Building a house requires skilled craftsmanship.
Creating a home can only be achieved by designing living spaces
that truly reflect your personal style. At Timber Creek Post &
Beam Company we do both.
We design and hand-craft timber framed homes that blend an inspiring
mix of age - old building methods and modern technology. Using
the 300 year-old tradition of timber joinery
that offers uncompromising strength and
durability, each Timber Creek home is designed for generations
of memories. |

The subtle beauty of a timber framed home is
enhanced by it's practical advantage of energy efficiency and
design flexibility .Custom - designed
to maximize the warmth and natural beauty of wood beams, the spacious
interiors feature carefully orchestrated layouts, with each room
flowing into another, from cozy nooks to spacious cathedrals,
a timber frame home presents a welcome ambiance of comfort and
style.

Timber frame homes possess a rich heritage. Finely crafted and
meticulously assembled, each piece -- from the gently curved braces
to the soaring cathedrals — bear the beauty of the tree
and the art of the craftsmen.
The framing of a Timber Creek home is crafted of eastern white
pine timbers. This native material is plentiful and most consistent
for aesthetic beauty, and structural stability. Untreated, oil-rubbed,
stained, or paint applied, eastern white pine — with its
straight, soft grain and beautifully light color — lends
itself well to many types of finishes. The structural framework
(vertical posts and horizontal beams) are interlocked using mortise
and tenon joints secured by oak pegs. Each joint has been finished
by hand using a chisel and mallet, assuring a perfect fit. An
exterior shell wraps around the outside of the post and beam frame,
allowing the beautiful hand-crafted timbers to be exposed to the
interior spaces. |

.
Timber Creek provides all the required materials that will be
necessary for a weather-tight shell. The insulated wall system
offers two basic choices for the interior surface; drywall or
wood with an exterior sheathing on the outside surface. A wood
ceiling finish is a standard to the Timber Creek package, followed
by an insulation layer and exterior sheathing.
As part of our package, we provide design and technical consultation,
architectural drawings consisting of four exterior elevations,
floor plans, foundation plan, building cross-section, and timber
frame drawings. |
