Ward Cedar Log Homes Review

Ward Cedar Log Homes designs and manufactures log-based kit homes which can be shipped worldwide. While the majority of their pre-designed floor plans are log homes with exterior walls made up of logs, they also offer “log-based” home kits using a hybrid building system that combines the aesthetics of a log home with a highly-efficient building envelope. This building system can be applied to any of their existing designs and allows for prospective buyers to build a Ward Cedar Log Home in areas with extreme climates or strict building and energy codes. From a design standpoint, Ward Cedar Log Homes has a range of pre-engineered floor plans to choose from, all of which can be customized to meet both aesthetic wants and functional needs. For buyers looking for a fully-custom home, Ward Cedar Log Homes also has an internal design team which can work with buyers to come up with a one of a kind design.

It is worth noting that Ward Cedar Log Homes is only a designer/manufacturer and is not involved in the build portion of projects. Based in Houlton, Maine, Ward Cedar Log Homes works with buyers to design and manufacture the kit components for the project, at which point they are flat-packed and can be shipped worldwide. Once they arrive at the build site, it is up to a local builder or contractor to assemble the home kit, which includes all of the materials necessary for the structural shell of the home. It is also up to a local builder or contractor to complete all necessary site work, lay a foundation, and finish the interior of the home.

Strengths:

  • They offer multiple building systems to meet customer wants: either a traditional log home or an energy efficient, hybrid log home

  • Homes can be fully customized

  • They have over 90 years of experience manufacturing log homes

Reasons they might not be for you:

  • You want to work with the same party for all stages of your home-build project

  • You are looking for a company that specializes in contemporary designs
