Eagle's View Cedar Homes Inducted in Lindal Founders Circle
Pagosa Springs, Colo, July 20—Sir Walter Lindal, founder and chairman emeritus of Lindal Cedar Homes, honored Joe Bergman of Eagle’s View Cedar Homes with a Lindal Founder’s Circle Award here today. Lindal told how he founded the company 63 years ago and shared highlights of the history of the largest and original manufacturer of custom cedar homes in the world.
“In the seven years since Bergman has been an independent Lindal dealer, he has twice received a Premier Club Award,” said Lindal, who came to Pagosa Springs from Lindal headquarters in Seattle with his granddaughter, Trina Lindal. Trina is Lindal’s web manager.
“The building experts at Eagle’s View have been responsible for punctuating Southwest Colorado from Salida and South Fork to Trinidad, Chromo and Bayfield with homes featuring Lindal's signature expanses of glass and long spans of open space permitted by our signature post and beam building system. We can achieve such architectural silhouettes because posts, not interior walls, support a roof's weight,” added Lindal, who, at 89, still loves his work.
“Many people have never built a home before and would like a coach to help them through some or all of the design and building processes,” said Bergman. “Our expertise and passion is to help homebuyers translate their lifestyles into a home. We know we provide an essential service in what is an expensive and complicated procedure.
“In addition, we have an advantage over others in the business: We have the backing of an international company, Lindal, that has honed the design and building process for top-notch efficiency. There’s hardly a challenge headquarters hasn’t already met and solved.
“The company also has access to the highest quality building products, such as kiln dried western red cedar typically unavailable at local lumberyards,” noted Bergman. “This weather and insect-resistant wood provides exceptional insulation and feels and looks like custom furniture.
“We also have a hardcover 272-page all-color Lindal plan book, ‘Living Dreams,’ illustrated with Lindal’s home styles--classic, contemporary and traditional. It includes 90 floorplans and features homes ranging in size from 1,202 square foot cottages to 5,800 square foot estates,” he added. The book costs $20 plus $5 postage and handling and can be ordered on line at www.lindal.com. It is also available at the Eagle View Cedar Homes office on Eagle Drive in Pagosa Springs.
