TIMBER FRAME HOMES
Wisconsin Timber Frame Services
Timberbuilt designs and builds energy efficient, architecturally distinct timber frame homes from coast to coast, and we’re proud to offer our services throughout Wisconsin.
We provide customizable designs, timber framing, and on-site assembly to create beautiful homes that are sustainable, comfortable, and engineered to last generations.
Wisconsin’s diverse landscapes—ranging from dense forests and glacial lakes to rolling farmland and scenic river valleys—provide the ideal setting for our sustainable, energy-efficient timber frame homes. Whether you’re envisioning a lakeside retreat near Minocqua, a farmhouse on the Driftless plains, or a contemporary home in Milwaukee’s suburbs, our homes bring the durability, warmth, and beauty that perfectly complement Wisconsin’s varied environments and climates.
Designs for Wisconsin Landscapes & Style
Wisconsin’s natural beauty calls for homes that enhance and harmonize with their surroundings.
In the Northwoods, where lakes and forests abound near towns like Eagle River and Minocqua, we create the ultimate cabin retreats. Imagine a timber-framed lakeside cabin with vaulted ceilings, expansive windows framing the views, and wraparound porches for outdoor living. For sloped or wooded lots, we can include walkout basements to add functionality and blend seamlessly with the terrain.
In the Driftless Area, with its rolling hills and picturesque river valleys, we draw inspiration from the region’s agricultural heritage. A farmhouse-style design with timber accents, wide porches, and natural materials blends rustic charm with modern comfort, fitting beautifully into the countryside. Our flexible designs can adapt to any rural setting while offering timeless appeal.
For urban and suburban locations around Milwaukee, Madison, or Green Bay, we offer designs that merge contemporary aesthetics with the warmth of timber framing. Whether you prefer a sleek, modern look or a traditional Wisconsin home with timber highlights, our customizable options ensure your home reflects your vision and enhances its surroundings.
Energy Efficient For Wisconsin Climate
With cold winters and warm, humid summers, energy efficiency is vital for Wisconsin homes. Our homes, constructed with structural insulated panels (SIPs), feature airtight, insulated building envelopes that regulate indoor temperatures year-round while lowering energy costs.
In winter, when northern areas like Rhinelander experience average lows in the single digits and over 100 inches of snow, our SIP construction provides superior insulation. It retains heat, minimizes drafts, and reduces heating needs, ensuring your home stays warm and energy-efficient through Wisconsin’s long, cold season.
During summer, when temperatures in cities like Milwaukee rise into the 80s°F with high humidity, our airtight SIPs block heat and maintain cool interiors. This is especially beneficial near lakes, where humidity levels can be higher. The tight construction also controls indoor air quality, reducing reliance on air conditioning and keeping energy costs manageable, even during peak summer conditions.
Engineered For Wisconsin
Wisconsin’s climate presents challenges ranging from heavy snowfall in the north to humid summers and strong winds statewide. Our timber frame homes are engineered to endure these conditions, combining robust timber construction with tightly sealed SIPs for durability and long-term stability.
In northern regions with significant snowfall, our homes are built to handle heavy snow loads. The strength of the timber frame construction supports roofs during harsh winter storms, ensuring your home remains secure and resilient.
In areas prone to high humidity, particularly near lakes and rivers, our designs prioritize moisture control. The airtight SIPs prevent unwanted moisture intrusion, improving indoor air quality and reducing the risk of mold. Timber frames add structural integrity, ensuring your home stands strong against Wisconsin’s seasonal shifts and varied weather.
From serene Northwoods cabins to family homes on the Driftless plains or urban retreats in Milwaukee, we design homes that seamlessly integrate with Wisconsin’s unique landscapes. With durability, energy efficiency, and timeless design at the forefront, our homes are crafted to last for generations while enhancing the natural beauty of the Badger State.
