Long Creek Timber Framers Inc.

Long Creek Timber Framers was founded in central Illinois in 1991 by Glen Vermette, who earned a Civil Engineering Degree in 1980 from the University of Missouri, Rolla. Glen's family home is timber framed and was built by Long Creek Timber Framers. Their workshop is next door to this home. Glen and his crew of timberwrights have framed homes throughout Illinois, Indiana, and Missouri, including the Chicago, Indianapolis, and St. Louis metro areas. Long Creek Timber Framers' careful workmanship of the mortised joints, the sturdy mass of the timber structure, and the wood peg fastening of the framing, speak of solidity, stability, and permanence. A timber frame provides a powerful sense of enduring shelter for generations. The Long Creek Timber Frame is not hidden, it is an ongoing presence. It not only frames, structurally, but frames space, like a three-dimensional picture frame. Your timber frame can frame the view from a window, frame the content of a room, or frame a transition such as an entrance or a passage from space to space. The massive timbers surround you with the solace of strong shelter, the intimate warmth of real wood, and the obvious quality of the hand-hewn craftsmanship.
