Log Home Package Contents

Our Complete Log Home Package is one of the most inclusive in the industry. Many of our standard items are not even offered as options by other companies. If you are comparing packages among log home companies, you may want to refer to the Vendor Comparison, which provides key features to compare with other company's products.

The complete home package can be modified to suit your needs. Your Katahdin Dealer or Katahdin Representative can help you determine what modifications might be necessary.
