One sauna.
A story in layers.
This barrel sauna is modeled on one Big Creek built. Keep scrolling and it comes apart, one layer at a time. Scroll back up and it goes back together.
Drag the sauna to turn it.

01 / The possibility
Bring a little retreat into your everyday life, with space for warmth, comfort and time for yourself. Think of a backyard sauna, a cold-plunge deck or a reading nook by the window. Once it's there, you use it every day.
02 / The materials
Good projects start with honest materials. Cedar that smells the way a sauna should. Metal that keeps the weather out. Glass where you want the view. We talk through what fits your space, the way you'll use it and your budget before anything gets cut.
03 / The details
Abe grew up Amish, where you learn that the parts nobody sees matter as much as the parts everybody does. Square cuts. Tight joints. Benches that sit right and floors that run true. Getting them right takes a little longer, and it's why the work lasts.
04 / Your project
Strip any project back far enough and it's a stack of good decisions. Tell us what you're picturing. We'll sketch it with you, price it plainly and build it like it's our own.
Start with a sketchWhat we build
From a one-day fix to the project you've been picturing for years, built with the same care either way. Tap + on anything you like to add it to your project list.
Barrel saunas, cold-plunge decks and quiet corners built for slowing down.
Decks, stairs, cable rail and shade. More room for the good stuff.
Plank, hardwood and laminate, laid flat and finished clean, room by room.
Board and batten, slat walls, shiplap, wainscoting, crown and casing. The quickest way to change how a room feels.
Mudroom benches, cubbies, bookcases, window seats and pantry shelving made for your space.
Treads, caps, handrails and cable rail, inside and out.
Board-and-batten siding, cedar gable accents, sheds and garage refreshes.
Open shelving, butcher block, vanities and the small upgrades that change a room.
Doors, drywall, trim and the honey-do list you keep meaning to get to.
Accent wall studio
An accent wall is one of the fastest ways to change how a room feels. Try a few patterns and finishes, then add your favorite to your project list.

About Abe
Abe Stoltzfus grew up Amish, where you learn to build by building: alongside family, with your hands and without shortcuts.
That upbringing still shows on every job. Plain talk, square corners and a site left cleaner than he found it. Today Abe runs Big Creek Services on Colorado's Front Range, helping homeowners turn the ideas they've been sitting on into something built to last. A sauna out back. A deck for summer nights. A wall with some character.
How it works
Call, text or send the form. Rough ideas and photos are welcome.
Abe comes out, looks at the space, listens and measures. You'll know quickly if it's a fit.
A sketch, a scope and a price in plain words before any work starts.
Square, level and tidy, on the schedule we agreed. You'll always know what's happening next.
It isn't done until you say it's done.
