VTHT specializes in all aspects of timber frame restoration and preservation with a focus on timber trusses, specifically covered bridges and truss roof buildings such as churches and meeting houses. We have worked on projects as diverse as the restoration of the roof system of Notre Dame, windmills in Estonia, and some of the largest wooden clear span structures in the world. However, we delight most in the preservation of vernacular timber frame structures.

We plan and work holistically, and are skilled in jacking and moving buildings, steeple repair, hand hewing, millwrighting, and new timber framing.
