A word about Lindal Homes:
BEAUTIFULLY CRAFTED OF WARM, NATURAL MATERIALS

To what do we attribute the success of the Classic Lindal home? Some believe it is the soaring volumes, open spaces and delicately articulated expanses of glass that inspire daily living like no other. Some credit the warm glow of cedar, mated with the massive strength of the post and beam frame and the enduring stability of the homes and the company that produces them. Others credit the quality and continuous refinement. Or is it the unmatched calm and comfort of the Lindal home style, in stark contrast to life itself? 

Given the fact that, like snowflakes, no two Lindal homes are identical, the secret to the Classics longevity may well be the flexibility of the Lindal post-and-beam building system and its ability to respond to virtually every site and every homeowners vision in varied architectural styles without sacrificing its predictability and efficiency
