State College and Centre County offer one of Pennsylvania’s most distinctive settings for a custom timber frame home — mountain ridges, agricultural valleys, mature hardwood forests, and a community that values both quality and connection to the natural landscape. Whether on a wooded lot in Ferguson Township, a rural parcel in the Penns Valley, or a ridge property with Nittany Mountain views, a Premier Timber Frame Builders home brings Eastern Hemlock, traditional mortise and tenon joinery, and genuine craftsmanship to Centre County’s exceptional landscape.
State College-area custom timber frame home clients include Penn State faculty and researchers building on Centre County rural land, Penns Valley farm families seeking generational homes, and buyers from larger markets who have discovered Centre County’s remarkable combination of natural beauty and affordability.
What We Build
Nittany Valley Mountain View Homes
Properties with views of Nittany Mountain, Mount Nittany, or the Seven Mountains wilderness are extraordinary settings for timber frame homes. We design homes that capture Centre County’s mountain panoramas with generous south and west-facing glazing and elevated decks.
Penns Valley and Nittany Valley Agricultural Homes
Centre County’s two great agricultural valleys offer ideal settings for timber frame farmsteads — generous parcels, agricultural character, and the kind of rural landscape that makes a well-designed timber frame home absolutely right.
Penn State Community Appeal
State College’s academic community appreciates quality, craft, and intelligent design. Our timber frame homes deliver all three — Eastern Hemlock construction with traditional joinery, thoughtful floor plans, and energy performance that educated buyers recognize and value.
Mountain Climate Home Engineering
Centre County’s elevation and mountain climate demand properly engineered homes. We size structural members for mountain snow loads, design roof systems for efficient drainage, and specify enclosure systems that perform in central Pennsylvania’s demanding four-season climate.
Service Area
We serve State College, Bellefonte, Philipsburg, Centre Hall, Spring Mills, Millheim, and all of Centre County, plus Clinton County (Lock Haven), Union County (Mifflinburg, Lewisburg), Mifflin County, and Huntingdon County.
