Discover the Artistry & Passion of Pineridge Log & Timberframe

Founder & timber smith Mike Mader began in 1990 with humble beginnings, just a chisel and a hammer, and a passion to create something different in the building industry. Not only has the timberframe craft been kept alive at Pineridge, but it has also actually flourished. With the reputation of quality craftsmanship and attention to detail, demand quickly excelled to the point that one of the first CNC machine in North America was put into production at the Pineridge facility. Although this has helped us to stay competitive and deliver in a timely fashion, it has not changed the core direction of the company.

In 2023 Pineridge partnered with the Dream Home Group. This merger brought together knowledge and expertise in the Log Home field of construction as well as greater options and resources for their clients. Now with our new second generation CNC machine in production, the Pineridge way can be seen in the eyes of the team, just the same way as it was with the original founder back in 1990.

With an accomplished portfolio from residential homes to sophisticated commercial projects, Pineridge has stayed true to its founding premise of creating something different in the industry. By incorporating tried and true construction methods, as well as incorporating modern high performance building systems, Pineridge has been able to continuously provide high value to its clients.

What they say about Us

“ It was a real team effort with all of us - starting with the very first meeting at the site when we first met Mike. Jane and I are thrilled how it all turned out....making our dream a reality.”

We have been extremely happy with the workmanship, cooperation, and advice in which PineRidge has given us during our recent renovation and additon to our 159 year old farm house. Mike always went the extra step to ensure that we were happy.

The cottage is just about completed and is ( if I say so myself) STUNNING . I can't believe how beautiful it turned out. Your work is especially spectacular!

We had a positive experience with all aspects of our dealings with PineRidge. That positive experience spanned the inital contract process to the drafting/ engineering work, to the craftsmanship with which your crew cut the raw timber into an exquisite tight-fitting frame. Our guests marvel at the combination of the interior timber frame and the large, rounded cedar character posts on the exterior.

We believe the pride you show in your product, and the hands on attention you give to detail, are the most positive assets of your organization. We thank the entire PineRidge Timberframe team, for helping us make a long-term dream become a rewarding reality. We have been told more than once that we are not just building a house, we are creating a piece of art!

There was no doubt that we were a coupe of amateurs. However, you took us seriously and never let us think that we were out of your league. Mike, you came up with a design that was so in tune with our dreams we wondered if you were psychic. We moved out to the country for privacy and now we get more visitors than we ever did. They come - not to visit us - but to see our house! You made this project more fulfilling than we ever anticipated. Not only did we wind up with a wonderful home but great friends as well.

The exposed timber frame provides a unique character of both strength and warmth, and affords awesome volumes of space. We've been through major rain and snowstorms, and even a tornado without so much as a budge by the frame. One has to appreciate the craftsmanship especially at the multitude of intersecting angles in the roof. It was a pleasure working with you and your crew, and your ideas were a benefit to our design.
