This was our first experience with a custom home construction, and we were understandably nervous. We had many different ideas about what our log home would look like. Bruce and the entire team were receptive to all of our ideas. We retained an architect and Gingrich Builders not only had no problems bringing those concepts to reality, but also contributed their advice based on years of experience.

The end result was the creation of our forever home, a rustic, elegant, and functional. It is rare to find a family custom log home builder in a field of large company kit builders who offer no room for changes. Thank you to Gingrich Builders for making our dream come true!

We lost our home to a fire and God lead us to Gingrich Log Homes to build us a new home. Living in our Gingrich built log home feels like being on vacation every single day, with all the comforts of being at home! They are good, kind, God fearing, righteous and honest folk with the higest integrity. I can't imagine a better company or better people to work with. God bless you all! Tim & Wendy Zimmerman

We had an amazingly positive experience working with Gingrich Builders to build a log cabin on our property in Lebanon county. Bruce and his team were always professional, courteous and went above and beyond to work with us. They were trustworthy and true throughout the build process, and their subcontractors were just a easy and respectful to work with. I cannot say enough good things about their company and our experience. 5 stars + for the whole team. We are grateful that we found such a good company to work with, and we enjoy our cabin now year round! Thank you Bruce, Tim, and the whole team!.

I am thrilled with my beautiful log home! Gingrich Builders turned my plans and dreams for a unique, custom log home into a stunning reality. Bruce, Todd, Tim and the entire crew were responsive, attentive, thorough, courteous and professional every step of the way. Their talented craftsmanship, competence and creativity were demonstrated throughout the entire process beginning with the initial meetings to discuss and finalize design and continuing through every single aspect of construction. They were incredibly easy to work with and it was a very pleasant experience from start to finish! They are truly second to none! Thank you Gingrich Builders for an amazing home!

This review is long over due. Gingrich Builders built our custom log home in 2019. Throughout the whole process they were exceptional professionals. They were honest, transparent, trustworthy, and second to none. Bruce guided us through the building project start to finish and was in constant communication with us. The entire crew is dedicated, hardworking, meticulous, and knowledgable. Not to mention the craftsmanship and attention to detail is stunning.

It has been almost two years since our build was finished but Bruce, Tim, and Todd quickly answer and questions or address any concerns that may arise. When you are a customer of Gingrich Builders it is not just for the duration of the project, it is for a lifetime. Bruce, Tim, Todd and the Gingrich Crew have become an extended part of our family. They are truly amazing professionals and individuals. We would recommend them without reservation for your log home, restoration, or any of the other services they offer.

Not only do they do beautiful work, their customer service is next to none! Outstanding! We could not be happier with their work and our new home! Todd and Bruce were great to work with. They stayed within our quoted budget and stayed right on the construction and move in time line that they provided us. They communicated wonderfully throughout the process and were readily available any time of the day for any questions we had.

They even worked hard to accommodate an earlier move in date when our current house went under contract sooner then we expected! If you are looking for a new home, don't even consider going anywhere else! 5 stars all the way around!
