About Maine Mountain Post & Beam

Maine Mountain Post & Beam is a Timber Frame Company located in Brownfield, Maine.  Owned and operated by J. Scott Campbell,  Maine Mountain Post & Beam is dedicated to preserving and creating buildings that will last generations.  We specialize in the dismantle, restoration, and re-assembly of antique timber frame buildings for both homes and barns.  We also design and cut new timber frames, basing most of our designs on historic frames typical to New England.

Scott personally oversees and participates in the dismantle and raising of frames.  All the repair work to antique frames and the design, layout and cutting of new frames is executed by Scott.  So, whether you are looking for an antique timber frame or a new one,  all the work is performed by a skilled and experienced timber framer.

Antique Timber Frames

Once a building is located,  the exterior (roofing, siding, sheathing, windows and doors) is removed.  With the frame exposed,  the building is then meticulously documented with photos and detailed drawings.   Every piece of the frame is then tagged.  The frame is then dismantled in reverse order of its assembly. Pegs (trunnels) are driven out and the beams are pulled apart being extremely careful to preserve the original joinery.  Once the frame is dismantled,  it is taken to the  shop where it is cleaned and repaired.   All repairs are done with traditional joinery and like material (antique wood with similar patina).  The frame is then shipped to its new location and reassembled.   Barn conversions make for beautiful and very unique homes.

Freshly Cut Traditional Timber Frames

We design and cut new timber frames using traditional techniques and methods.  Time tested mortice and tenon joinery not only makes for a beautiful building, but an amazingly strong structure as well.  Most of our new frames are designed around historic frame styles typical to New England.   We can also cut a new frame from antique beams.
