Services
Log Homes
We build handcrafted log homes from small cabins to resort estates. Using carefully selected logs, we offer Swedish Cope, Dovetail, or Round Notch chink styles. Our team works with architects and contractors to ensure quality construction that meets international standards. Local clients receive on-site assembly, while out-of-area projects include supervision for proper installation.
Timber Framing
Approximately half our projects involve timber framing. We create traditional structural frames and decorative appliqus using kiln-dried or reclaimed timber for maximum stability. Our craftsmen combine time-tested techniques with modern engineering to produce durable, aesthetically pleasing structures that complement various architectural styles.
Log Railing
We produce and install thousands of linear feet of custom log railing annually. Using Lodge-pole pine or Eastern Red Cedar, we offer bark-on or hand-peeled finishes. Our railings combine natural beauty with durability, available in various stain options. We provide prefabrication services or on-site installation for Colorado clients in specified counties.
Log Restoration
Our restoration services include inspections, cleaning, media blasting, and structural repairs. We apply specialized preservatives and sealants from Perma-Chink and Sashco to protect against Colorado's harsh climate. Our maintenance program includes annual inspections to identify potential issues early, extending the life of log structures through proactive care.
Chinking & Sealing
We apply professional chinking and sealing solutions to protect log structures from weather damage. Our certified technicians use premium products from Perma-Chink Systems and Sashco to create durable, weather-resistant finishes. This service maintains structural integrity while preserving the natural appearance of log homes through proper staining and sealing techniques.

For the past 10 yearsTop Notch has always gotten the job done on time and done it right for me. If your looking for any type of log work these guys are great. They've built gates, repaired gates and fixed numerous signs for the community I manage. Dave's bids are always competitive and the crew is TOP NOTCH, Pun intended.
