Timberbuilt specializes in designing and building sustainable, architecturally distinct timber frame homes across North America, and we’re proud to offer our services throughout New Hampshire.

We provide customizable designs, timber framing, and on-site assembly to create beautiful homes that are energy efficient, comfortable, and engineered to last generations.

New Hampshire’s scenic landscapes—ranging from the White Mountains to the peaceful shores of Lake Winnipesaukee—make it a great location for an energy-efficient timber frame home.

Whether you’re planning a rustic retreat in the mountains near North Conway, a lakeside home in the Lakes Region, or a classic New England-style residence in a town like Hanover, a timber frame home offers the strength, warmth, and sustainability needed to thrive in New Hampshire’s varied climates and environments.

FEATURED PROJECT:
NEW HAMPSHIRE

This recent Timberbuilt project in Henniker, New Hampshire began with our Olive Series design.

New Hampshire’s diverse natural beauty demands homes that embrace the environment while providing comfort year-round. In the White Mountains, around places like Franconia Notch and Jackson, Timberbuilt homes are designed to take full advantage of the alpine surroundings.

These homes provide plenty of outdoor living spaces, from covered porches to expansive decks, allowing you to enjoy the fresh mountain air in any season.

In the Lakes Region, where towns like Wolfeboro and Meredith sit on the shores of Lake Winnipesaukee, Timberbuilt homes can reflect the charm and style of classic New England lakeside cottages.

With open floor plans, wraparound porches, and large windows to take in the lake views, our designs are great for a lakeside retreat.

For those building in New Hampshire’s rural towns and valleys, our designs can be styled to reflect the timeless look of a New England farmhouse. Exposed timber beams, stone accents, and wide porches give these homes a rustic feel, while the floor plans allow for modern conveniences and plenty of space for family living.

This inviting patio is a perfect example of how we connect the interior of our timber homes with the surrounding environment.

New Hampshire’s climate ranges from snowy, cold winters in the mountains to humid summers along the coast and lakes.

We build our homes with structural insulated panels (SIPs) to provide the energy efficiency needed to keep homes comfortable through all seasons, while reducing energy consumption. Green building is part of our culture.

In the White Mountains, where winters can be harsh, with average temperatures in January around 15°F and snowfall totals exceeding 100 inches, Timberbuilt homes are designed to retain heat and minimize energy costs. The airtight SIPs create a highly insulated building envelope, preventing heat loss and ensuring that your home stays warm and cozy throughout the winter.

In New Hampshire’s coastal and lakeside regions, such as Portsmouth or Alton Bay, where summer humidity can be high, SIPs help keep the interior temperature stable, reducing the need for air conditioning, even during the hottest summer months.

We always strive to offer a perfect balance between outdoor living and indoor comfort.

New Hampshire’s environment can be tough on homes, with cold winters, snowstorms, and strong winds across the state. Our designs are engineered to withstand these elements, combining solid timber frame construction with airtight SIPs for maximum durability and comfort.

In the mountainous regions, such as around Bretton Woods and Mount Washington, where heavy snowfalls are the norm—often exceeding 100 inches annually—our timbers and SIPs handle the weight and stress of snow loads.

We engineer each home for its specific location to ensure your project exceeds all local codes and standards.

Whether you’re building in the mountains, valleys, or by the lakes, Timberbuilt homes are crafted to last. Our homes provide a harmonious blend of beauty, strength, and energy efficiency, making them an ideal choice for New Hampshire’s diverse landscapes and climate challenges.

From classic New England designs to modern mountain retreats, timber frame homes reflect the state’s history of craftsmanship while offering the best in modern sustainable living.
