Timber Framing

Custom timber framing built for strength, precision, and lasting performance. Whether the work is structural or architectural, we craft every post, beam, and joint to carry its load and stand the test of time.

Structural Timber Components

We handcraft posts, beams, and braces with traditional joinery and engineered connections for maximum reliability. The result is timber that performs as well as it looks.

Structural Timber Trusses

Custom timber trusses designed to carry load, meet code, and elevate a structure’s architecture. We engineer each truss for its specific span and purpose, then craft it with clean, confident detail.

Timber Structures

We build complete post-and-beam systems for homes, additions, porches, pavilions, and commercial timber buildings. From the first joint to the final raise, we deliver sound, beautiful structures built to last.

  • Engineered and code-compliant design
  • Traditional joinery paired with modern connections
  • Residential, commercial, and historic projects

Timber Accent Elements

Custom timber accents that add warmth, character, and craftsmanship without compromising structural integrity. These are the details people notice and remember.

Decorative Timbers

Exposed beams, mantels, and architectural accents, custom-sized and finished to suit your space. Real timber, shaped and detailed to bring depth and warmth to a room.

Decorative Timber Trusses

Statement trusses for ceilings, great rooms, and entryways. Designed for visual impact, crafted with the same precision as our structural work.

Decorative Corbels

Handcrafted timber corbels that add visual strength and refined detail, under a beam, over an entry, or wherever a space calls for a finishing touch.

Where Timber Accents Work Beautifully

  • Great rooms and vaulted or cathedral ceilings
  • Fireplaces, mantels, and feature walls

Frequently Asked Questions

Structural timber framing carries load: posts, beams, and trusses that hold a building up. Decorative timber accents focus on appearance, with exposed beams, mantels, and corbels that add character without carrying structural weight. We do both, and often combine them in the same project.

Yes. We can add decorative beams, trusses, and corbels to most existing rooms to bring warmth and character. If you want a structural element rather than a decorative one, we assess the framing first and engineer accordingly.

We engineer our structural trusses to carry their intended load and meet code for the span and application. Decorative trusses are built to look the part without the structural requirements, and we will clearly tell you which one your project calls for.

We work with a range of timber species suited to Montana’s climate and your project’s look. During design, we will recommend the right species and finish for your structural needs and aesthetic goals.

Yes. We build residential, commercial, and historic structures, from a single decorative mantel to a complete post-and-beam pavilion.
