Lindal Offers Home Package Rebuild Discount for Fire Victims
Lindal is offering a 10% discount on home packages to people who lost their homes in one of the devastating wildfires that has ravaged California and other regions of the West Coast this year.
SEATTLE, Nov. 15, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Lindal is offering a 10% discount on home packages to people who lost their homes in one of the devastating wildfires that has ravaged California and other regions of the West Coast this year.
In the past 20 years, prolonged drought, artificial suppression of naturally-occurring wildfires and lack of controlled burns, population growth, and urban expansion into formerly undeveloped areas has dramatically increased the number, intensity and range of wildfires on the West Coast of North America, including California, Oregon and Washington State in the U.S., and British Columbia in Canada. Fires have increased in intensity, duration, and range throughout North America and other parts of the world.
Lindal Cedar Homes has a long history of working with clients in high-fire-risk areas of California and elsewhere to ensure that their homes that adhere to local fire codes. In California, this means designing homes that are in compliance with California's Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) regulations.
"We've done a number of homes over the years that meet WUI," said Bret Knutson, Lindal Cedar Homes' operations manager.
Harry Miller of Executive Cedar Homes is a longtime independent Lindal Cedar Homes distributor in Northern CA. This year, he's worked with several clients who are rebuilding their homes after a fire, as well as others building a new home in a fire zone. A former firefighter himself, Harry has a lot of sympathy (and offers a dealer discount) for people going through the rebuild process. "You're supposed to help people who are down and out and losing everything," he said.
When it comes to choosing exterior siding material, "most people would rather have the composite siding in the fire areas," Miller said. "Using composite siding can keep a branch that's blown on to your property from burning through the wall into your home. I show people pictures of homes I've done with composite siding and keep a sample in my car. A lot of them can't believe it's not wood."
Lindal has worked with many clients to design and build homes in high risk areas over the years. Experienced drafters, engineers, and Lindal representatives work with local permitting authorities in many different counties and jurisdictions. The cost to build a fire-resistant home varies depending on the materials used. In general, composite siding materials are less expensive and require less maintenance. They are often the best choice for high fire risk areas and can realistically mimic the look of real wood. Our premium cedar siding is sourced from the Western red cedar using sustainable harvesting practices. While this unique material — unparalleled in quality and beauty — is more expensive, it also adds great value to your home and can be as fire-resistant as composite materials.
"In addition to Lindal's superior quality of materials and cutting-edge design abilities, there are other aspects of the Lindal process which are helpful in a disaster-zone rebuild," said sales manager Todd Callender. "Lindal can ship a house package quickly to any region in North America. "We source large volumes of material at a time. As a result, we aren't impacted by local price fluctuations. In areas hit by fires, floods, or hurricanes -- where the cost of materials can skyrocket quickly due to high demand and short supply -- this helps to reduce and control the cost of a rebuild."
Lindal is committed to engineering the highest quality homes on the market. The Company offers an industry-exclusive Lifetime Structural Warranty on every home built.
