Cascade Handcrafted Log and Timber Homes was originally founded by Dan Coulter and Markus Dehaas more than 20 years ago. Today the Cascade team includes the industry’s most talented professional logsmiths and scribers. We’re passionate about what we do, and each and every home we produce combines that passion with superior craftsmanship, top materials, and a process that takes each client’s unique hopes and dreams for their custom log home into consideration.
Building Custom Log and Timber Homes Since 1999
We've built custom log homes throughout Canada, USA, Europe and Asia.
Log Homes
We’ll deal with you directly to discuss all aspects of your log home, from the initial plans, the choice of wood and its benefits, to the construction through to the actual installation on site.
Renovations
Customers love us because we strive to exceed their expectations; contractors love us because they can get their work done quickly once we’ve installed the log shell.
Log Cabins
We are builders first, salesmen last and we’d love to show you what we can do. You are most welcome to drop in anytime at our yard in Chilliwack, B.C. to discuss your dream log home project in person.
Post & Beam
A Post & Beam home uses vertical logs (posts) to support load-bearing horizontal logs (beams) with a variety of joinery options available to you, the result is a robust frame for beautiful exposed logs.
Commercial
Over the years we have been fortunate to be part of a lot of Commercial projects. The ‘wow’ factor is intense and so is the feeling of accomplishment that we all get to share.
Floor Plans
We can supply a multitude of floor plans for your dream log home, whether you are looking for a cozy cabin in the woods or a majestic 5,000+ square foot palace, talk to us today.
At Cascade, we build everything from cozy log cabins to palatial log villas.
Clients can select from existing log home floor plans or design their custom projects from scratch. At Cascade Handcrafted Log and Timber Homes, we offer a variety of construction styles (from Full Scribe and Chinked to Hybrid or Post & Beam Construction, Timber Frame, and more). We choose only the best materials — premium Canadian quality logs include Western Red Cedar or Douglas Fir — because better logs return their value in thermal performance, maintenance, resale, and aesthetic quality. Our handcrafted experts can advise which are the best logs to use for your climate.
Log homes are a more environmentally friendly building choice
A log home is a responsible option when considering environmental sustainability. A log building that incorporates great design, build and maintenance will easily last for several generations, many homes are still in service 60 and more years after construction. This time span more than allows the forest to regenerate the materials harvested to create the original. Our custom built Cascade Handcrafted Log and Timber Homes naturally don’t require as much synthetic material as conventional construction, reducing the industrial footprint of pollution, energy consumption and waste. Log homes can be easier to heat, using less energy too which is always good for you and the environment. If you would like more information, please contact us.
Reforestation in British Columbia
B.C. prides itself on being a world leader in growing trees and sustainable forest management and since the reforestation programs began in the 1930s, over 7 billion trees have been planted. The Canadian Government is committed to planting 2 billion trees over the next 10 years – one of the pathways to achieving our goal of net-zero GHG emissions by 2050.
