My Morton is my country getaway. I like the way Morton works. The sales consultant was very helpful with planning the space and placing the rooms to keep the house flowing. The Morton team showed great professionalism, they came, finished the job, cleaned up the construction site and got the house ready to be finished by the subcontractor... I am very, very happy with my house. It turned out better than I expected. It is a very well built house. If you wanted to build another building, you would have no problem choosing Morton.

• How is the Morton House or Cabin different from a traditional wood frame house?

  Instead of traditional bar house construction, Morton Construction uses a method known as post and frame construction. Traditional wood built homes tend to have multiple corners, multiple levels, vinyl/brick siding, and internal load-bearing walls. The Morton wood frame house is a wood structural building, often in a simpler configuration, with a steel roof and siding.

• Why choose a Morton Post Frame Home?

  Choosing Morton posts for your permanent home or cabin has several advantages:
