We did quite a bit of research on log homes before selecting Zook, based on their great floor plans, innovative design features, and excellent customer reviews. Building any home is a long, tedious and stressful exercise, but Matt Albrecht was an absolutely indispensable resource throughout. I had literally hundreds of questions throughout the process, and in each instance, Matt produced the information I was looking for, usually the same day. I can safely say that we would never have been able to bring this process to a conclusion without his help. Massachusetts has some of the most stringent building codes in the country, requiring many hours of custom design modifications, but Zook met every code requirement. These cabins are incredibly efficient and well-insulated, and we expect our total energy costs to heat and cool to be under $100/month. Once the cabin arrived, the setup crew went to work and with amazing speed, assembled our cabin into a little jewel. They work with great precision, even going so far as to caulk every single joint where any air could leak. Our building inspector commented that, in the over 20 modular homes he’d inspected, our Zook cabin was about the strongest and best designed model he had ever seen. The assembly tolerances were so good that when the cabin was set on our foundation, the perimeter of the outer walls never varied more than 1/16″ from the outer foundation walls. As we approach our move-in date, we’re very excited to get settled in to our new dream home in the secluded woods of our little town. We’re very grateful to Zook for making the whole process manageable for us to bring off without the help of a General Contractor.
