Our capabilities

What We Do.

At Sierra Log and Timber, we design and manufacture log and timber homes crafted from the finest Red Cedar (Incense Cedar). Beyond the timber itself, we provide complete building material packages and ship directly to jobsites across the continental United States.

Industry Leaders in Red Cedar

We are proud to be the nation's largest producer of Red Cedar round logs and the only structural grader of this exceptional species. Sierra is also the country's sole full-line producer of Red Cedar building components, offering everything from wall logs and sidings to custom timber railings, stair parts, mantles, and decking. How grading works

Our story

A letter from Larry.

For years I have watched families come to us with a dream they have held onto for a long time. A dream of a different way of life, connected to nature, family, and something real. But I also see the uncertainty. Questions about cost, the complexity of design, finding the right builder. It can feel overwhelming.

That is why we do things differently here. We start with an honest conversation. Our first job is to be your trusted guide, to give you clear answers and protect you from the pitfalls of this industry. We use our experience not to sell you, but to serve you.

Your home is your legacy, and we are honored to be the stewards of that dream. We build it with the same care and attention to detail as if it were our own.

02

Craft Excellence

Superior standards in design, materials and manufacturing. A commitment to lasting quality you can see and feel in every detail of the home.

03
