What is Included in a Log Cabin Kit?

Log Cabin Kits - What do they contain?

To make the right decision, know precisely what is in your log cabin kit.

When you are choosing a log home company to get your materials from, you need to know what you are getting up front or else you can't make an informed decision. Make sure you have a complete list of materials that you can expect to receive and consult with your log home builder to confirm your expectations for your selected log home design.

At eLogHomes, we make it easy to find what you need. If you need answers concerning a custom design change that you would like to make, you are very welcome to speak with your personal Log Home Specialist that can assist you with your choices and log cabin design. We have an in-house drafting team that will be working closely with you to make sure every change and customization is to your specifications.
