Building a Post and Beam Home.

Building your own home is a big deal...Even better if you are building a post and beam home. This may not be your first home as post and beam construction offered by a high end timber framer will be an investment. So, maybe it's your second home?

Interested in hand crafted quality, mortise and tenon joinery and custom design? Well then, you are in the right place. Vermont Timber Works has been building timber frames for over 27 years. 

So many choices, so many timber frame companies...how do you know which one is a good match for you? Do what you are doing right now, research and read about timber framers and what they offer. Ask about previous projects, clients and references. Word of mouth is a powerful thing.

From your ideas to the shop drawings to raising your post and beam home, let Vermont Timber Works give you a hand.  We are happy to talk with you, tell us about your project!

posts and beams and post and beam and posts .....you get the picture!

Posts and beams throughout, this is what many dream homes are made of. Post and beam construction combined with traditional joinery and custom designs, available at Vermont Timber Works, Inc.

Native hemlock timbers where chosen for the rustic barn frame. Pretty fireplace!

Post and Beam Warmth

Post and Beam Construction adds a feeling of warmth, don't you think so? Traditional joinery and rustic timber beams are a favorite in New England and beyond.

Just incase you need a little extra warmth this winter, maybe Ruby will let you borrow her new blanket? Or....maybe not.

Vermont Timber Works custom designs each project to suit the clients needs. Give a call to discuss your post and beam home, barn or building. We would love to be involved!

Post and Beam Dream Come True

For some people having a post and beam house would be a dream come true...for these same people, having TWO would be an even bigger dream come true. For one Rockingham, VT client, her dream has arrived. Not only one post and beam structure, but a timber frame barn and a timber frame home. BOTH by Vermont Timber Works and Richard Monahon Architects.

Congrats Carol, the barn is really shaping up...stay tuned for many post and beam home pictures soon...

One of my favorite post and beam homes...

Vermont Timber Works Chase House. This 24 x 40 hemlock post and beam home has a very straight forward design.
Can you see the 4 bents? 3 bays?
How about now?

This is a wonderful starter home design with plenty of timber frame addition possibilities as your family grows.

One thought is a post and beam garage with living space above. Connecting through a timber frame breeze way which includes a new post and beam entry and porch area. I think that is a great idea!

The Post and The Beam...more than just posts & beams!

Lets talk about post & beam construction. When I joined Vermont Timber Works I knew very little about post & beam construction. Posts are the vertical timbers, beams are the horizontal timbers and of course the braces. AND all of these things seemed to be in the way when designing a custom kitchen into a post and beam home. Well, since then, I've learned about the other timber members that are needed. From the exposed timber trusses to the plates, connectors, rafters and/or purlins, depending on the design. Ridge beams, hammer beams, hammer posts, ties, girts, struts...and more.

If you would like to learn more, please take a moment to review our web site and give us a call with questions. Vermont Timber Works, Inc.

Post & Beam Construction @ its Finest!

The custom designed post and beam home, it doesn't get much better than this in our eyes. Timber in rough sawn native hemlock with an extra sanding process. (removing the sweater catchers) Love that chandelier!

Custom designing give you so many options, and so many choices. You are not locked into a pre-designed or pre-engineered frame at Vermont Timber Works. Whether it be a very rustic look in hand hewn pine, or a more finished look in planed & chamfered douglas fir, or something in the middle. If a quality, custom designed, hand crafted timber frame, Vermont Timber Works is the company for you. Call us 802-886-1917.

Dan & Doug are the owners of Vermont Timber Works, and they are both very hands on. Between the shop drawings and design, material orders and layout on the timbers & financial, they do it all.

Pete is our professional engineer, involved in the preliminary engineering, through out the design and he gets to put his stamp on all of our timber frames.

Rick, our estimator, has been working with Doug & Dan for 20 years. You should hear them when they start joking around, it's great. Rick also does layout and pretty much everything! Most recently Rick has been working on many estimates for Sue and I, the John Mazur project as well as Spruce Peak.

Vermont Timber Works shop crew consists of Mikey, James, Kellin, Todd, Jason, Stephen & Mike. The same guys that cut and finish your frame are the ones raising your frame. Thanks to all of you that let me take those project photos....!!

Megan & Denise handle all of the administrative, keeping all the important things in order and organized. Sue & I work in sales, searching for the new projects and coordinating the ones on the boards. That's us and we would love to be part of your post and beam project.
