SEATTLE, April 26, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- Lindal Cedar Homes, the leading provider of custom cedar post and beam homes since 1945, will present Atlantic Custom Homes the Founder's Circle Award. "The Founder's Circle Award is very exclusive," says Bob Lindal, son of founder Sir Walter Lindal. "Exceptional performance, attention to detail and innovative thinking do not just apply to our product, they also apply to our dealers and we feel it's important to recognize that."
Sir Walter Lindal is scheduled to visit Jim and Susan Johnston of Atlantic Custom Homes in Cold Spring, NY on Saturday, April 29th. Atlantic Custom Homes is located in the Hudson River Valley, and has been one of Lindal Cedar Homes' distributors since 1983. Atlantic has delivered more than 300 unique houses all over the United States and to 7 foreign countries. Past Lindal and potential future homeowners have been invited to help celebrate this event.
Jim and Susan have been top Lindal Cedar Homes' distributors in the United States and world wide, "We believe the key to our success is listening to the client's wishes and taking the time to explore them to develop a design in accordance with those wishes." Customer Lee Oakes says, "This is probably a good time to tell you how happy I continue to be with all aspects of the house. It has served me well, and will for many years to come. The beauty of its design continues to please me every single day."
This June, after 24 years of service, Jim and Susan will retire and pass on their success to Greg and Jan Buhler who will be taking over Atlantic Custom Homes. "Having Sir Walter Lindal come to our dealership to present this award to us means so much. We have enjoyed our relationship with the Lindal family and it's quite an honor to receive this recognition."
Sir Walter Lindal still serves on the board of his company and is in his office every day, working on new product development. Since its inception, Lindal Cedar Homes has been known for its adventurous customers and custom home designs, which have been featured in numerous publications such as Men's Journal, Metropolitan Home, House and Garden and most recently featured on HGTV's "What You Get For The Money". Lindal was also named by Business Week Magazine as a Top 100 Best Small Growth Company.
