MoreNot your Grandfathers Cabin
Log “cabins” and Log homes have come a long way on the trip from woods to the suburbs. Referring to Pioneer Log and Timber structures as cabins is very misleading. Established 1976, PLT of Mt has been at the forefront of this new demand for luxury rustic log homes. Chateaus or Retreats are probably better terms, but popularity of this “style” has skyrocketed. Scott Rouleau of New York City-based J. Rouleau & Associates does marketing consulting for the log home industry. “The industry is booming, unlike the housing industry,” says Rouleau. “Log home manufacturers are getting many calls from architects. The companies I work with can’t build them fast enough—it’s amazing.”
One log at a time

They build your home just for you, while keeping budget and timeframe in mind. Pioneer Log & Timber is one of the most selective log home and timber frame builders in North America. We select every log we use one at a time and cut each by hand. The core philosophy is to take care of the environment from which we source our logs.
Montana Lodge builders stresses sustainability
“Being headquartered in Montana, it’s one of our goals to make the forests sustainable. The same old logging and harvesting techniques aren’t good enough today. Those widespread legacies of environmental damage are proof of that we must do better. Tougher environmental standards exist in American forests than they do in Canada and other places. We’ve always believed in using American timber, with American craftsmen to craft and build the best log and timber homes on the planet. ” (Pioneer Log and Timber website 2019)- SYP Direct comment (March 2020); PLT of MT builds homes that will outlive the owners, plus two generations. How many fake floors or cheap materials will be torn out and replaced during that 150 years?

Real wood floors are Green
Ask most environmentalist about using real wood for flooring, for example, and you will get a lecture. Unfortunately, the lecture will not offer the big picture. The alternative to real wood, all of it, ends up in landfills. Real wood is reclaimed one day, only to become another floor, a much more expensive floor by the way. So before you buy into “leasing” a floor cover because it is friendly to environment, please do the research or call us because we have already done it.
