JUTEN GENERAL CONTRACTING

This house was a huge project for all of us. We had not built a house before and the Jutens had not built a large, custom log house before, so, it was a learning curve, the whole way. The log shell was built in Montrose, Colorado, by the Frontier Log Home Company, and we sent one of the Juten contractors out there to meet with the architect and builders. The logs arrived on site in four semis, accompanied by a member of the Colorado team, who supervised the Jutens in putting up the log shell. Over a period of four months the Jutens cut the windows and doors, closed in the shell, built the roof and oversaw and worked with, the sub-contractors. In December, we had used our construction loan and our personal resources and had to stop and move in. The house was finished over the next five years by other individuals. Juten Construction does excellent work, but, at that time, they did not have enough control over their subcontractors and, as most do, the project wound up way over budget. However, that was 22 years ago, and I know they have built many houses since then, and have probably gotten a handle on the financial end.. They are willing to listen to what you want and easy to work with.
