Notes from the work
We build these, so most of what is here comes from the parts of a project that surprise people: the ground, the route in, the coordination, and the years after the crate is gone. No figures, no chart that pretends to know your house. Just the work, written out.

What really determines the cost of a home sauna
The sauna is the smallest moving part in a sauna project. What drives the scope of the work is the site, the access route, the pad, electrical coordination, format, wood, the heater, and the years after the build.
Four hubs
Everything we publish lands in one of these. They follow the shape of a real project, from the first question to the years after the build.
Choosing a sauna
Format, wood, heat, and fit. What separates one room from another once you are past the photographs.
4 articles
Site and installation
The pad, the access route, the drainage, the coordination. The work that decides whether the finished room still sits right in a decade.
7 articles
Climate and care
Freeze and thaw, humidity, salt air, and altitude sun. How a sauna is protected for the seasons it will live through.

Membership and process
How a project is scoped, how member pricing is discussed, and what happens between the first call and the first session.

Everything here is written in house by David Drimmel, from projects we built. No figures, because member pricing is a conversation with a person and a site. No advice that belongs to a licensed trade, because that answer is made on your property rather than on a web page.
We represent you, not the manufacturers.

“David, the owner, worked with us to get a high quality sauna. David is very responsive, knowledgeable, honest and responsive. He will have your sauna delivered to your home. He will then assemble the sauna and remove all the packaging. I highly recommend purchasing a sauna from Sauna Friend.”
Dennis DonovanFort Collins, CORead it on Google (opens in a new tab) “Sauna Friends were exceptional! They fixed my sauna door, added flashing, and reinstalled my sauna roof. I looked for sauna-specific professionals to do these repairs so I could be confident they'd know what they're doing, and they did.”

Went above and beyond to ensure we had full understanding in everything: the sauna we purchased, the ordering, delivery, and setup. Absolutely love our sauna and worth every penny. David was incredibly knowledgeable and went out of his way to over-deliver. Highly recommend working with David!”
