About Us
We have been in the industry a long while.
On a back lot in Vermont in 1993, founding partners Paul Martin, and Tom Harrison created from their passion of woodworking and knowledge of design, the establishment known as Vermont Timber Frames Inc.
This partnership grew out of New England’s log-building and barn-raising traditions—craft passed from master to apprentice on farmsteads and in small hill-town shops. Our early work restoring historic structures shaped the way we build today: full-profile logs, pegged mortise-and-tenon joinery, and clean, weather-tight corners that echo classic Vermont camps and homesteads. Over the decades, we’ve carried those methods forward, pairing scribe- and square-rule layout with modern engineering and CNC precision so heritage details meet today’s performance. Many of our team learned the trade the traditional way—hands on, beam by beam—before helping develop the refined processes we use in our shop now. The result is a Log-Home & Timber Frame craft that feels authentic from the first glance and endures like the barns and covered-bridge work that inspired it—warm, quiet, and built to be handed down.
