Company Profile

An Established Business Grows a New Branch

Golden Eagle Log Homes is a family business that grew from a successful building supply company. In 1966, Wally and Marlace Parmeter founded the Golden Eagle Building Center in Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin. With the knowledge obtained from building conventional framed homes and an in-depth understanding of the building products industry, the Parmeters decided to pursue their dream of building a log home in which to raise their family.

Trees were individually selected from their own property, carefully cut into logs, and given time to dry completely for one full year. Construction then began on the first Golden Eagle Log home, an event that did not go unnoticed by on-lookers. No sooner had the Parmeters moved into their new home were they approached by others who were impressed by the quality craftsmanship and materials used in the home. This led to a small side business which began providing several custom log home packages a year to appreciative clientele.

In 1986, Wally and Marlace decided to pursue their love of log construction by officially founding Golden Eagle Log Homes. The sons, Jay & Tod Parmeter, cleared the land, built the necessary shop, purchased and installed the required machinery.

During the day, Jay & Tod ran the thriving building center and manufactured log homes long into the night. During these days, the company "board meetings” consisted of sitting at the family picnic table under the blue Wisconsin sky. The family dedication was recognizably strong causing sales from the log homes to soon surpass the sales from the building center.

A Second Generation of Craftsmen

Wally and Marlace retired in 1996, but not before making sure that the business was left in capable hands. Today, Golden Eagle Log Homes is owned by their sons Jay and Tod Parmeter.

The company produces over 130 log homes each year. Each one of them is delivered with care, high attention-to-detail and top-quality personal service. Golden Eagle's success comes from a dedicated group of people devoted to the time-honored tradition of quality workmanship.

From the very beginning, the company has enjoyed continued growth, but the principle on which it all began remains the same -- to offer superior log homes at fair and affordable prices.
