Embrace the allure of Old World craftsmanship, embodying Early American strength, endurance, and timeless values. Our timber frame homes are a testament to the beauty of doing things the "old-fashioned way."
Experience the authenticity of real wood timbers meticulously joined with mortises and tenons, held together by solid oak pegs. This method creates not just a home, but a structure of enduring beauty and strength, built to last.
With load-bearing posts and beams, enjoy unparalleled flexibility in design. Interior walls no longer dictate support, allowing you to place them wherever you desire or forgo them entirely. Revel in spacious open floor plans and soaring cathedral ceilings that define timber frame architecture.
Experience a plethora of design possibilities with greater flexibility in window quantity, location, and sizes. Let the natural light accentuate the beauty of your timber frame home, creating an atmosphere that is both inviting and admired.
Our commitment to merging tradition with modern technology is evident in the use of Structural Insulated Panels (SIPS). These panels, combining extruded foam with oriented strand board (OSB), not only add design flexibility but also enhance energy efficiency and overall comfort.
Timber framing is not just a construction style; it's a green building choice. With the use of SIPS panels, our homes earn "green" points for construction air tightness and a building envelope with limited thermal bridging, resulting in significant gains in energy efficiency, lower heating and cooling costs, and increased living comfort. Plus, our commitment to using wood timbers as a renewable resource ensures a sustainable choice for your dream home.
Explore the unmatched elegance and environmental responsibility of timber frame construction with Smith & Robertson.
By the time we became acquainted with Timberpeg® in the 1980’s, we were already experienced mortise-and-tenon, post and beam builders, familiar with both the handcrafted look of timber frame homes, and the precision such hand crafting required. In those early days, we would measure, cut, and chisel each mortise and tenon by hand, a very painstaking process. Discovering a company that was designing, engineering and manufacturing post and beam structures of such high quality was an eye opener. We found that Timberpeg® allowed us to streamline post and beam construction without sacrificing craftsmanship.
