Butler Cabin
Chelan, WA
This project is packed with interesting building features. We used a variety of materials, such as stained fir siding, wood-framed windows, stained concrete countertops, and a large, wrap-around deck finished with stained and textured concrete. The cabin also features a heavy timber frame.
Freed Cabin
South Shore, Lake Wenatchee, WA
This project consisted involved a complete remodel to incorporate more modern materials and features while maintaining the cabin’s original rustic feel. A large part of the project was lifting the cabin over 13 feet to add a basement and a new, retrofitted foundation to make it a more permanent structure.
Customer Reviews
Working with Matt and Ben was a joy from start to finish. We had a challenging steep lakeside building site that other builders had turned away from. With his engineering background Matt was all over our project, full of ideas of how problems could be solved. Throughout the project he brought new ideas and solutions to us. We were very interested in a "green" project which fit well with Matt's philosophy. We incorporated radiant heat, an "earth tube" cooling system, a whole house fan, LED lighting, low-water-consumption toilets, and materials recycled from old buildings. That Matt is just a thoughtful guy is evidenced in all of the small niceties: daily email updates as to the work of the day, researching the cheapest LED lighting for us, dropping off samples of stained wood to our home to review after we got home from work, finding a way to ship our Craig's List finds over from Seattle. We had heard plenty of horror stories of building homes and the animosity that can develop with the General Contractor. Our experience was precisely the opposite. At the end of the project we were better friends with Matt and his team than at the beginning.Malcolm and Cherie Butler, Owners, Butler Cabin
As contractors ourselves, we could not be more happy with Ridgeline Custom Builders. Matt is creative and easy to work with. More importantly, he set's expectations, meets them, and communicates throughout the project. Knowing what and when things were going to be accomplished, getting project updates often, and having good options for changes or issues that arise have led us to bring in Ridgeline for three separate projects. It is rare to find someone so good at both the job itself and the project management. We love the work and relationship.Dave and Heidi Hunt, Owners, Hunt Residence
Matt has been a pleasure to work with thoughout the process of building our cabin. He will listen to your ideas and add his own while keeping the cost in mind. Matt is dependable and the quality of his workmanship has been excellent. I will definitely use him on my next project.David Salmon, Owner, Salmon Residence

Ridgeline in Action
These are some pictures showing our craftsmanship. We enjoy building with an emphasis in using natural cabin-esque elements such as timber framing, rough-sawn wood, and using trees felled at the building location to incorporate into the structure itself.
