Post and Beam Work
Newly constructed Post and Beam homes in New Jersey are unfortunately a rarity. I say unfortunately, because of it's many advantages.
Post and Beam homes, such as the one seen above, are built with quality in mind. It takes some time to do especially if you do this alone as I have with very little help. The frame is constructed from 8"x8" Oak beams that gives it not only strength but also character and the true feeling of quality.
The exposed beams throughout the house go along perfectly with
the 10"-12" oak floorboards and oak staircase.
this particular addition is built with insulated panels and cedar siding.
Post and Beam homes built by Lowthert Woodwork, are structures built as they were when your great grand parents were children. Such homes will last for decades to come.
The joints are made with hand made dowels, and mortise and tenon.
