The Timberframe Horizons Difference

Design. Source. Build.

When you’ve made the decision to embark on building your dream home, the process of choosing an architect, builder, and other contractors is often overwhelming. At Timberframe Horizons, we give personal attention and custom care to every client by managing everything in-house. That’s right, everything.

We’re based near Asheville, North Carolina and have helped many families build environmentally-friendly custom timber frame homes throughout Western North Carolina and the surrounding areas.

Our Commitment to You

Timberframe Horizons designs and builds visions from the ground up, transforming the way you live. Whether you are building your dream home or a weekend hideaway, the warmth of a timber frame home inspires you to relax and step back in time to when the world moved at a more comfortable pace.

Gorgeously designed and energy-efficient, each custom home is healthy, cozy, and ready to be enjoyed by your family for many years to come.

If you want to work with a company that is as passionate about your home as you are, let’s get started!

Our Process

Once you’ve contacted us, here’s the short version of the steps we’ll take to bring your vision to life:

An in-depth consultation to discuss your vision, including a review of your property, design suggestions, and building strategies.
We will design an energy-efficient home based on your wants and needs, and present the plan for your review.
Once the plan is finalized, we’ll responsibly source the timber for construction of your home.
Timberframe Horizons will build your ecologically sound home using our own brand of timber frame, crafted onsite at our fully-equipped shop in Fairview, NC.
We’ll hand you the keys along with our best wishes for years of happiness in your new home!

Let's Connect

After a lot of research, we selected Tom and his team to design and build our new home. Tom has a great sense of style and design, very knowledgeable of the craft and responsive to our requests. Working with he and his talented crew exceeded our expectations. I would consider the completed house perfect execution. It’s obvious they take pride in their work and we’re proud of the home he built for us.

T. Conway

Client

Timberframe Horizons was our designer and builder for our hybrid home. We were very pleased with the detail and organization of the overall design package. Specifically, the 3-D model was important for the initial design which we made changes to a few times. Tom Rouse is an excellent listener and does not push his ideas but does give good honest feedback.

R. Boehme

From the moment we first stepped into the shop at Timberframe Horizons we were treated with respect and like family…everyone was so warm and welcoming. Tom and his crew always took the time to answer our questions and explain their process during the design and installation of our timber frame. Our dream home is now a reality thanks to their expertise and excellent craftsmanship.

Tom and his staff were instrumental in the design and build of our new home in Asheville. They were knowledgeable, professional, insightful and easy to work with. The whole crew was incredibly professional and friendly…the entire process was just great! We now have a beautiful home thanks to our T.H. friends and grateful for their hard work.

Even as a general contractor, I can say our clients project was extensive and complex. TFH provided us with exceptional services in all areas including design, 3-D modeling and project planning.

Thanks Tom for doing a great job for us and our client!
