home.

It is true that log homes are not for everyone but it is also true that they are not only for the privileged few. For the most part they belong to average people like us who could dream and were will to work for it. Our thanks to all of you!" -Mr. Buongiourno

"There are so many other reasons we should complement Beaver Mountain, but I think the most resounding compliments come from the contractors we had on the project. Our builder was constructing a Beaver Mountain Log Home for the first time after constructing many others from different manufacturers. He was skeptical about the precut package. He isn't any more. He thought they would have to make numerous field adjustments...not one. He's hooked. We heard it over and over from the roofer in the beginning to the gutter installer last week. 'Who made this house?' 'I have never worked on a log home this well built.' 'This house is so square!' And my personal favorite, 'This house is top-quality; it must have cost a fortune.' So we have been taking your compliments for you with a smile and a 'yeah, we know.'

With a sincere thank you, thank you, thank you for everything.
Tracy and Denise

One Couple's Log Home Journey...Part 2

Part 1

"This is the largest investment we have made and years of hearing what happened the this person or that person...I really was waiting for disaster to strike. Then there was the beam through the cathedral space that wasn't supposed to be there. We went by the job site on a Saturday afternoon to find this beam installed where we did not want a beam at all. Queue the drama...

I called Chris bright and early Monday; he remembered us expressing we did not want the beam. We talked with Mike and two new logs were milled and delivered to the site the next day! I was blown-away, what was that? That is the Beaver Mountain experience. I went from crazy person to completely relaxed after that moment for the rest of the project. We knew we were in good hands. It felt like we had all the assurance in the world that this was going to be exactly the house we dreamed about. Oh, and it is."

One Couple's Log Home Journey...Part 1

"To the whole Beaver Mountain Team,

On paper in a few paragraphs it is hard to communicate how we truly feel about our experience with Beaver Mountain, but I will try. Denise and I spent six years researching, clipping articles, and visiting log home companies throughout New England and New York. We really thought our mind was made up with another company before we came to the mountain. Where else were we going to see four homes in one spot? So we went and then we went again and one more time...Beaver Mountain changed our minds.

After spending years pouring over information and floor plan after floor plan, John and Chris fit all our 'must-haves' into an amazing home that we call 'Evergreen'.

The customer service we received is, honestly, beyond words. From the first 'Hello' to 'JoAnn, are these trucks going to make it up the driveway?' we felt like Beaver Mountain was there to help...."

The Sanzone Home

Joe and Monica Sanzone graciously shared these pictures of their Beaver Mountain home. "Although construction was complete in July 2004, everyday we arrive home is just as exciting as the day we moved in. The wonderful feeling we have for our home has yet to subside!" By looking at the following photos, it is obvious why.
