A timber frame home is a unique, picturesque dwelling without compare. Your vision for the design will be translated into an architectural marvel that you can call your own!

If you’re looking to build a timber frame house in the Mid-Atlantic region, then you have come to the right place. Timber framing is an ancient art that has been used for centuries and continues to be a popular method of building homes today.

Timber Frame Homes versus Post and Beam Homes

Timber framing is a traditional technique that has been used for centuries. It’s an excellent choice if you are looking for a more environmentally friendly home. 

Post-and-beam construction, on the other hand, is modern but still offers many benefits over conventional building methods. 

Timber framed homes are more expensive to build, but they also do not require fasteners or hardware as post and beam houses do.

Instead timber frames utilize mortise and tenon joinery which saves time in building these types of houses because everything fits together with precision rather than relying on additional fasteners and steel plates to join the timbers of post and beam homes.

Highline Construction is experienced in taking your dream and turning it into reality. The precision of the craftsman guarantees not only a long-lasting, durable, and environmentally friendly product but also proven aesthetics that suit your needs.
