Build a Log Home That is Unique to You.
Imagine being able to design a custom log home shaped by your individual tastes, preferences, and building site.
You can do just that! Our three design series — Premier Series, Cedar Valley Series or Camp Series are just a guide and are fully customizable. In addition to log homes and camps we also offer a Garage Series.
Each series offers different alternatives for package components, log length and overall home size — Any of our existing log home floor plans can be used as a springboard for your ideas. Make any customizations you wish such as; move walls, change windows, increase/decrease size, and much more.
You can even combine features from one plan with another or go completely custom at no additional costs. Let us help you design a log home that makes your life easier and is unique to you. Hybrid and Timber homes are also available and any log home plan can be transformed into one.

Can I custom-design my log home?
Absolutely! One thing that Ward has learned over the years is that log home enthusiasts have very different ideas of what they want in their log home! Most of the homes Ward provides are customer-designed for each family. Ward's materials packages can also be custom-designed to fit your needs.
Custom designs are expected at Ward and there is no extra fee for this service! The ideas for your log home or cabin can come from any source. You may want to customoize a standard Ward design slightly or design your home completely from scratch. It doesn't matter which, there is no extra fee for custom designs at Ward Cedar Log Homes.

Can I get help with the design?
Representatives can help you design a home that meets your specific requirements. Supported by our in-house design team in Maine, they will work closely with you throughout the finalization of the complete set of working plans, which includes floor plans; foundation dimensions; a floor, ceiling and roof framing plan; elevations; and related details.
What is included and not included?
Ward is the industry leader in "educating" the customer in this regard. We firmly believe that the more you know about our material and services, the more likely you are to come home to Ward. This process begins right in the Planning Guide and continues through our Purchase Agreement, both of which provide a complete list of materials and specifications. The materials and specifications list in the Planning Guide also clearly lists all materials that must be supplied by the homeowner or the builder. We suggest that you compare the two lists so that you understand exactly what you are buying and what additional materials you will need to supply. We are proud of our completeness, quality and flexibility.
Here is a full list of what Ward includes and does not include for your log home.
Can I add a deck/porch or garage?
When the days are long and the weather warm, you'll want to spend more time outside, entertaining friends, relaxing with family or simply enjoying a lovely view on a quiet Saturday afternoon. With Ward, you can easily extend your living space outdoors by adding a screened-in porch, wraparound deck or gracious veranda. Or add an attached or detached garage — even a barn — matching your home's exterior appearance.
