RESIDENTIAL

We’ve been in the residential timber frame business for 30 years as a leader in the field. We take pride in taking on your timber frame home or pavilion and bringing it to life with our experience. We are also capable of retrofitting your existing space with heavy timber elements and trusses.

COMMERCIAL

We are thoroughly familiar with the commercial timber frame project process and working with general contractors. We ensure a thorough and safe process from start to finish from submittals and RFI's to our OSHA safety trained install crews.

TIMBER PRODUCTS

We are capable of handling all your heavy timber product requests from reclaimed beams to flooring, stairs, tables, heavy timber surplus, structural wood decks, crane matting, shoring timbers & more.

 SCENES FROM THE SHOP

There’s some things that a machine just can't cut and custom timber frame solutions by our skilled carpenters in the Green Mountain Timber Frame wood shop in Reading, PA are what set us apart. We are primarily a hand-cut timber frame shop as most of our heavy frame projects require the skills of a true timber frame craftsman, that a machine can't cut. We do occasionally engage the modern conveniences of CNC cutting technology on certain timber frame projects. 


Our portfolio of projects over the past 30 years includes timber frame homes, timber frame barns, timber frame trusses, timber frame pavilions, custom heavy timber carpentry, and other custom timber frame structures all started in our Reading, PA shop.

    Flexible, Cost Efficient, and Customized Hybrid timber framing is a popular choice for those seeking the architectural appeal of an authentic timber frame and conventional construction. The hybrid timber frame can serve as a functional accent in any room of your home, or just as an outside porch and patio detail. The mix of elements provides a dimensional strength to a new or already existing space. This route allows the home owner more flexibility in designing their home, as you are able to choose how much beam exposure you'd like. Hybrid timber framing is also more cost friendly. You will be able to stay within your budget when adding a hybrid timber frame to your space since it is an addition and not the foundation.

    A true commercial project in nature, Green Mountain Timber Frames was contracted to collaborate with MOD Pizza in Chambersburg, PA for the construction of their outdoor seating area. The end result is a non-traditional and contemporary timber frame structure that gives the restaurant a distinct look at the entrance of the shopping plaza it shares with Target and other major retail locations. MOD Pizza serves up individual artisan-style pizzas and salads made on demand. Customers can design their own pizzas and salads or select from a menu of MOD classics. All are the same price regardless of toppings. The handcrafted pizzas are then fired in our 800 degree display oven and ready to eat in less than 5 minutes. MOD also offers milkshakes, house-made iced teas and lemonades, local craft beer and wine (where available), and more

    Just in time for the holiday season Green Mountain Timber Frames was able to revisit a completed timber frame project in Green Hills, Pennsylvania that was already decorated for the upcoming holiday season. Exposed beams and rafters give the appearance of more space and provide a charming look in the custom great home and kitchen project. Over the last ten years, the open concept home has been growing in popularity, with expansive kitchens that overlook common living areas throughout the home. The strength of the timbers in a timber frame home allows for less load bearing walls, naturally creating an open floor plan free of obstructions. This type of framing has been used for centuries, especially in older churches, because of its strength and durability as well as its beauty.

    Pennsylvania’s Devon Yard offers a lush, eclectic, and inviting setting to meet for shopping, dining, and celebrating weddings and other life milestones. The unique immersive lifestyle experience here reflects the sensory-rich Anthropologie brand that anchors this six-acre campus in Chester County. This project required demolishing about two city blocks of buildings at a former garden center site and designing a ground-up branded development, featuring five new primary structures surrounding a central courtyard. Abundant natural light, reclaimed barn-wood floors, exposed beams, and graceful foliage and floral arrangements maintain Devon Yard’s sophisticated-rustic aesthetic in complementary designs that flow cleanly and logically from one space to the next.
