About Us

In 1987, frame-wright and custom home builders Jeff Davis and Rick Bascom realized they shared a common dream – to build the finest custom-designed timber frame homes. Together they formed the Davis Frame Company, whose original shop was located in a barn in Brownsville, Vermont. Over the years, the demand for Davis Frame homes grew and in 1997, a 22,000 square foot manufacturing facility was designed and built in Claremont, New Hampshire.

In 2007 an additional manufacturing facility was built to meet the demand for panelized wall systems. This product has continued to grow especially with the builder community.

After over three decades successfully doing what they loved, Jeff and Rick decided it was time to retire, but they wanted to ensure Davis Frame’s legacy was left in good hands. Around the same time, WHS Homes, Inc., parent company to other iconic log and timber frame brands including Timberpeg, Real Log Homes and American Post & Beam, was seeking to expand their design and manufacturing capacity, and was located just three miles away.  It was also fitting that Jeff Davis began his timber frame career working at Timberpeg for over a decade beginning in the early 1970s and Rick was a Timberpeg Independent Representative and contractor for several years during the 1980s.

WHS Homes owner, Bill Silverstein, believed it was the perfect opportunity for Davis Frame Co. and the WHS Homes family of brands to continue to grow. While the brands had been healthy competitors for many years, they had a history of collaboration that further ensured Davis Frame’s smooth transition to its new ownership. The acquisition expanded the company’s footprint and capabilities allowing for more product offerings and options across all brands.

Today, Davis Frame continues to design and manufacture high-quality timber frame, hybrid, and panelized homes throughout New England and beyond. Take a look at our photo galleries, floor plans and more, or contact us today about building your dream home!
