Carolina Timberworks
North Carolina-based timber frame company, serving the entire U.S.
We partner with architects, builders, and homeowners to design, engineer, fabricate, and professionally install custom post and beam and timber frame structures.
What Is a Timber Frame?
Timber framing is Carolina Timberworks’ passion and specialty. We work with architects and general contractors (and occasionally the right homeowner) across North Carolina and the United States to provide architectural timber framing for various residential and commercial projects. Timber framing is a traditional method of building with heavy timbers that has been continuously in use for almost two thousand years. To be candid, we’re drawn to and love the timber frame. It’s the best, longest-lasting, and most beautiful way to build we know of.
Trust requires a relationship.
We help builders who are frustrated working with timber frame subcontractors who are cost-efficient but a pain to deal with; who have been burned by 1 or 2 page bids that are not crystal clear about what is included (and what isn’t); and who are forced to deal with subs who get behind or don’t take responsibility for their mistakes.
We’re not the right fit for every project, but if any of this rings true, we’d like to talk with you.

CNC Operator, on Where to Stop on the Road
Thomas is an old-timer, having joined Carolina Timberworks as a beginner timber framer in 2008. A few hundred projects later, he’d become one of the best timber framers in the company. Today you’ll find him operating, troubleshooting, and maintaining our state-of-the-art German CNC machine.
What are you world-class at? Working. And helping people. Anyone can call me and I’ll help.
What’s the hardest part of your job that nobody knows? The stress of making sure everything is right.
One thing I’ve learned from my travels is: Only stop at truck stops. Cleanest bathrooms, food is good, and plenty of room to park.
