Went to the art show. Amazing. And the building and grounds are beautiful.
Debora S
Bruce was very knowledgeable and patient with us as we needed to fully understand the time and money involved in building a post and beam home. While we are still in the exploration stage, we will utilize Country Carpenter's Early American Homes because of the quality and attention to detail that they offer.

Frequently Asked Questions
What support is available during construction?
In New England and most of the greater New England area, the company’s crew and crane can work with the buyer’s carpenters for one day to set the timbered ceiling system. Technical support is available five days a week.
What is included in a home-building package?
Packages include engineered building plans, step-by-step construction booklets, pre-cut wall studs and rafters, and the timbered ceiling system.
How long does it take to build one of the home kits?
Some homes are built in six months, while others take over a year. Timing varies with factors such as home size, added amenities and site conditions.
Can customers buy only the plans?
No. Engineered plans are included with a home-building package, and customers can buy just the framing package and add finish materials later.
