Every house has a story worth more than a thumbnail.

Three recent ones. On a real site these would be your photographs — which is the part of a builder's website that does the selling, and the part nobody else can copy.

Beardstown · Timber frame

A barn frame that had to stay a barn

The family wanted the 1911 structure kept and a house put inside it. We took the frame down bent by bent, replaced eleven members with white oak cut nine miles away, and set it back on a new foundation. The original hay track is still in the ceiling.

Lobelville · New build

Forty acres, one window that mattered

The whole plan turned on a single view down the hollow. We set the ridge fourteen degrees off square to catch it, which complicated every roof detail and was unquestionably the right call. Everything else followed from that decision.

Hohenwald · Restoration

Two hundred years of settling, undone

A dogtrot cabin with a four-inch sag and no square corner in it. Jacked over five months, a quarter inch at a time, so nothing cracked. The owners lived in it the whole way through.

What we build

If it is not on this list we will tell you honestly, and usually tell you who to call instead.

Custom homes

Ground up, from your plans or drawn with an architect we have worked with for years.

Timber framing

Traditional joinery, cut in our shop. Frames raised for other builders as well as our own.

Restoration

Old houses and barns kept standing. Structural work first, appearance second.

Additions

Built so the join does not show in ten years, which is mostly a foundation question.

Outbuildings

Shops, garages and pole barns, framed to the same standard as the house.

Consulting

A structural opinion before you buy. Often the cheapest money anyone spends with us.

“We only take four houses a year. That is not a sales line — it is the number I can be on site for every day, and being on site every day is the whole job.”

We book about a year out. Early conversations cost nothing and often save a great deal.
