A Home That Lasts for Generations
Northern White Cedar doesn’t just look beautiful — it makes your home more comfortable, durable, and low-maintenance. Where it's more naturally resistant to decay, rot and insects, you’ll have more time to enjoy your log home and less time worrying about upkeep.
Plus with it's superior thermal insulation, your home stays cozy in winter and cool in summer — all while saving energy. Cedar ensures your log home not only looks great but stands the test of time. Why we use Cedar:
✅ High natural resistance to rot or decay
✅ The most natural resistance to insects
✅ Energy-efficient, saving you money on heating and cooling
✅ More dimensionally stable than most woods
✅ Easy to work, cut, plane and nail
✅ Long-lasting beauty
✅ A beautiful light color, with small brown knots
