Heavy Timber Trusses,Post and Beam Projects, Timber Framing

If you've been considering building a Timber Frame Home, or using Heavy Timber to dress up your existing residence, Vermont Timber Works can help.

Building with Heavy Timber is very different than building with conventional methods, and sometimes clients aren't exactly sure what to expect when inquiring about a Timber Frame.

Here are a few quick tips that I'm hoping will help to enlighten you before you get started.

When Calling to inquire about a Timber Frame, whether for a heavy timber home, a Post and Beam Barn, a commercial project, or even just a few decorative trusses, be prepared to learn that from start to finish, the process of purchasing a timber frame and receiving the final product generally takes about 12-14 weeks.

Also, please keep in mind that the tools and the fabrication process for building with Heavy Timber are very different than conventional framing, and that the costs cannot be compared "apples to apples". If you have a budget that doesn't allow for a complete Heavy Timber Frame, perhaps a few Timber Accents would add a certain new flare to your project. We'd be happy to suggest a truss design for your Great Room or Kitchen.

Please call us for a free estimate. I'm sure that Vermont Timber Works can provide you with a Timber Framing Plan to meet both your needs and your budget.

Timber Framing, Post and Beam Construction.....

No matter what you choose to call it- it's all the same. But not all Timber Framing COMPANIES are the same- That's for SURE!

There are those who manufacture Timber KITS, and there are those who put all the Heavy Timber through big machines to create perfectly symmetrical pieces- and then there is Vermont Timber Works.

Every Timber Framed Barn, Post and Beam Home, and Heavy Timber Church Truss that we have created is UNIQUE. There are no two exactly the same. We take pride in the fact that we build everything by hand. We even hand cut the mortise and tenon joinery.

We do not supply windows, doors, siding or trim. We just do what we do best, and that is to create a Timber FRAME.

Timber Frame Tales about Post and Beam Construction...

Not so long ago, (actually. presently) in a not so far away land...(If you're anywhere near North Springfield, VT) there was a MAGICAL place called Vermont Timber Works.

In this place lied all the secrets of true Post and Beam craftsmanship.

Wondrous Timber Framed Barns and Beautiful Post and Beam Houses were created in this place, as well as Exquisite Timber Trusses to adorn Churches and Post and Beam Great Rooms.

It was once said that magical elves worked day and night to make these things happen, but I'm not sure that I would call them ELVES- (What do YOU think?)

You know you want a Timber Frame......

And why wouldn't you?

A Post and Beam House, or a Timber Framed Barn can add so much character to your property.

With traditional Mortise and Tenon style joinery, or steel connectors and rods, Timber Trusses are by far the most amazing way to dress up a building.
