Legacy Timber Frames

What Legacy Timber Frames does

Legacy Timber Frames, Inc. is a privately held custom timber framing company founded in 1988 by Annemarie Mitchell and Dan Roseberger. The company designs, manufactures, and raises hand-crafted timber frame structures for residential, agricultural, and light commercial construction, using traditional centuries-old joinery techniques including mortise and tenon and dovetail connections with octagonal white oak pegs. Frames are crafted in the company's shop near Saratoga Springs, New York, using native Eastern white pine and Eastern hemlock, with timbers visually graded and hand-selected for prominent exposure. Core capabilities include in-house design services stamped by a certified structural engineer, Structural Insulated Panel (SIP) installation with R-26 wall and R-37 roof values, and complete frame raising by the company's own experienced crew.

The company operates a project-based, direct-sales business model serving three primary customer segments: homeowners seeking custom timber frame homes, builders requiring timber frame expertise for residential or light commercial projects, and architects collaborating on timber frame designs. Frame prices are determined by wood species, board footage, and complexity, with no publicly disclosed pricing. The primary market is the Northeast US (New York, Vermont, Pennsylvania, Maine), though the company can provide erected frames anywhere in the US. The business is founder-owned with a small team of 5 named members including co-founders, joiners, and field crew, and has no external investment or parent company structure.

Legacy Timber Frames differentiates through hand-craftsmanship, traditional joinery, integrated design-to-raising service delivery, and long-standing relationships with Northeast architects and builders since 1988. The company is a member of the Capital Region Builders and Remodelers Association and NAHB, and maintains a marketing presence through its website, project galleries, and social media channels (Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Threads). No AI/ML, digital platform, or technology investment signals are present in the company's operations.
