TIMBER FRAME HOMES
Ohio Timber Frame Services
Timberbuilt designs and builds sustainable, architecturally distinct timber frame homes from coast to coast, and we’re proud to offer our services throughout Ohio.
We provide customizable designs, timber framing, and on-site assembly to create beautiful homes that are energy efficient, comfortable, and engineered to last generations.
Ohio’s mix of rolling countryside, dense woodlands, and scenic river valleys provides a beautiful foundation for timber frame homes that blend elegance, strength, and sustainability. A timber frame home is an ideal match for the Buckeye State, whether you’re envisioning a retreat in the Hocking Hills, a farmhouse in the rural heartland, or a riverside cabin along the Ohio River.
Designed with both resilience and beauty in mind, Timberbuilt homes capture the timeless character and versatility needed to thrive in Ohio’s diverse landscapes and seasonal shifts.
Designs for Ohio Landscapes & Style
Ohio’s varied geography allows us to craft timber frame homes that complement the unique character of each region. In the southeastern Hocking Hills, where the terrain is rich with forests and limestone cliffs, our timber frame designs are well-suited to hillside lots. Imagine a lodge-style home with large windows capturing views of the lush, wooded landscape, expansive decks for enjoying the outdoors, and an open floor plan that creates a welcoming, spacious atmosphere. For properties on sloped lots, our walkout basements provide additional living space and blend seamlessly with the hillside.
In the agricultural heartland of central and western Ohio, where the land opens up to sprawling farmland and prairie, we can modify our designs to echo the style of classic Midwestern farmhouses. Flexible layouts allow for large kitchens, mudrooms, and gathering spaces, creating a home that suits the traditional rural lifestyle while highlighting the beauty of timber framing.
Along Ohio’s many rivers, like the Ohio and the Little Miami, our homes can capture waterfront views and embrace the natural beauty of the riverside environment. A riverfront cabin with timber accents, large windows, and a screened porch fits effortlessly with the state’s scenic rivers, providing a peaceful space for weekend escapes or full-time living. We offer custom design options for decks, patios, and screened-in porches that invite you to enjoy the beauty of Ohio’s river valleys.
Energy Efficient For Ohio’s Climate
Ohio’s climate brings hot, humid summers and cold, snowy winters, making energy efficiency essential. Our timber frame homes combine traditional timber framing with structural insulated panels (SIPs) to create a tightly sealed building envelope that stabilizes indoor temperatures and reduces energy costs throughout the year.
In Ohio’s humid summer months, especially in the southern and central regions, our homes are designed to keep interiors cool by preventing heat transfer, reducing the load on air conditioning. SIPs create an airtight barrier that keeps humidity in check and improves indoor air quality, minimizing the risk of mold—a benefit in Ohio’s occasionally damp climate.
In the winter, particularly in the northern part of the state where lake-effect snow is common, SIPs help retain warmth and reduce heat loss, making our homes affordable to heat and comfortable even in the coldest months. Our designs incorporate passive solar gain, with windows and overhangs positioned to capture sunlight in winter and provide shade in summer. This thoughtful approach ensures energy efficiency and comfort, no matter the season.
Engineered For Ohio
Ohio’s landscape and weather patterns, with seasonal snowfall, occasional high winds, and flood-prone river areas, call for homes that are built to endure. Our timber frames are crafted to withstand the elements, using solid timbers and SIPs that create both beauty and resilience.
In Ohio’s open farmlands and river valleys, where high winds and storms can occur, our homes are engineered to stand strong, providing wind resistance and a solid structure you can count on.
For properties near rivers and lakes or in areas with high water tables, we offer elevated foundation options and walkout basements, which protect against potential flooding and add functional living space.
In Ohio’s colder, snowy regions, our SIPs and timber framing provide a robust structure capable of supporting heavy snow loads, ensuring that your home remains safe and stable year-round. Our attention to detail and commitment to quality mean that every home we build is engineered for its exact location.
From farmhouses to lakeside retreats, our designs bring elegance and resilience to the Buckeye State, creating homes that are built to last.
