Ward Cedar Log Homes is America’s first log home manufacturer. In 1923, when lumberman, Bruce Ward, invented his special interlocking milling techniques, he created Ward Cedar Log Homes and the premier company in the industry was founded. Today, Ward builds log homes with the craftsmanship and quality that you would expect from a company with 100 years of experience. Using only premium precut and graded northern white cedar logs, Ward homes are attractive, low maintenance and energy efficient.
We create the log home you want, whether it’s a statement of quality, for entertaining friends and family with style, for holiday, for quiet moments, or a cabin in the woods. A home shaped by your individual tastes, preferences, building site, and of course, your budget.
Logs are 6-by-6 or 6-by-8 and are D-shaped to create a flat interior wall surface. Handpeeled and Clapboard logs are also available.
To maximize energy efficiency, Ward engineers developed the Ward Comfort System 5. This unique, five point log profile system provides tongue-and-groove joinery, drip edges, closed-cell foam gasket barriers, external foam backer rods and exterior caulking. Ward also uses a specially engineered interlocking butt and pass corner design to further ensure energy efficiency.
Ward also features its Hybrid Log Home for building in extreme climate conditions or in areas with prescriptive energy codes. With an R-value of over 30, this 2-by-6 framed wall construction includes 6-inch fiberglass batt insulation, 1-inch optional rigid insulation, cedar log siding with full log corners and northern white cedar interior paneling. This system looks exactly like our solid log wall homes.
