Log Home Packages in Tn (Cabin Kits)

Log Home Packages in Tn (Cabin Kits)

Custom Timber Log Homes designs and produces the highest quality log home packages in Tn and the surrounding areas.  We began as log home builders in Tn and the Eastern half of the US.  This distinction sets us apart from the rest of the log and timber home industry. With over 35 years building log homes, our reputation speaks for itself.  See what a few of our past clients have had to say about us in the Custom Timber Log Home reviews area.

CTLH was started in an effort to provide log cabin kits of highest quality materials and service at a fair market price.  Our plans and kits are constructed to keep the builder the top priority, and are of the highest quality log home packages available anywhere.  From the selection of plans, quality of materials, all the way to the delivery of the log home, we make every effort to exceed expectations at every step in the process. From our staggered delivery option, to the arrangement of our construction documentation, our goal is making the entire process as easy as possible.

Log Cabin Comparison Chart

Each kit is unique and requires different materials and customization by each homeowner and to the property on which it will be constructed. Special orders are the standard here, and we pride ourselves on customization to fit each situation and homeowner.  From providing the correct length of deck supports for your specific foundation requirements, to including nails and hardware necessary to complete the construction of your custom log cabin, we stand behind what we provide, and we provide what is needed and expected.  This by itself makes us stand out from the competition.

We offer differing levels of kits, and can customize any of these to fit your specific needs.

We make our customers happy.  This is the only way we know how to do business. We’re up-front about everything that is included, and we make sure that the job can be done with what we send.
