Post and Beam Construction in Albuquerque
Post and beam construction is one of the oldest and most trusted building methods — known for its strength, beauty, and timeless appeal. At El Pueblo Woodworking, we bring this traditional technique into modern home design, creating structures that are as durable as they are stunning.
What Is Post and Beam Construction?
This building method uses heavy timbers joined together to create a strong, open framework. The large posts and beams become a visible part of the design, giving each project a distinctive architectural character.
Post and beam can be used for:
- Outdoor living spaces like porches, pergolas, and pavilions
- Shade structures and patio covers
- Entryways and decorative exterior features
- Interior accents, including ceiling beams and framing details
Let’s bring your outdoor vision to life.
Benefits of Post and Beam Construction
- Exceptional Strength – Heavy timbers create a stable, long-lasting frame.
- Architectural Beauty – Exposed wood grain adds warmth and character.
- Versatility – Works with rustic, traditional, or modern designs.
- Durability – Built to withstand New Mexico’s sun, wind, and weather.
Bring timeless craftsmanship to your home.
Post and Beam Replacement
Post and beam replacement restores the strength and beauty of your structure by swapping out damaged or weathered timbers with expertly matched materials. This process preserves the architectural charm of the exposed beams while ensuring long-lasting structural integrity.
