      Overall, a very pleasant experience. I went into this knowing that a custom home would always have a few speed bumps. There were some material shortages on the initial delivery that I had to source locally, such as some subfloor decking boards and framing material. All calls were handled promptly and the issue resolved. I wound up having to eat about 2000 dollars for the shortages, but that was my fault for NOT checking my bill of ladings at the time of delivery and becoming aware of shortages until the materials were needed. My base package was on site for about 4 weeks prior to the start of construction due to permitting issues with the county. Mike Mabry and Thomas Mabry were upfront with the costs of the build and kept me involved every step of the way, allowing me to do my own site clearing and grade out. There were some cost overages due to having to adjust for site issues, additional concrete and finishing changes as the project progressed. I was never kept out of the loop and knew what was coming at the end of every construction week. Most of my issues came with our local building inspectors that appeared to be winging it with log home inspection, like requiring additional civil engineer inspections and additional permits.

      Southland's team and my selection on contractor were very easy to deal with. The Mabry's were the only build team on their list that were willing to build in my county and I was very glad they did. If I ever build another log home, I will use them.

      Our Southland log cabin was built 10 years ago in 2013. Ten years later we can vouch for the superior products that went into the construction of our home. Everything, and everyone, involved in the home design, product delivery, construction and financing were utmost professionals. We selected the business partners associated with Southland Log homes and all the companies worked seamlessly together. Recently, our builder came by just to check how our home had settled in the last 10 years. Our house is solid as a rock - in 10 years there was only 1/16 of inch difference in the foundation placement of the original build. That’s because of the amazing craftsmanship of the log package we purchased from Southland. We 1000% recommend this company to anyone considering building a log home.

      Southland did a great job . But the contractor got $50,000 of my money for nothing . All he done was made some phone calls that I could have done . I had to pay all the Sub-contractors , and I had to get all the permits in my name . So he was not responsable for nothing but he got 20% on top of everything . So do not deal with Bova

      Southland was a pleasure to work with to bring our dream of a cabin in the mountains of Western Maryland to fruition in 2018. Dorthy was very helpful through the many adjustments we made. Longer windows facing the lake, 2 foot bump out on 2 sides and scissor trusses to provide vaulted ceilings. All changes she helped us make without a hitch. The kit arrived just as ordered. Turnaround on a damaged Anderson window was fast!
      Also, a very generous signing bonus of a free (materials) 2 car garage. The builder we contacted with off of the Southland suggested list knew his trade well. Had built a Southland cabin for himself. Although, there were times we had to remind him who he was building our cabin for. Very opinionated as some builders can be.
      Big thank you to Dorthy with Southland for helping us to realize our dream.
