| Consultation |
|
If you have considered a barn project abroad, please e-mail us with any question you may have. We do travel meeting with various home owners, engineers, and architects to ensure a proper and safe project, especially when dealing with old timber frame structures. On some occasions a timber analysis on old beams may be required in some states. We have numerous structural engineers who are experienced in dealing with antique timbers. We often speak what is best and right for such buildings. |
| Barn Appraisal / Damage Assessment |
|
Timber frame construction differs from conventional "stick" framing which is found on many different levels. Antique timbers, barn boards and other components in an antique frame are quite costly to replace. Procurement isn't the only problem with repairing your existing structure as timber frame structures are assembled by mortise and tenon assembly. If 60% or more beams in a barn or house frame is considered, the entire frame may have to be completely rebuilt. On many occasions the frame can be repaired/restored while still standing and remaining intact. We service home owners in Antique Frame assessment and damages for insurance/appraisal purposes nationwide. If your antique barn or home is damaged by any form of loss, it is important you contact an expert in the field. We do provide formal documentation based on your damaged structurs that are crucial to give to your building inspector, insurance adjustor, and/or realtor. |
