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.
