THE PEOPLE BEHIND YOUR PROJECT
You'll Know Our Names Before We Start
DKS was built by Don Williams and Megan — a Montana couple who believe your log home deserves the same attention they’d give their own.
Don Williams is on every job site from start to finish, working alongside his crew. Megan handles communication and estimates — she picks up the phone and gets back to you quickly.
- Don Williams personally evaluates every home before any work begins
- Owner present on-site daily — not hands-off management
- Megan responds promptly to all calls and questions
- Both live in Montana and understand what this climate does to logs
We are Members of the Livingston Chambers of Commerce
HOW IT WORKS
Simple Steps to a Restored Log Home
Evaluation
Don Williams performs a thorough on-site inspection, thermal imaging included, to detect hidden moisture and damage before any work begins.
Preparation
Media blasting removes old finishes. Damaged logs are repaired or replaced. Every gap is properly filled and sealed.
Staining & Sealing
Premium stains applied by hand. Each log is coated for deep penetration and lasting protection through Montana winters.
Final Review
We walk the home with you, confirm quality, and can set up a maintenance plan to protect your investment long-term.
