The Sanzone Home

Joe and Monica Sanzone graciously shared these pictures of their Beaver Mountain home. "Although construction was complete in July 2004, everyday we arrive home is just as exciting as the day we moved in. The wonderful feeling we have for our home has yet to subside!" By looking at the following photos, it is obvious why.

Recipient of the Builder Friendly Award

Building Systems Magazine has announced Beaver Mountain Log and Cedar Homes as one of the seven recipients of the Builder Friendly Award.

This award recognizes the log manufacturers who offer extraordinary supportive services such as design, log grading, a construction manual, construction training, warranties in writing, on-site construction assistance, and furnished construction drawings, to name a few.

Charles Bevier, editor of Building Systems, explains that, "to qualify, companies have to meet a rigorous list of requirements - more than 20 categories of business development, collateral material and training. These are among the first in the log home industry to not only meet but surpass these requirements. With the Builder Friendly designation, contractors can rest assured that the relationship between a log home manufacturer and builder will be comprehensive, detailed, and - above all - professional."

Builders and customers of Beaver Mountain homes appreciate our extended efforts for total log care and construction ease. Below is a list of just a few:

• Window buck construction to provide a secure, energy-efficient fit
• Dry stacked home to ensure a quality fit and allow customers to view their home before delivery
• Pre-cut rafters to save time in the field
• Pallets to further protect the logs
• Notched floor joists to offer an accurate fit

Anniversary Celebration recap!

Our 25th Anniversary Celebration turned out to be a wonderful event! The air was filled with excitement as log home enthusasists got together to show pictures of their BM homes, swap stories, share ideas, and celebrate the success of Beaver Mountain. We loved spending the day getting reacquainted with old friends/ homeowners and meeting new ones! Thank you to all who came.

Here's a look at the day's events...

Finally, a letter that we have received from attendees:

"Les and I would like to extend a big thank you for the wonderful day we spent with you on Saturday. We came back a lot wiser and knowledgeable and even more convinced that our fist encounter - 25 years ago- was something special. We had then looked at your very first log Home built on the Hill while the barn was still in its original state. We loved it then, we love it today and could see how much the company had grown. Yesterday showed us how much more the leadership and its team were all about. Working smoothly together at all times, all concerned with the very best always and visibly proud of each other's achievement as well as the whole. Thank you for opening the entire operation for us to see and understand."

Our 25th Anniversary Celebration!

To celebrate 25 years of excellence and many dream homes coming true, we will be hosting a Customer Appreciation Day and Factory Open House and would be honored to have you join us!

What: Highlights of the day will include photos of Beaver Mountain over the past 25 years, photos of BM customer's dream homes that came true, chain saw carver Fred Avila, refreshments, and much more!

There will be factory tours so you will be able to see step-by-step how dream homes come to life. Tour our engineering department to see how our designers use CAD to develop custom home plans. Tour our milling operation to see how our quality-conscious crew air/kiln dries rough cants and then turns them into wall logs, timbers, siding, etc. Tour our precutting shops to see how our experienced craftsmen grade, pre-cut, and even preassemble panelized walls. Tour shipping and receiving to see how we care for all of the materials used in BM homes and see how everything comes together when a house is drystacked.

Our three model homes, located just 10 miles away, will be open for browsing on Sunday as well.
