Our Company

We remain dedicated to our founding principle, "excellence without compromise," and stand behind the quality of our products with a 20-year product warranty.

Our Tradition of Excellence since 1972 sets our homes apart… the quality of your home will be unmatched in the marketplace.

Imagine yourself living in a post and beam home.  Relax in light-filled rooms surrounded by the warmth and beauty of natural wood.

Contemporary, traditional, classic or rustic - whatever style home you choose, the timeless beauty and ambiance of a Habitat Post & Beam home will make it a pleasure in which to live.  You can customize your home plan as much as you desire.  Our professional, custom-design service is provided as part of our commitment to you.

Flexible floor plans may create open, spacious rooms and cathedral ceilings for great rooms, bedroom suites and eat-in kitchens.  Rooms flow into each other, making family activities and entertaining a joy.

With post and beam homes, the timber frame carries the structural load.  Our proprietary wall system allows tremendous design flexibility with open, spacious rooms, vaulted ceilings and walls of glass.  Electrical and plumbing services are easy to install. Changes during construction or later add-ons are economical with post and beam construction.

Habitat's energy-efficient concepts and designs keep heating and cooling costs to a minimum.  Habitat's superior wall and roof systems, thermally-efficient doors and windows, passive solar design and attention to on-site orientation provide significant energy savings.


Our interior and exterior building materials produce an environmentally sound product for healthy, comfortable living.  Our use of polystyrene insulation (in combination with fiberglass batting) was carefully selected because of its low outgassing properties.

The cost of a Habitat Post & Beam homes is similar to a conventionally framed home when using materials of the same quality.  We use the highest quality materials and can maintain a reasonable cost due to our wholesale-direct purchasing power.  We buy our timbers and other materials in railcar quantities saving you money.  Our pre-built component building package assembles quickly and easily by your contractor, saving you and your contractor additional time and money.

Engineered and pre-built at our mill, the component building package assures consistent, high quality craftsmanship and materials.  We use the highest grade Douglas fir timbers and select suppliers for components (such as windows and doors) based on their quality.  For over a quarter-century we have selected building materials known for their low maintenance and longevity, including fine cedar siding and decking, kiln-dried framing materials and premium windows, doors, and roofing.
