Tahoe Timber Homes

  Tahoe TimberHomes and Timberpeg® Post & Beam Homes are doing their part to keep waste and emissions to a minimum when building your dream home.  By choosing materials and products that are sustainable or recycled you can create a home that will actually help the environment.

  All Timberpeg® homes are energy efficient, with a continuous insulation system and high-quality millwork.  With structural insulated panels, you can expect a substantial reduction in energy needs compared to those of a conventionally built home.

Savings don't end just at the structural components of your home, you can also add features such as Energy Star Appliances, Solar Power & Reclaimed Water for added value and energy efficiency.

  While your Timberpeg® package is being produced, cut-offs from our manufacturing process are recycled locally, and made available at no cost to people who use them for fuel and a variety of crafts and other projects.  The sawdust from the process is provided free to local farmers.  Metal strapping and other materials are gathered and recycled.  Our tools are cleaned with citrus-based cleaners that won't harm the environment, and most of our shops trucks and forklifts are powered with bio-diesel fuel.
