WHS Homes, Inc. partners with architects and builders who value clarity, craft, and accountability.
As the parent company of Timberpeg, Real Log Homes, Davis Frame Company, and American Post & Beam, WHS Homes, Inc. offers access to a family of respected brands, each operating independently with its own systems, teams, and technical expertise. This structure allows project teams to engage directly with the brand best aligned to the architectural vision and construction strategy, while benefiting from shared standards of quality, manufacturing discipline, and client experience across the organization.
Projects are executed with precision that start offsite. Advanced BIM coordination, CNC fabrication, and controlled manufacturing environments ensure components arrive ready for efficient assembly, supporting predictable schedules, accurate fit, and long-term performance. While individual brands lead day-to-day project execution, WHS Homes, Inc. provides strategic oversight and long-term stewardship, offering stability and support without adding complexity. The result is a collaborative relationship built on trust, focused expertise, and structures designed to perform for generations.
The construction of a Timberpeg home can be one of the most enjoyable times during the entire process as customers finally get to see their homes come to life. Some of our Independent Representatives are builders and/or contractors and many of our clients choose to work directly with one of them. We also have clients who come to us with a builder they are already working with, or builders will reach out to us directly because they have customers who want to incorporate timber frame into their home design. Each scenario is common.
No matter who constructs the home, a Timberpeg representative is always available to answer any questions and, if needed, we can also send someone to the site to assist with the frame assembly. Still have some questions or just ready to get started? Reach out to us today to discuss your building project.

Our family of brands has grown over the years! It all started in 1963 with Vermont Log Buildings, which later became Real Log Homes, one of the most well-known log home brands in the industry. A decade later Timberpeg was launched to offer true mortise-and-tenon style timber frame construction to the North American market after nearly 100 years. In 2012, WHS founded American Post & Beam to offer a lighter style of post & beam framing, and in 2021 WHS acquired our local friendly competitor Davis Frame Company. Timberpeg’s modern timber framing system offers the flexibility and sophistication to seamlessly integrate into client’s architect designed plans and achieve the the highest level of custom home design. American Post & Beam offers a lighter style of hybrid post & beam construction yielding contemporary interiors with the character of exposed heavy timber. Davis Frame Company delivers traditional timber framed great rooms and homes which are often integrated with our proprietary BuildPak™ panelized wall and pre-cut conventional building component system. Real Log Homes, our flagship brand.
We bring together the strengths and distinctive building systems of our family of brands including Timberpeg, Real Log Homes, Davis Frame Company, American Post & Beam and Jamaica Cottage Shop to provide clients with a single source to explore a broad range of character-rich building styles. Our homes aren’t just customizable; they are fully custom expressions of the lives our customers live.
Across our family of brands, we offer many building systems which can be combined to achieve our client’s aesthetic, architectural, and budgetary goals, whether it is timber frame, post and beam, panelized, log, or a combination. Learn more about our building systems on our Building Systems Page.
Our company designs and fabricates complete structural building envelope packages. Each project is unique and can include a wide range of components and services, which means the package cost can vary quite a bit, but typically ranges between $100 and $175 per square foot and represents between a quarter and a third of the overall cost of construction.
Ultimately, the cost to build our homes tends to follow regional “turnkey” price trends for similarly appointed high quality custom homes. Generally starting at $400 per square foot, our client’s preferences and priorities, regional code requirements, and project complexities are driving factors of the overall building cost.
Our homes are built throughout North America and sometimes even overseas.
Timber frame is a classification of post and beam construction consisting of traditional wooden joinery, known as mortise-and-tenon, secured by wooden pegs. There are timber frame building methods, such as the Bent system where posts span, unbroken, from sill to eave or ridge and are erected in walls. (Bents run perpendicular to the ridge of the roof, while walls run parallel to the ridge). Post and beam home construction is a framework based solely on vertical and horizontal pieces: the posts and the beams. Post and beam homes are constructed in layers, with each floor built independently from the others. Typically, the posts and the beams are joined together by metal brackets.
