THE CABINSMITHS - Key Persons
Thomas Smith's love affair with log cabins began back when he built one alongside the director from his church camp. Thomas was 15 years of age, and the two of them fit together logs which had been harvested from the property to make a place where the director could retreat to write.
Thomas later got into sales for a major US company that designs and fabricates log cabin kits. In fact, he became the manager for the regional sales center in no time flat. His team was responsible for over $20 million in annual sales.
Built for movement and not satisfied with working behind a desk, Thomas struck out to get his hands into the construction side of things. He went to work for log home builders, where he felt much more comfortable in the fresh air and sunshine, traveling and learning the ins and outs of these very special homes and their construction. But there was still something missing. The jobs were long and kept him from seeing family for months at a time. The builds were dependent on so many subcontractors and outside factors that it detracted from the joy of building.
One season, the crew he normally built with took a restoration job, and Thomas was hooked. He enjoyed the process so much that he decided to make it his full-time work. The CabinSmiths was borne of the thrill of bringing joy to clients who adore their unique homes, and who want to see them finished, refinished, repaired, and restored to their original glory.
We are The CabinSMITHS because we are family-owned & operated. Thomas and his partner (in business and life), Kristie, co-own the company. Thomas' two sons, Jaden and Austin Smith, work as part of our crew, as do other members of the family. We put our heart into every project and bring integrity to the game because our goal is a polished gem and a satisfied client. And, because our name is behind everything we do.
