If you want someone responsible overseeing your new build, Legacy North is the one to go with.

We started construction of our log home just before pandemic mandates were implemented barring the construction of homes if footings hadn’t been poured yet. With a day or two to spare before the deadline, the owners of Legacy North impressively used their local connections to coordinate a team of excavators, surveyors, and foundation contractors to lot clear, pin, and pour our foundation footings all in one day. Within a few months, construction restrictions were lifted and there was a construction boom in our area. Supply costs quickly inflated, and tradespeople became hard to schedule.

Despite this, Steve kept our project moving forward. A problem would arise but Steve would always come up with practical solutions. With his vast experience in the industry, it seems even a pandemic couldn’t faze him.

Steve is a natural leader. He is dependable, is an excellent communicator, and is attentive to detail. He cares about his work, and even more importantly, he cares about you.

If you want someone responsible overseeing your new build, Steve from Legacy North is the one to go with.
