William Charles Howell, my father, started this company in 1981. He was the first full time timber framer in the state of Kentucky. A man of great integrity. My father began as a conventional framer, and after reading some timber frame literature, decided that he wanted to give timber framing a try. After some visits and correspondence with some esteemed timber framers, He started Howell Timber Frame. His eye for elegance and design has lead to many noteworthy projects.

I started my training with my dad from a young age and journeyed out to Oregon to further my timber framing expertise under a large timber framing crew on the West Coast. After about ten years of timber framing, I felt the pull to go into the family business as well. So here we are. Howell Timber Frame LLC is now located in Jeromesville, Ohio, and we love what we do. The thing that most sets Howell Timber Frame apart from many other crews is our attention to detail and the thought and care that we put into all of our hand cuts. We want each home that we build to be better than the last, and can guarantee that our dedication to our craft will not waiver. Your frame will be unique to you and your family. That’s hard to beat.
