Why Choose Shelter-Kit®? What sets us apart?
- We have been in business for over 50 years
We have a lot of experience designing buildings. We also have a very clear purpose and mission: design and manufacture kit buildings primarily for assembly by owners with no prior building experience. We continuously refine our instructions and kit details to make every project more efficient. We provide you with information and assistance to make your project successful. Customer service is very important to us, therefore, we are here to help you before, during and after your building project. - Our kits are pre-cut and specifically designed for owner assembly. They are unlike other kits, for the following reasons:
- They are easy to assemble and are error free. The required construction techniques are easy. All joints are designed for an easy fit.
- All of the terms in the instructions are easily understandable by amateurs. Our customers will work from our drawings and step-by-step instructions, instead of difficult to read blueprints.
- All of our kits are a complete, weather tight shell. Customers can chose to delete components, including windows, doors, roofing, etc., and buy those locally.
- All materials are selected for quality and ease of assembly and fit. The weight of each piece is limited to what two individuals can handle. The kits are made of individual pieces, and are not “panelized”. No cranes or lifts are required.
- We only use high quality materials
We carefully select each piece of lumber to be sure it's square and true, ensuring that your kit is as easy as possible to construct. - We custom design nearly every kit for your specific requirements-
We offer distinct types of cabins, houses, barns and garages each of which will be custom designed to meet your requirements. Options include many styles and brands of windows and doors, dormers, loft floor openings, Tees and Ells.

Uncompromising Quality at a Very Reasonable Price!
A structurally sound, great looking building begins with quality materials.
We carefully select and cut the lumber to exact dimensions, label and bundle it for easy identification and handling.
Cost factors include the size of the house, options selected and design features.
What's included in a kit?
Shelter-Kit® buildings include all of the materials required to construct a weather tight shell on your foundation: hardware, fasteners*, framing and sheathing for walls, floors and roof, siding and exterior trim, roofing, flashing, drip edge and underlayments. Our kits do not include windows and doors as part of the base price. All materials are hand selected, carefully cut to precise dimensions, labeled, and packaged in easily identifiable bundles. We do not cut clapboard, or other horizontal siding. An illustrated Construction Manual describes each step, from the installation of the sills to the roof, all in simple, easy-to-understand language. Depending on the kit, options include stairs, dormers, loft floor openings, porches and decks and a variety of trim and soffits. We will gladly work with you on the design of your kit.
*Common nails for framing, sheathing, siding and trim are not included with the kit. If you choose to use hammers to drive all of the nails we can provide bulk common nails, however, we recommend you use pneumatic nailers to drive the nails. We can provide a list of sizes, types and quantities required that you must purchase separately for the nailers that you are using.

We would be glad to give you an estimate for a kit.
To do this properly, we will need the town or city, and state where you plan to build.
We will need to know if you plan to build over a basement or crawl space, or on a slab.
We also need to know if you are building in a high wind or snow load area, and if you are building in a seismic or wildfire zone.
This information is crucial to give you the most accurate estimate.
