John Sweet, son John and wife Ann, owners of Sweet Timber Frames, started the business in 1981. Sweet Timber Frames operates with a core crew of 4 to 6 joiners and carpenters. When Sweet Timber Frames is contracted to build a large timber frame home, we draw from a pool of experienced carpenters and timber framers.
In 1981, I purchased land in the area and wanted to build the best house I could. I became interested in timber framing because it seemed like it would provide me with the most value for my effort. The aesthetics of my home is also important to me. I liked the visual impact a timber frame home provides.
Timber frame homes are versatile, spacious and beautiful. Timber frame house plans suit both modern and classical architecture. The entire structure rests on the frame so your interior remains open and airy, giving you more living space. The timber framework is fully visible from inside, adding warmth to your home decor.
