MINOCQUA, Wis., Feb. 2, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- If someone mentions the words "log cabin", what do you think of? Abe Lincoln? An overly rustic, bare bones Davy Crockett-type home? Or perhaps a custom-built dream home, with all the amenities, technology and comfort a home could have? The latter is the specialty of Coffen Construction, a family-owned and operated building company in Minocqua, WI. The brother team Michael and Robin Coffen with the assistance of Mike's daughter-in-law Margaret, have run the company since 1984, and together with their father, Ed, they have been building in the Lakeland area since 1934, an impressive 70 years of building experience.
For the past 7 years, the Coffen's have been dealers of Golden Eagle Log Homes, a premier log home company based in Wisconsin Rapids. Also a family business, Golden Eagle has grown from a successful building supply company in 1966 to a leading log home company producing over 130 homes a year. This past January, Coffen Construction attended the Golden Eagle Log Homes annual dealer conference meeting at Golden Eagle's headquarters in Wisconsin Rapids. Coffen Construction was the recipient of the Silver Sales Award for being the No. 2 dealer nationally in 2006. The plaque is proudly displayed in their office.
"This was a great opportunity for our company to meet and exchange ideas with peers from other Golden Eagle Log Home dealerships from around the United States," Robin Coffen said. "There is something inherently unique about family-owned and operated companies, and it's really a joy to be associated with so many wonderful people."
"The log home part of our business really makes us stand out in the building community with such a custom product -- it's really amazing," adds Michael Coffen. "The dealer meeting was impressive -- the presentations and sales training Golden Eagle offered were top-notch, and we also had the opportunity to attended several special forums geared to the housing industry. We're always looking for ways to improve, so this was very valuable to us."
Coffen says they offer conventional home construction, log home construction and all types of business and residential remodeling services. They are general contractors and are active members of the Headwaters Builders Association, Wisconsin Builders Association and the National Home Builders Association.
