This isn't a business we picked up. It's the trade we were raised in.
Guild Log & Timber was founded by JD Knight, a second-generation log home contractor with over 25 years in the trade. What started as working alongside his father grew into one of the most respected log home operations in Texas. From full custom builds to structural rot repair, JD has done every phase of the work firsthand.
You reach JD directly: 512-703-0518 is answered from the field, not a call center.
The crew that stands behind Guild Log & Timber has been built over decades. Ricardo Gil has been JD's partner for over 20 years: two decades of precision work on job sites across the state. Ian Knight, JD's son, represents the third generation of the trade.
The broader team has been intact for years. Every member has earned their position through skill and reliability. That kind of continuity produces a standard of work that speaks for itself, and it's why we never use subcontractors. Every log we set, every joint we cut, and every stain coat we apply is done by our team.
Guild: the oldest known group of artisans or skilled professionals; an organized group of people who have joined together because they share the same passion.
The Guild is a collection of only the best craftsmen in the industry. We are Texas-based but travel all over, in constant pursuit of perfection. We work with homeowners, general contractors, architects, and mortgage companies on projects ranging from small hunting cabins to large custom builds and historic restorations.
