Ward Cedar Log Homes
Ward Cedar Log Homes is America’s first log home manufacturer. Experience the quality, comfort, and value that has been our hallmark since 1923. When Bruce Ward invented his special interlocking milling technique in 1923, he created Ward Cedar Log Homes. The premier company in the industry was founded.
Today, Ward builds log homes with the craftsmanship and quality of more than 95 years of experience. Using only premium northern white cedar logs, Ward homes are attractive; require less maintenance and are energy efficient.
Use our plans as a springboard for your ideas. Make any modifications you wish. You can even combine features from one home plan with another. Or you may go completely custom – the choice is yours.
It is important to you as a home buyer to know that the company you are going to do business with has been around for a while and will still be doing business long after your home has been built. After all, your new home is probably the largest investment you are ever going to make.
