Custom Timber Frame Structures

Our team of craftsmen takes pride in fabricating fine timber frame structures such as homes, barns, gazebos, farm stands, pergolas, etc. Our frames are usually made of local Eastern White Pine, Hemlock, and Red and White oak timbers. Other timbers of non-native species like Southern Yellow Pine, Douglas fir, and Western Cedar can also be used. Antique hewn timbers from old barns are other options we offer. All of our traditional compound joineries are made using both power and hand tools, and are held with seasoned white oak pegs. All of our frames are pre-assembled to ensure a safe and trouble-free frame raising, thus helping to keep the crane time cost to a minimum. Frame raising by hand can be done upon customer request.

We provide a full General Contracting service nationwide. Please do not hesitate to call us to get in touch with one of our architects from your area. All of our frame and house plans are stamped by a licensed engineer. Our structures are built like our forefathers did, and will last for centuries to come.
