Our team regularly works with clients in Illinois to create custom timber frame homes tailored to their needs, budget, and design ideas. Whether you’re looking for a modern timber frame home or something more traditional, our team will help you craft a timber frame residence that perfectly aligns with your vision.

Timber frame homes are commonly revered for their dramatic exposed beam interiors and open floor plans, but there are plenty of benefits to building timber frame structures aside from their aesthetic appeal. For instance, timber frame homes offer superior durability in comparison to conventionally-framed homes – a result that’s owed to the use of large heavy timbers over dimensional lumber to create the structural frame. This makes timber frame homes a natural choice for clients located in severe storm and blizzard-prone areas like Illinois, as timber frame homes can withstand extreme weather conditions better than most homes built today.

Timber frame homes are also inherently energy-efficient structures, considering wood is a naturally insulating building material. This makes it possible for clients to save on energy bills every month, especially during the freezing winter season. Additionally, our clients can enjoy major savings on their timber frame home investments as a byproduct of our hybrid framing method. Our use of traditional timber framing in combination with conventional framing methods allows our exposed heavy timbers to shine in areas of your home designed for entertaining, including your great room, kitchen, and master suite, while reducing costs in less frequented spaces.
