Reclaimed Buildings

   When you purchase an antique timber frame "Kit" you are purchasing true authentic pioneer craftsmanship. Our frames are well over 100 years old, and feature beautifully hewn timbers by some of Canada's first settlers.

Timber Salvage Process

  After we carefully "skin" the structure by removing all the tin roofing, pole rafters and barn board siding, the entire frame is exposed for further inspection. If we detect any rot or breakage we will replace that timber from our large inventory, implementing the very same framing techniques used 150 years ago.

   We clean the frame using high pressure water, let it dry and then number each piece to assist your contractor with re-assembly. We also provide computerized drawings and photos. If you don't have a contractor, we can assist you in finding one.
