What We Do.
At Sierra Log and Timber, we design and manufacture premium 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.
Innovation at Your Fingertips
We are redefining how custom homes and outdoor spaces are built through our industry-first, proprietary technology:
The Log Home Configurator
The only tool in the country that allows you to design, size, and view your home in 3D with accurate, real-time pricing.
The Shade Structure Configurator
A revolutionary tool that lets you customize parts, colors, types, and sizes in 3D—complete with real-time pricing and Augmented Reality (AR) visualization.
Nationwide Design & Engineering
With our in-house 3D modeling, design, and engineering services, we support projects nationwide—including specialized expertise that makes us California’s most effective log home engineering team.

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.
Our guiding principles
The promises we live by.
These are not marketing words. They are the commitments Larry made when he founded this company, and the ones every person on our team is held to every single day.
We are the guides at the table, not the salesmen at the door. Every conversation is shaped by what is right for your land, your family and your budget.
Superior standards in design, materials and manufacturing. A commitment to lasting quality you can see and feel in every detail of the home.
We do not just design & produce houses. We lay the groundwork for family traditions and meaningful gatherings that stand for generations.
