Handcrafted timber work, milled in our own yard.
Timber frames, trusses, and milled log kits — cut with the same handcrafted techniques we’ve used since 2004, and bought through Rustic Lumber Store.
We assemble the structure. We don’t run your whole job.
Here’s the honest deal: Timber Ridge no longer general-contracts homes from start to finish — restorations are our focus now. But the skills that built 40+ homes are still here, and on the right project our crew will assemble the timber or log structure for you: frames raised, trusses set, log walls stacked true. Your builder or general contractor runs the rest of the job — foundation, finishes, and everything after the structure stands.
It’s the same arrangement for timber-frame porches and additions on existing log and timber homes — the structure work is ours, the project is yours.
True mortise and tenon. No shortcuts.
We build our timber frames with handcrafted techniques only — true mortise-and-tenon joinery with wooden pegs, oversized timbers, and hand-chiseled cuts. Too many frames today come out of production factories in volume, held together with steel plating. We stick with what’s been proven for thousands of years.
- Hand-cut joinery — mortise and tenon, secured with wooden pegs
- Square or full round timbers — frames built to your design and style
- Milled in Louisville — our own sawmill and log yard, running since 2012
- Ships nationwide — pre-cut frame components can go anywhere in the country
- More than frames — timber trusses, stairs, post and beam, pergolas, and slab tables
