Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Lindal Cedar Home?
+Lindal Cedar Homes are custom-designed, factory-crafted homes built with a signature post-and-beam structural system. Using premium Western Red Cedar and Douglas Fir, Lindal homes feature open floor plans, walls of glass, and a timeless modern aesthetic. Each home is designed to your specifications and delivered as a precision-cut materials package, then built by an authorized dealer like Modern Dwellings.
What does a Lindal dealer/builder do?
+As an authorized Lindal Cedar Homes dealer, Modern Dwellings handles every aspect of your project. We guide you through plan selection and customization, manage the Lindal materials package delivery, and oversee the complete construction of your home on your lot. We serve as your single point of contact from design through move-in, ensuring quality at every step.
How long does it take to build a Lindal home?
+The timeline for a Lindal home typically includes 2-4 months for design and customization, 6-8 weeks for the materials package to be manufactured and delivered, and 6-12 months for on-site construction depending on size and complexity. The precision-cut materials package can actually speed up the framing phase compared to traditional construction.
Are Lindal homes energy efficient?
+Yes, Lindal homes are designed with energy efficiency in mind. The post-and-beam system allows for continuous insulation without thermal bridging through studs. Combined with high-performance windows, quality cedar construction, and modern building science, Lindal homes can achieve excellent energy performance. Many homeowners also opt for solar-ready designs and advanced insulation packages.
