Reasons for Wanting a Timber Frame Home in Maine

By Anne Lorena


Over the years, many homeowners have chosen to construct timber frame Maine homes. Prized for their lasting strength and reliability, homes made with timber have always been in style. And with modern construction technology, there are a number of home builders that can plan and construct your dream home with unique timber frame designs and perhaps more importantly, within your budget.

Homeowners in Maine should consider themselves very lucky to have a number of contractors with the skills and technology to build their dream homes down to the last design detail.

Of course, timber frames are not the only building material you can use to construct your dream home in the Maine area. But timber frames do have a number of advantages over other home building materials.

The following are the advantages of constructing a timber frame Maine home:

1. Can be erected fast - If you want a home now, building a timber frame home is a smart idea. Timber framing contractors in Maine needs only 2-3 days to erect an average size home. For larger homes, 4-8 days are needed. Now this is fast.

And because it takes less a much lesser time to build a timber frame home, you can get lots of savings on labor costs.

2. Flexible options on heating and cooling systems - Timber frame homes give contractors flexible options on HVAC systems and an easy time on installing the system.

As timber frame Maine homes use SIPs (structurally insulated panels) and fewer panels than a traditional home, you get energy efficiency.

3. Built for many years - Strength and reliability are among the highly valued qualities of a timber frame home. As compared to conventional wooden houses, timber frame homes are built to last for many years and the worst of weather conditions.

And strong, majestic timber frame homes standing beautifully to this day are proof that these homes are indeed built for a lifetime.

4. Savings - The best advantage that a timber frame home offers is perhaps the savings it gives the homeowner on labor costs and energy bills.
