About Cooks Run Cedar

Cooks Run Cedar is a sawmill and builder in Iron River, Michigan, in Iron County. Carl and John Nieminen founded it in 1985 as a custom cutting business, and it began building homes in 1987. Nick Bjorkman has owned the company since November 2018, and John Nieminen stays on as chief operating officer. The mill works with Northern White Cedar and spruce. It makes cedar fence posts, dimension lumber, tongue and groove cedar paneling, cedar shakes and cedar kindling. Its siding and interior finishes are "all made in house at our mill." The company builds garages, saunas and gazebos, additions and remodels, and log or frame homes and cabins, and it builds year round. Owner Nick Bjorkman is licensed in Michigan and Wisconsin. It suits a landowner planning a cabin, sauna or garage in Michigan's Upper Peninsula who wants a builder that runs its own sawmill and makes its own siding.
