A kit home is
meant to package all the
necessary precut materials
needed to build your enclosed
structure without having
to worry about buying each
piece individually. Linwood
manufactures each area of
your house, precut for easy
construction, and panelizes
the exterior walls systems
as an option. The package
offered is one of the most
comprehensive kits available
in the industry right down
to the windows, doors, roofing,
clips, nails, caulking,
and adhesives. Linwood Homes
also stands out above the
rest by offering top quality,
kiln dried, precut and panelized
framing materials with quality
specifications, such as
their 15" rafters and
laminated glulam beams,
and select grade Canadian
Western Red Cedar. Window
selections include optional
Jeldwin wood cased vinyl
clad or their equivalents
from Canada as a commitment
to our superior quality.
No. A common
misconception
is that kit
or package homes
are modular.
All Linwood & Maple
products are “stick
built” homes,
and are not
preassembled
or prefabricated.
We represent and build
five different product lines,
ranging from traditional
styles, post & beam,
timber frame, to log homes.
Log homes can be built in
full-round, D-profile (round
on the outside, flat on
the inside) and other profiles.
Summit Custom Homes relies
upon post & beam architecture
and construction to support
the weight of the roof instead
of conventional trussed,
stick house construction.
It can also be combined
with conventional construction
for cost and design efficiency.
This engineering system
allows you to design your
dream home with as much
open space areas as desired
without the interior wall
supports that would ordinarily
be needed, obstructing the
view and limiting the open
effect.
Summit Custom Homes can help
you design your custom home.
Your own rough concept sketch
or detailed CAD drawings,
it doesn’t matter.
We encourage our customers
to take part in the design
process. Customers can also
choose from ideas from our
variety of plan books, a
combined selection of over
200 building plans. We find
that most often, our customers
will find the perfect design
in the plan books and modify
the floor plan, dimensions,
and square footage to meet
their needs.
Western Red Cedar is
recognized for its superior
qualities outdoors. It is
pitch free, fine grained,
and has natural preservative
oils, which allows it to
resist cracking, splitting,
shrinking, rotting, and
insect molestation including
termites. Western Red Cedar
is graded by quality; number
1, number 2, premium, and
select grades. We use only
select grade Western Red
Cedar, which is the highest
quality, graded for its
uniformity, beautiful grains,
varied color, natural oil
extraction, and clear or
tight knot features.

At
Summit Custom Homes, we
offer you choices, custom
design (including hybrids)
and comprehensive packages.
- Choices - As authorized
dealers for
Linwood Homes
and Maple
Homes, we
offer the
most options
available
anywhere.
You can build
a home from
one of our
plans, or
from a plan
we custom-design
for you. Your
home can be
post & beam,
log or timber
frame, or
you can mix
these different
building systems
into your
custom plan
to create
a hybrid home.
Finally, you
can work with
a contractor,
build your
own home,
or contract
out some of
the work while
doing the
rest yourself.
We can help
you decide
what's best
for you.
- Custom
Design - We can help
you design
your home,
work with
a plan you've
already found,
or you can
select from
hundreds of
plans from
Linwood. We
can also modify
a stock plan
to better
suit your
needs and
make the house
uniquely yours.
In addition,
we can combine
log, timber
frame and
conventional
elements to
create a custom
hybrid home
for you. All
design services
are at no
cost to you,
and instead
are included
in the price
of the package
or finish
price if Summit
is serving
as general
contractor.
We offer the most complete,
high-quality packages in
the industry. Our home kits
include all the materials
you need to enclose your
home, including framing
materials, siding, windows,
doors, roofing -- even the
nails, caulking and adhesives.
These packages also include
design and construction
blueprints. Options include
sunrooms and solariums,
decking and railings.
Packages do not include
the foundation, electrical,
plumbing, HVAC, insulation,
drywall, and the interior
items mentioned above, but
are optional.
No. The tariff is applied
to lumber only. Since our
home packages contain precut
lumber that is bundled with
roofing, windows, doors
and other materials, they
are considered "value
added" products and
are not subject to the tariff.
Sure.
We have numerous
companies that
we do business
with on a daily
basis, both
local and regional
banks and mortgage
companies. We
would be glad
to help you
connect with
several institutions
that will
fit your needs.
Please do! We would
love to have you see our product
first hand. Email or Call
Summit Custom Homes at (434)
244-5600 or (434) 566-1998 to
make an appointment.
