Affordable Materials for California Log Cabin Kits
California log cabin kits can contain a variety of building materials. Some suppliers include all the lumber, windows, doors, and hardware needed to assemble the superstructure of the home, ie. log walls, roof system, floor systems, interior walls, decks, porches, garage, etc. This option might not be the most cost-effective source of building materials. As a rule, the more middlemen in the materials supply chain the higher the cost to the end user.
As a leading California log cabin kit supplier, Sierra Log & Timber operates on the philosophy of assisting the homeowner in securing materials at the lowest cost, even if it is from a different supplier. Purchasing as close to the factory as possible is typically the lowest-cost option.

What Style of California Log Home Do You Want?
An important decision you’ll need to make is cabin style, such as western, ranch, A-frame alpine, chalet, or even modern. You’ll also need to decide the layout size and number of rooms, bedrooms, and bathrooms.
We offer customized log floor plans or can modify an existing design to suit your needs. Consider the terrain of the building site, what views are available, and the driveway approach carefully when deciding on one versus two-story cabins.
Quality California Log Home Builders
Investing in a log cabin kit is only half the battle—you also need an experienced builder to assemble your dream cabin properly. Always hire licensed professionals who specialize in log home construction versus standard frame housing. This ensures they have expertise working with hand-crafted or milled logs.
Sierra Log and Timber have decades of knowledge crafting stunning log cabins from kits sourced from top manufacturers. We are bonded and insured, which is another important consideration.
Budget Considerations for California Log Cabin Kits
It is important to have a reasonable understanding of the anticipated total project costs before beginning construction. We have 30+ years of experience assisting clients budget the anticipated cost of building their log cabin or log home before we start to help them keep from running out of money before we finish the project.
A log cabin kit exists that meets every budget, however, the kit must be for a home design that sufficiently meets your needs. The cost of the kit is largely dictated by the size of the home as well as the size and shape of the logs being used.
Understand that although the log home kit is the most substantial amount of building materials for the log home, it is typically less than 25% of the total cost of building the home or cabin when built by a general contractor. Don’t be fooled by the low cost of a log cabin kit.
We Choose Durable, Quality Log Cabin Materials
Most log homes in the US are built using pine. The second most popular choice is Douglas Fir. Although these wood species are durable in some environments, any parts that are exposed to the elements often deteriorate prematurely, especially log railing.
The use of cedar significantly extends the longevity of the wood due to its natural resistance to rot and decay. To achieve the longest life with the least maintenance, we use a wood species that is naturally resistant to decay. We take pride in using only top-tier materials in our custom log cabin kits in California.
