Living with Strength & Character

Post and beam construction, also known as timber framing, is a centuries-old building technique. Solid timbers are connected by mortise and tenon joints and secured together with oak pegs.  Often compared to fine furniture, the beams of these homes are fully exposed to the inside.  The strength and character of a Mill Creek Post & Beam Company home is readily apparent. A welcoming, awe-inspiring sight to all who enter.

"We look to the past for inspiration, especially the rambling country homes and cottages of Europe, while at the same time using the advanced technology of today to produce a superior product. This allows Mill Creek to produce timber frames with exacting tolerances, unsurpassed strength and, most important, unparalleled beauty."

               Mark Wray - Founder and principal
