What Makes Us Different
I guess we do construction on our log homes the old-fashioned way – one at a time, just like our log yard. Our packages are designed with the same level of care and craftsmanship, ensuring that every home receives the attention to detail it deserves.
Tom- President: Sales, Manager, Designer, Superintendant/Quality control.
Judy- VP: Sales, Office Manager
We also have a skilled Artesian/carpenter on each home throughout the build process from the beginning to completion and he is not just a supervisor. In this way we are able to keep overhead down, but keep our eye on the ball.
All of logs are sourced from the Interior Dry belt region of BC from sustainable and managed forests.
We see some of our competitors who tout their 6 step process with designers, mangers, superintendents and office support have you ever wondered how much actual hands on experience all of these entities have had in the actual constructing anything let alone your custom log or timber home?
Our process is as simple as one step with a fraction of these entities. The owner of our company is directly involved with you and the architectural designer thru every aspect weather it’s a custom plan or a stock plan we modify to suite your family.

DESIGN – BUILD
The Paradise Mountain Log Homes Difference
At Paradise Mountain Log Homes, all our Turn-Key homes not only meet but exceed energy codes, ensuring top-tier efficiency.
However, it’s important to note that the home designs featured on our website are conceptual and can be customized to fit each client’s needs. In fact, all of our log home plans can be adapted to Timber Frame, Post & Beam, or even a Hybrid combination – whichever best suits your vision.
Why Our Product Stands Out
After thoroughly evaluating competing log home companies, we are confident that our product is superior to most alternatives – not just in terms of quality but also in the level of service we provide.
Unlike many companies, we don’t hand you off to an architect and let them take over the process. Over the years, we’ve found that this approach often leads to unnecessary expenses. An architect may design something you like, but if it doesn’t align with your budget, then what’s the point?
A Personalized Approach to Home Design
Rather than outsourcing the process, our owner personally works with you to bring your vision to life. With the support of our skilled drafter, he has helped clients achieve their dream homes for over 35 years.
Cost-Effective Building Strategies
Over the years, we’ve discovered that building up rather than out is often more cost-effective. This concept applies from the foundation size to the Log or Timber Frame Package and even the roof system itself.
Speaking of roof systems, they are often one of the biggest expenses in any project. Therefore, making strategic choices here can significantly impact overall costs. A simple, well-planned roof system saves both time and money, reducing material costs and labor hours.
What Sets Our Timber Packages Apart
Finally, many so-called Log & Timber companies showcase homes that only feature small timber accents within a SIP (Structural Insulated Panel) envelope not the full timber or log structure you might expect. In contrast, we take pride in crafting the entire timber or log package, including stairs and railings, fully assembled in our yard.
Ultimately, the choice is clear. Do you want a handcrafted log home built by true artisans using large logs and timbers, or would you settle for a machine-made structure with smaller diameters?
FAQ: What’s the Best Species of Log for a Log or Timber Home?
At PMLH, we frequently hear the same question: What’s the best species of log for a log or timber home?
Some companies will claim that Western Red Cedar is the best option. However, it costs two to three times more than a Douglas Fir home, the species we use at PMLH. While it’s true that Cedar lumber lasts longer than Douglas Fir, the comparison isn’t as simple as it seems.
In a handcrafted home, unlike heartwood lumber, a handcrafted log home retains a layer of sapwood. In fact, Cedar’s sapwood is softer than that of Douglas Fir, meaning it requires treatment just like any other log or timber home.
Furthermore, a Douglas Fir home offers stronger material with less taper. When properly treated, it performs exceptionally well. In some cases, we even incorporate Cedar – such as for entry posts – because its flared trunk or butt provides a striking visual appeal. But ultimately, why spend twice as much when Douglas Fir delivers both strength and value?
The Reality of Log Packages – What They Do (or Don’t) Include
Another common concern among homeowners involves log packages and their actual contents. We’ve heard from many people asking about service after experiencing major setbacks with other providers. Some companies simply drop their log shell on-site and leave – without offering a log smith, a set-up crew, or even basic guidance. Any experienced builder knows this is not the right way to start a project. Yet, time and time again, people get lured in by a lower bid, only to realize the hidden costs later.
Choosing the Right Logs for Your Dream Home
Moreover, it’s essential to consider the quality of materials used. Some companies cut costs by offering bug-killed, dead-standing lodgepole pine, or incorporating butt joints and butt-and-pass corners that compromise the structural integrity of the home. Let’s be honest – whether you’re building a luxury log home or a cozy cabin, choosing high-quality logs is one of the most critical decisions you’ll make.
