"An Extremely Positive Experience"

We have had the pleasure of knowing Mike and Judy Flanagan since 2001. We met at an Open House for their business, Cedar Homes of Washington. We were looking at cabin packages to build a retreat in the mountains for our family. Their openness, friendliness and willingness to help is genuine. We never felt any pressure to give a commitment. The fact that the home they live in is a product they built themselves from a kit is a positive statement that they know the design and build process - have been through it - and know first hand about long term maintenance, etc. for these type of structures.

The summer of 2004, we had a contractor build the shell of our cabin and it was an extremely positive experience. There have been minor issues that have come up during the building process, such as shortages for hardware. Mike and Judy have always promptly returned phone calls and remedied the situation in short order. We cannot think of a way that they could improve the way they conduct their business or improve their customer service.

These homeowners are project managing an 850 sf addition to their existing home.  The addition is built with our laminated cedar timber wall system.

The added space will include a new kitchen and rec room.

The timber walls were up in about one day.

The homeowners sided over the dormer on their existing home -- to match the timber walls on the addition. 

Plans call for new roofing for both the existing home and addition.

The total time elapsed from the installation of the floor system to the roof system was about 10 days.

The main floor includes a spacious kitchen / dining / great room along with a master suite with a walk-in closet and a separate tub and shower - and two additional bedrooms.  A laundry room and second bath are also on the main level. There is an attached two-garage at the rear of the home. The basement layout includes a bedroom, full bath, library, shop, fitness room, mechanical room and a large storage area.


The homeowners have built extensive rock retaining walls -- all from rocks found on their jobsite.

Shell construction of this Cutter 1750 was completed before the snow fell.  The homeowner (who is project managing the construction of the home) will resume the finish work when weather permits.

Kittitas County fire codes required the home be designed with metal roofing, cement board siding and fire resistant decking.  We are able to meet this requirement using our post & beam (stud framed) wall system.

The 1,100 sf main floor includes an open great room, kitchen, bath and two bedrooms. The 650 sf loft level includes a master bedroom suite with a walk-in-closet and a library.  The basement level (1,100 sf) includes a one-car garage, family room, laundry room and bathroom.
