Benedict Antique Lumber & Stone is a small company that builds custom Timber Frame homes. We can construct your new home from our inventory of antique hand hewn beams reclaimed from the 18th and 19th century that have endured the rugged climate of the Northern Tier of Pennsylvania. This incredibly strong lumber is used to remodel or build elegant new homes and offices which desire a historic feel. The recovered wood can also be used to repair existing structures from the period. Reclaimed beams serve as a solid foundation in new construction and recovered planks transform into stylish hardwood flooring. Pollutants and deforestation have lessened the strength of modern lumber, but reclaimed antique timber grew slower with tighter growth rings that have with stood generations of heavy farm machinery and catastrophic storms.
