Sweet Timber Frames

John Sweet founded Sweet Timber Frames in 1981 and operates out of their workshop on Mount Desert Island, Maine. Sweet Timber Frames encompasses a core group of 6 highly skilled craftsmen dedicated to constructing beautiful, environmentally sustainable timber frames using traditional timber frame building techniques. For larger projects, we scale our resources as needed. Since 1981, we have built approximately 60 timber frame homes, cottages and barns. Prior to 1981, John Sweet built approximately 20 other timber frame homes while working for other contractors, plus 20 years of ironworking experience building bridges, skyscrapers and paper mills.
