WHO IS AMERICAN POST & BEAMĀ® AND WHAT DO WE DO?
American Post & Beam® is a custom post and beam home design and production firm located in Claremont, NH. We focus on designing and creating barn-style homes, carriage houses, and farmhouses using traditional post and beam framing. Whether our clients choose to build a barn style home that embraces and highlights the post and beam frame, or a modern home with a few custom elements and stylized framing – the result is always an elegant and comfortable home.
Owner of the American Post & Beam® brand, Bill Silverstein, also owns the well-known Timberpeg® and Real Log Homes® brands (which combined have produced over 30,000 homes since 1963). Bill saw an opportunity to fill a gap in the marketplace and expand by using the same state-of-the-art manufacturing process to reach a broader market and provide an alternative building style to clients. The American Post & Beam® style of home provides a simple, refined frame for those looking for a lighter, more open home. He chose the name American Post & Beam® to pay tribute to the traditional pride and craftsmanship embodied by the word “American.” “Post & Beam” illustrates that we go far beyond “Barn Homes”; designing and building anything from classic barn homes to modern, contemporary post and beam residences.

Post & Beam: Design – Manufacturing – Building
Our design staff is the driving force behind our beautiful homes. They work closely with clients to craft a home that truly fits a homeowner’s land, lifestyle, needs and style. American Post & Beam® will custom design your home as you like it – barn homes and beyond. (We are also able to work in conjunction with an architect of your choosing if you so decide.) Once your home is designed to your every specification, the manufacturing process will begin.
As we have mentioned before, we are proud of our post and beam manufacturing process. The craftsmen that work on the frame packages and wall panels for our homes are all skilled, talented and, most importantly, experienced. When the post and beam home package has been precisely cut, and the wall and roof panels have been pre-fabricted under factory controlled conditions, the package, frame, windows, walls, roof, siding, trim, exterior doors, 2nd floor framing and sub floor, is bundled and sent to your site ready for assembly.
The package won’t be the only thing arriving on your job site though. We will send an experienced supervisor along to oversee the erection of the shell package. This service ensures that even if a client has chosen to select their own builder, there will still be someone on site to ensure the package goes together properly and quickly. Of course our clients are encouraged to use one of our preferred builders, but this is not necessary. Either way, there will be an expert on-site to ensure the best construction.
The rapid construction provided by the precise and complete nature of our home package also means your American Post & Beam® home will be erected faster with less labor hours.
