OCD CONSTRUCTION

ONE LOG AT A TIME

"We take real trees and real things and turn them into something beautiful." That's the essence of James Oglesby's craft. As a specialty carpenter with a passion for log home restoration, he and his crew at OCD Construction transform wood into timeless treasures. For James, every piece of wood is a chance for creativity, and every project is about building something that stands the test of time. When his team took on a run-down log house, they didn’t just fix it up—they restored it into a generational home where families gather, celebrate, and create lasting memories.
