With this choice, you'll benefit from personalized guidance and expertise in designing a living area that perfectly suits your needs and preferences, while maximizing the character and beauty of the reclaimed frame.

Both options offer a pathway to realizing your vision, whether you're seeking complete customization assistance or the foundation to begin your journey.

With proper care and maintenance, a reclaimed timber frame can last for many generations, echoing the longevity of the original structures.

Three Ten Timber prides itself on sourcing materials of the highest quality to ensure every project reflects our commitment to top tier craftsmanship. We partner directly with farmers across the Midwest and the Eastern US to acquire only the finest barns. This extensive search allows us to find structures that not only meet our strict standards for quality but also embody the rich history and character we value.

For reclaimed materials, navigating the industry's complexities is a challenge we've overcome through strong, established connections and an in-depth understanding of the market. We source reclaimed siding, flooring, joists, and roof boards with two main approaches: directly from local Iowa barns, which our dedicated team carefully dismantles to preserve the integrity and history of the materials, and by collaborating with reputable reclaimed companies. These companies are selected for their unyielding dedication to craftsmanship and quality, ensuring that every piece of reclaimed material we use contributes to the beauty and durability of our projects. By combining direct sourcing with strategic partnerships, Three Ten Timber guarantees that each timber frame, siding plank, and floor joist is not just a piece of wood but part of a cohesive reclaimed story.

We're proud to serve our awesome clients across the United States. We're committed to bringing the beauty and history of reclaimed timber to homes and businesses nationwide.

The turnaround time for a reclaimed frame is about two months. After giving farmers a week's notice, it takes 1-2 weeks to bring the barn back to our Iowa shop, followed by 3-5 weeks of restoration. We keep clients updated throughout, prioritizing craftsmanship which requires time. We see this process, while fairly time consuming, as a fun part of the journey and have some unique ways we like to involove our clients!

Absolutely, we manage every detail of transporting and delivering your reclaimed structure with precision and care. Additionally, we offer the option to re-erect these structures for an extra charge. Given the high cost due to travel, we suggest exploring local contractors first, who might offer more competitive rates. Depending on the package selected, we're also happy to facilitate introductions to trustworthy contractors within your area, ensuring a seamless continuation of your project with professionals we trust.

Our packages do not come with plans stamped by an engineer, due to the diverse local codes, regulations, and the varying snow and wind loads across the country. We ask our clients to secure stamped plans from a local engineer. However, if finding the right professional proves challenging, we're committed to assisting you until you find a suitable engineer or until the necessary changes are made to meet local requirements.

The cost of a reclaimed frame is indeed high, as each frame is unique and priced accordingly. While the upfront cost might be steep, we are committed to providing tremendous value through the extensive features included in each package option. Our aim is for you to look back on the project, appreciating the quality and service provided, and feel that it was worth much more than what you paid. This is a sentiment we've heard consistently from our clients, reinforcing our commitment to excellence and value.
