Deep Creek Timber Frame

Deep Creek Timber Frame designs and builds custom timber frame homes and cabins around Deep Creek Lake from its office at 25227 Garrett Hwy in McHenry. It is the local representative for Woodhouse, The Timber Frame Company, and works with people planning a new home in McHenry, Oakland, Swanton and the wider Garrett County area.

What a Timber Frame Home Involves

Timber frame houses are built around a structure of large joined timbers, so the beams stay exposed inside and the frame carries the load instead of interior walls. That is why these homes tend to have open floor plans and tall great rooms. Deep Creek Timber Frame's homes typically pair the frame with structural insulated panels (SIPs) for the walls, which the company says produces a tight, energy-efficient envelope. Through Woodhouse you can browse existing plans and kits, use a budget calculator and request pricing, then have the local team adapt a design to your lot.

Local Help From Lot to Permit

The value of working with a local representative shows up long before the frame arrives. The team helps with site planning and design, finding a builder, and getting through planning, zoning and permits, and it knows many of the area's builders and developers personally. Steve Richards has more than 30 years in development and custom home building, has built over 100 custom homes in West Virginia and the Deep Creek Lake area, and has lived near the lake for over 20 years. Ryan Vance joined as a partner in 2021 and brings about 15 years of experience managing building projects. Projects featured by Woodhouse include a modified MountainView kit behind Wisp Resort and a large farmhouse-style home on a tight lakeside lot at the southern end of the lake.

If you are thinking about building a timber frame home or cabin, it helps to start planning early, so reach out to talk through your lot and ideas.
