Timber Frame in Lynnwood
The work that makes the whole brand make sense.
With the Lynnwood City Center and Link light rail, Lynnwood is densifying fast — prime territory for ADUs, infill, and multifamily. We build the backyard units and townhomes that turn a Lynnwood lot into real value.
Timber frame is where Svensen is unmatched. We do not specify a timber package and wait on a vendor — we run the log through our own mill and engineer the frame through our own product line.
That control shows up in the structure: oversized members cut true to grade, joinery detailed for the design, and a frame that reads as the centerpiece of the building rather than something hidden in the walls.
What we build
- Full timber-frame and post-and-beam structures
- Hybrid timber and conventional framing
- Exposed structural timber for homes, restaurants, and commercial space
- EV TimberShield engineered glass-and-timber canopies
- Custom-milled oversized Douglas Fir members
- FSC Chain-of-Custody timber on request
Raw Douglas Fir log → milled oversized timber at Washington Timber Company → engineered structure through EV TimberShield → raised and finished by Svensen. No middlemen, no markups stacked on markups, no waiting on a supplier to tell us what is in stock. This is the supply chain, and we own all of it.
How the supply chain worksThe supply-chain moat
We own the sawmill (Washington Timber Company), the engineered product line (EV TimberShield), and the build crew (Svensen). One company controls cost and quality from the forest to your finished frame. No competitor in the region can say that.
From log to raised frame
Engineer the frame
Members are sized and detailed for your design and load case — not pulled from a catalog.
Mill to spec
Oversized Douglas Fir is milled at our own sawmill to the exact dimensions the drawings call for.
Fabricate joinery
Connections and joinery are cut and dry-fit before anything reaches the site.
Raise & integrate
The frame is raised by our crew and integrated into the full build.

Timber Frame in Lynnwood: FAQ
Where does your timber come from?
From our own sawmill, Washington Timber Company in Arlington. We mill local Douglas Fir to spec for Lynnwood projects — we don’t order imported timber-frame kits or wait on a supplier’s catalog.
Do you build timber frame homes in Lynnwood?
Yes. We design, mill, engineer, and raise full timber-frame and post-and-beam structures throughout Lynnwood and the surrounding Puget Sound — homes, restaurants, and commercial spaces.
How is a Svensen timber frame different from a kit?
A kit ships you pre-cut parts to assemble. We mill the members to your design, engineer the joinery, and raise the frame ourselves — so the timber is sized for your Lynnwood build, not the other way around.
