Arlington Timber Frame Company

Post and beam construction for timber frame homes

Arlington Frame Company will build a timber frame for your dream home or cottage using classic, old time mortise and tenon joinery.

Visible, load bearing posts and beams define the open interior.

You will love living inside a strong, solid timber frame home built to last for generations.

From the menu above left, take a look at some of our past projects in our Portfolio. You'll find full timber frames, partial or hybrid timber frames, and timber frame additions.

If you just want a touch of timber, consider adding a few posts and beams to your existing house.

As well as houses, we build timber frame cottages, churches, barns, studios and other buildings.

We will raise your timber frame in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland & Labrador, or elsewhere in Canada. We can ship a frame anywhere.

We also offer timber frame design and drafting services.

Put our 30 years of timberframing experience to work for you!

From one of our clients:

Forrest, we are absolutely thrilled with our timber frame. As you know we took 10 years to reach a decision. During that time we researched other companies. We even rented a timber frame house done by a competitor. My wife and I discovered that large beams don't necessarily make it a "real" timber frame. Unlike Arlington, there was no classic joinery, and the frame was not even structural. We now refer to these other timber frames as "timber frame style". We are glad we got the real deal. Who knew we'd find one of the most outstanding timber frame companies going in Nova Scotia!
