Timber frame homes are an integral part of the Vermont heritage. Because of the labor and skill that goes into building a timber frame and the wood’s unique properties of retaining moisture and resistance to corrosion, timber frame structures can endure tough environmental conditions.
At John J. Read Construction, we specialize in building timber frame homes using local materials and skills honed by 25 years of experience. We provide a full range of construction services, from new homes and barns to kitchen and bathroom renovations and property maintenance.
Our skilled carpenters create custom wooden furniture, decorative molding and trimming, and built-ins for your homes in our Stratton-based workshop. We aim to provide clients with a reliable service from qualified contractors and builders they can trust.
With extensive knowledge of timberwork and in-house capabilities to meet all your timber frame requirements, we create beautiful timber frame homes on time and within your budget.
Effective client communication is at the core of everything we do. It’s vital to understand client requirements for a successful delivery. This is why our first step is an initial consultation to go over your design specifications and budget with an on-site survey.
Once we finalize your design plan, we collaborate with the engineers and architects to refine the concept to effectively integrate the timber frame with your space. The sketches are drawn with material estimates and costs for your approval.
Using local wood, mortise, and tenon joinery, we apply proven techniques, modern engineering, and skills to create a stunning and durable timber frame for your new home. If you need excavation and site work services before construction, we have state of the art machinery and professional contractors to prepare your site and dig foundations.
Each project we undertake keeps your needs at the forefront, prioritizing energy efficiency, insulation, environmental factors, and stability – giving you timber frames that last for generations. Book an appointment today.
