 The McKernon Group is an
Independent Representative for Timberpeg, a leader in the timber
frame industry. Timberpeg has built
quality frames for over 30 years, and has completed more than 3000
projects. The McKernon Group sells timber frame packages for customers
building in Rutland, Addison, and Chittenden Counties in Vermont,
and Warren (Glens Falls area only), Washington, and Saratoga Counties
in New York.
 As
both an Independent Representative and a general contractor with
architectural design services, The McKernon Group can offer
any level of customer support, from simply selling a package to
complete turnkey construction. Please see the Timber
Frame page
on this website for more details.
Timberpeg supplies a complete package, which typically includes
the timber frame, the exterior insulated shell, the 2nd floor
structure, interior wood tongue and groove paneling, exterior trim,
and either Anderson or Loewen windows.
 Timberpeg’s experience means they have done it all, and their
attention to detail means the frame and shell package will go together
smoothly. Frames can be specified as either Eastern White Pine,
or Douglas Fir. Structural Insulated Panels can be used to insulate
the walls and roof, or an innovative "wrap and strap" system
is available. The building design, the time of year during which
the building will be built, and the site can all influence the
choice of insulation. Interior finishes can be drywall or tongue
and groove wood paneling.
 Timber frame homes from Timberpeg combine old style craftsmanship
using stout structural timbers and true mortice and tenon
joinery with modern production methods. A computerized
Hundegger milling machine efficiently and accurately cuts the joinery,
which is then finished using hand tools. The result is the best
of both the current and ancient worlds: structurally engineered
wood joints that have been efficiently cut by an intelligent machine,
which hold together a traditional timber frame.
Timberpeg can build a custom frame for you, or you can modify
an existing design from their extensive library. McKernon has designers
on staff who are ready to help you define what you want and need.
