Timber Frame Homes by Atlantic Timberframes - Your timber frame house or timber frame building custom designed to fit your needs


	I'm Ron Gabany and this is my son, Eric. Our company, Atlantic Timberframes, is a true family business. Since 1981 I've been working along with my family, friends, and fellow timber framers to erect unforgettable timber frames around the country. We love what we do: building the best homes we possibly can for people we have come to know and like. If you contact us now, I'll show you why the size of the company really doesn't matter, but the quality of the craftsmanship does.

The story of Atlantic Timberframes is the story of Ron Gabany. Born in Johnstown, PA, Ron got the building bug, with construction of a doghouse at the age of ten and with his grandfather's introduction of the framing square. In 1974, after Navy service, he, like others who felt a need to return to their roots, moved back to the country. With a team of horses, foot adze, and broad ax, he hand-hewed timbers for his home, with timber framing information from a number of sources, especially Atlantic Boatworks. In 1980, Ron built his first timber frame home. Before enclosing the frame, however, he held a wedding ceremony marrying Jennifer Mae; a year later, Ron's son, Eric, arrived.

From l981 to 1990, Ron and a crew of ten built log cabins, commercial buildings, and homes. Throughout this period, he continued to explore the timber frame craft and the renown men of the trade. In 1990, while building a timber frame home for Ron's brother Ray, Ron met the man who was to become his mentor, Bob Donahue, of Atlantic, PA. Due to failing health, Bob had closed his building company, Atlantic Boatworks. From those ashes, Atlantic Timberframes, Inc. was born out of the tools, knowledge, and skill passed on by Bob to Ron.
