Conversion of Antique Timber Frame Barns into State-of–the-Art Residences

Converting Antique Timber Frame Barns into state-of-the-art homes has become one of our specialties. We have relocated barns to new sites and have also restored and converted barns on the land where they were originally built. Our technique and process of converting barns is unique. We strive to maintain the interior character of these one of a kind hand-made buildings, while enveloping the structure in a super insulated, efficiently heated shell that can withstand the harsh North Country winter climate. We have a limited inventory of barns and antique building components. If one wants to live in an antique building or integrate into their project antique components we will most likely have what you are looking for.
