a type of system which is based on proven building concepts which have been in existence for over 4,000 years. Post & Beam is a rigid, self supporting structure. The timbers come together using rugged mortise and tenon joinery secured with a wooden peg. Most wood framed structures over 100 years old still standing today boast some form of Post & Beam construction.
Characterized by large open spaces and cathedral ceilings combined with the beauty of the wood, post & beam construction has once again become the choice for many home owners today.
I lived in an Acadia Post & Beam house in Sorrento, Maine for 4 years. It was the best time of my life. Their houses engender a feeling of peace and calm not found elsewhere. Arriving home each day was always a delight. My dream house will be post and beam and I would definitely use Acadia Post & Beam again as well as recommend them to anyone interested in this type of construction.

Very fine craftsmanship not commonly found. Attention to the details are self evident and love for the art of post and beam is obvious. Exceptional architechtural details on many of the homes shown both inside and out.
