At Burk Construction, we specialize in custom timber frame homes and architectural beam integration that combine warmth, structural integrity, and lasting character. Whether you’re building from the ground up or enhancing an existing structure, our timber frame systems create dramatic, open-concept living spaces with vaulted ceilings and exposed beams that elevate both residential and commercial projects.
Why Choose Timber Frame Construction?
One of the greatest advantages of timber framing is its versatility. Our clients across Kentucky, Tennessee, and Indiana—including Franklin, Lexington, Paducah, Nashville, and Goodlettsville—have trusted us to bring a wide variety of design visions to life.
We offer:
- Custom design for timber frame homes and outbuildings
- Integration of beams into conventional framing
- New or reclaimed wood options (eastern white pine, Douglas fir, oak, and more)
- Finish options like hand-hewn, planed, white-washed, and smooth sanded
- Structural or decorative applications: straight beams, trusses, box beams, headers, mantles, brackets, porch beams, and more
Whether your style leans rustic, mountain modern, or traditional, timber framing allows for personalized interior and exterior finishes—including low-maintenance materials like fiber cement siding, stone veneer, cedar shakes, and board and batten.

Designing with Reclaimed Timbers
Some of our most rewarding builds involve vintage reclaimed timbers—each piece full of natural imperfections, textures, and history. These unique materials offer more than charm—they challenge us to create custom, story-driven architecture that cannot be replicated. We embrace their character to craft homes rich with depth, personality, and purpose.
As we like to say:
“If you can’t fix it, feature it.”
