I have been in the building industry my entire life. Since 1990 I started working in the mountains of Colorado building palatial custom homes, renovations and large commercial buildings.
I was introduced to building handcrafted log homes in 2000 where I learned the trade and the extremely detailed craftsmanship. I have a passion for the beautiful log features, grains and aroma produced by the logs.
Timberframing has been around for centuries providing strength and longevity to it’s structure. Timber Frame Homes offer a unique style, strength and sustainable designs, and just like a Cascade Handcrafted – western red cedar log home, they offer energy efficiency and awe inspiring character. These beautifully handcrafted homes truly are the building results of a master craftsman.
A handcrafted log home is the only “true” log home. In a handcrafted building, the log is still a natural log, the only alteration being that it has undergone removal of the outer bark and part or all of the “cambium” or inner bark layer. Because of this, each log still possess all of the uniqueness and character that nature intended it to have.
Winter and early Spring can bring many cold days to the Cascade Handcrafted Log Yard. So how do the guys keep warm? They make themselves a fire log by plunging into the log against the grain.
From the heights of the Rocky Mountain National Park to deep canyons carved by the Colorado River, it’s impossible to name all the stunning places in Colorado.
Cascade Handcrafted Log Homes has built hundreds of homes across this beautiful State. Near the emerald-green national forests, with fields of vibrant summer wildflowers and the shores of crystalline lakes. To the autumn-colored hillsides blanketed with aspens and rivers lined with cottonwoods with shimmering hues of gold and red and then of course there’s winter.
At Cascade Handcrafted, we build log Gazebos that are truly wonderful works of art. With western red cedar, the log flares create a majestic, solid look compliment any garden, backyard setting or venue. A log gazebo is so flexible for it’s uses. Make it your new summer relaxing place with comfortable seating and entertain outdoors year round! A great place to retreat to on hot summer days, as the open design allows the breeze to flow through and unlike the pergola, the covered roof provides plenty of shade. These beautiful structures can become THAT place where you love to go and bring fun to your yard!
On October 11th, we headed down to Colorado to set up the logs for a stunning, western red cedar – post and beam log home. This home will boast the beautiful, unique log flares and diamond notched, full scribe building method.
We offer many different construction styles to create your unique, stunning log home! How your home is assembled influences its engineering, finishing, and maintenance expectations. At Cascade Handcrafted Log Homes we build a log home that will serve for centuries, with good design and proper maintenance.
