Homeowners

"Through all the rain we had this year, we never had a drop of it in the basement.  Our experience with Woodmaster has been 100% positive.  The crew was fast, efficient and professional, the finished product is very livable, and the price was competitive with block.  We think this is the only way to go."  Don Domonoske:  Waterville, MN

"At first we were very skeptical and hesitant.  Now after more than 20 years in our home we still feel it was the best decision we could have made."   Lyle Blair:  Paton, IA

"No matter how much more a wood foundation was versus a poured foundation, it was well worth the extra cost.  Even on cold winter days, the basement is warm and there is only one heat duct open.  The lower level is more comfortable than the second level.  We just love it, and would not consider any other system than yours if we build again."  Craig & Leslie Stephens:  Norwalk, IA

"There has been no dampness or mustiness with the wood like we experienced with block.  We not only have more square feet, but it's costing us less because the walls are ready for electrical, plumbing and sheetrock."  Bob Reid:   Cottage Grove, MN

"The living space in our basement is dry and maintenance free.  I was most impressed with the fact that my foundation walls were level within 1/8" across a span of 105' and every corner was square.  My experience with your company was the best of any I had during the construction of my house."  Jim Willcutt:  Mississippi

"My builder was especially pleased with the accuracy of final dimensions and how "true" the foundation was for capping.  This was his first wood foundation and he found he had little or no adjustment to make versus his usual conventional concrete foundations."  Steve Wilson:  River Falls, WI

"People who come to our home are truly amazed at the cozy and comfortable felling of the living space in the lower level.  We are happy to report that we had no problems with water in the lower level after getting lots of rainfall last year!  Many of our neighbors experienced flooded basements that ruined carpet and furniture."  Bill & Rose Scheremet:  Webster, MN

"From a customer perspective, your company rates at the high end for customer satisfaction.  I have encountered different problems with almost all my subcontractors in some way or another.  Your company, along with one other contractor, have been my only smooth flow in the construction process.  With all the rain that's been falling recently (and since the foundation was built) not a drop has found its way into our home."  J. Uldrych:  River Falls, WI

"After the foundation and home were completed, I wanted to test just how much moisture or dampness there might be in the basement over a long period of time.  To do this, I surface ground eight pieces of cold rolled steel to remove all oils and surface containments from the steel, leaving a surface that would be very prone to rust if moisture were present in the basement.  I am very pleased to report to you that after SEVEN years in the basement there is no sign of rust on any of the pieces of steel."  Robert Scoville:  New Richmond, WI

We are appreciative of the excellent work that was completed by Woodmaster.  The framers confirmed that the house was square within 1/4".  The basement is just like the upstairs in our home.  It is warm, dry and comfortable."  Bruce Zoeller:  Louisville, KY

"The foundation is dry and comfortable.  There has not been one drop of moisture in the lower level."  Bob & Toots Ostrich:  Nevada, IA

"The first spring and summer we spent in our house was the wettest summer in the history of this area.  Every day as the rains fell we fearfully journeyed to the basement to see if this was the day that the water would be seeping in, and every day it was bone dry.  Not only has it remained dry, it has never been damp or musty smelling as concrete basements seem to get."  Thanks again for an excellent product and great service."  Thomas & Patricia Smith:  Callaway, NE

    Contractors / Inspectors

"In 1986 we switched from building PWFs on site with our crews to using the panelized system from Woodmaster Foundations, Inc.  Using their system gave us additional quality control and timesavings.  I would be happy to serve as a reference to any builder or homebuyer that has questions about using a Permanent Wood Foundation.  It's been a tremendous asset for Pratt Homes."  Lowell Pratt:  White Bear Lake, MN

"I deeply appreciate the cooperation, attitude, friendliness and workmanship shown by everyone we met from Woodmaster.  Being a general contractor has its challenges, but never have I experienced a major subcontractor that met all its scheduled milestones and commitments.  I learned very quickly that your crews would be on site at their appointed times."  Bill Gorham:  Roberts, WI

"I want to take this opportunity to let you know what a pleasure it is to offer our customers a dry comfortable alternative to a damp cold basement.  A Woodmaster Foundation System is perfect.  Most people building log homes these days intend to use the basement level for some sort of living space.  It only makes sense to use a foundation that is guaranteed dry therefore warmer and more comfortable.  Woodmaster Foundations are a great value."  Marty Kulak:  Hager City, WI

"It is rare to find a company that consistently performs to such high standard of service and customer satisfaction.  I highly recommend Woodmaster Foundations every chance I get, and value the commitment that your company provides with every foundation you install."  Scott Stroud, Jim Barna Log Systems:  Oneida, TN

Wood rules!  Your Woodmaster Foundation is quality all the way.  We have seen other wood foundations, yours is surpassed by none.  There is no doubt in our minds your wood foundation will hold our Barna Log Home high and dry for generations to come."  Teri & Leo Jeczen, Barna Log Homes:  Algonac, MI

"We enjoy the comfort of a warm, dry, walk out basement.  Down there we have a storage room, where we know nothing will get musty, a bathroom, a shop for wood working and a large family room.  We recommend Woodmaster Foundations to everyone who comes to see our model log home.  We are convinced it is the only way to have a basement."  Larry & Jane Buysman, Wilderness Log Homes:  Sibley, IA

"Nancy and I just wanted to thank you for helping us make the right decision about the foundation for our new home here in Marshalltown.  We are totally sold on the Woodmaster Foundation and wood basement floor system.  They really work."  Jake & Nancy Rockman, Distinctive Homes:  Marshalltown, IA

"Woodmaster Foundations are the best there are.  If you have them, then you don't ever need to worry.  Their Permanent Wood Foundation System is perfect because you have no moisture, no heating or cooling loss and instant living space.   Cement construction encourages water to come into your building."   Lawrence Morrical, structural inspector:  Lake County, IL

"After working on the carpentry on this building I have been praising your foundation, not just for the inherent advantages of wood foundations, but also the high quality of your workmanship.  This is without a doubt the finest foundation I have ever built on.  I rarely praise any subcontractor and never before with the unqualified vigor I have been praising your work.  You guys make this building and my company look good."  Sam Frangos:  Grayslake, IL

Realtors

"It has been our experience that homes with wood basements have not had a negative impact on the value of the home.  People that have had wood basements will build their next home with a wood basement."  Harold Mackenthun, Results Marketing:  Apple Valley, MN

"It has been my experience that a professionally installed wood foundation creates a more comfortable lower level, thus adding value to the home.  I have a Woodmaster Foundation System (with a wood basement floor) under my own home, and I can't imagine building another home without it."  Frank Mayzlik, Coldwell Banker Burnett Realty:  Rochester, MN

"We've found that the PWF is actually a premium benefit that makes the house more valuable than a conventional home when it goes on the market."  Dave Hiniker, St. Croix Realty:  Prescott, WI
