What's in a Kit? What's Not?
Example: Equinox 2836 Enertia® House |
|
Everyone asks, "What does the kit include and what do we have to supply? This is a generic explanation of the kit contents based on an example house - in this case, the Equinox 2836. |
 |
Finished Home appearance may be dramatically different reflecting choice of trim style, windows, roof surface, dormers, decks and porches. Some option packages available from Enertia include:
* Heavy Timber Porch Frames
* Timber post and wall package for Walk-Out Level
* Matching siding for dormers, additions, framed garages
* Solid wood wall Garage package – attached or detached
