Maine Heritage Timber Frames is a team of builders that design and build timber frame buildings. We are a small business based in Lisbon Falls that is dedicated to preserving the timelessness of the craft.

Our design philosophy is rooted in a place of connectedness. We aim to create spaces that are beautiful, functional, and in harmony with the surrounding architecture and natural world.

Our frames are laid out and cut by hand in our shop in Lisbon Falls. The art of timber framing involves shaping each joint to create a strong interlocking structure. Traditional joinery techniques are used to connect the timbers without the need for nails or screws, resulting in a timeless wooden construction.

Sustainability Statement

MHTF is committed to supporting local sawmills and foresters that provide the highest grade sustainable timber available.


Ariel and Mark listened to our needs and designed a great plan for our little space. It was a true delight to have their energy infused into the space. Not only are they incredibly talented, they are just great people. They were on time, on budget and still to this day, pick up the phone if we have any questions about how to finish the space. We will certainly use them again in the future and highly recommend their craftsmanship.

Standing within a structure built by MHTF, you can’t help but feel like you are in the midst of a sculpture, as the complex joinery marries together an array of timbers, producing craftsmanship that engages and inspires.
