Frontier Log Homes is a full-service custom home builder and licensed general contractor. We design and build high-end homes of every kind — handcrafted log, timber frame, hybrid, and conventional — managing every phase from excavation to the driveway.
One contract, one team • Log, timber frame, hybrid & conventional • Based in Montrose, CO
Frontier Log Homes is best known for handcrafted log work, but our crews build far more than log cabins. As a licensed general contractor, we take on complete custom home construction on Colorado’s Western Slope — high-end conventional homes, timber frames, hybrids, and massive turn-key log homes.
Every build gets the same treatment: one contract, one accountable team, and decades of craftsmanship. As your custom home builder we manage excavation, foundation, structure, roofing, plumbing, electrical, kitchens, baths, lighting, landscaping, and driveways — everything your home requires to be livable. See the proof in our project gallery.

Ben and his team are top notch professionals. They eased our concerns, educated us, and guided us through the process of building and finishing our dream log cabin near Ridgway. Couldn’t be more pleased with the end result. Can’t recommend them enough. FYI- the owner (Ben) was always on the job site monitoring progress and even getting his hands dirty at times to get the job done. You can see he truly cares about his projects. You just don’t see that anymore!?
Before we chose frontier we looked at aproxamently 8 other companies. The staff was courteous, knowledgeable and very helpful. They thoroughly explained each step. I would recommend them to anyone considering a log home. Once the home was erected on our site they continued to be very helpful with our questions. I give them an A+.
One conversation is all it takes to find out what your land — and your budget — can really do.
