Skookum Log Care is owned and operated by Dana Crowe, who started the business after apprenticing with a number of experts in this fieldj. Traveling extensively through BC and Alberta, Dana realized that there was a real need in these regions for her highly specialized skills. The number of log homes owners is constantly increasing, but many of these people aren't aware of the specialized care that a log home needs.

Dana has a real passion for the natural beauty inherent in wood and as such focuses on preservation, maintenance and restoration techniques which enhance rather than mask the unique characteristics of each and every log. Approaching each project as a custom job, Dana takes into careful consideration the weather, climate, history and the usage of your home, in order to recommend the most appropriate procedures and products.

Another major consideration is the impact the processes and procedures have on both Dana's crew and on the environment.

"Unlike what our grandparents had to rely on, we now have a number of new products to choose from which not only preserve and protect logs better than ever, but leave a minimal impact on the environment. And it just makes sense to use products that aren't harmful to me or my crew's health."

No longer only the domain of trappers and ranchers, today you are as likely to find a log home in the woods as you are in an urban setting.

"I love the variety and challenge each new project brings. It doesn't matter if it's a little cabin which has been in a family for generations, or if it's a grand ski chalet--my goals remain the same; to make sure that home is around for people to enjoy well into the future."
