saving historic,
​hand-built structures

Out here in rural Southern Ohio, Raymond Friend has been repairing, rebuilding and salvaging barns and other historic buildings since 2006.  Raymond learned timber framing at The Heartwood School and has extended his skills and knowledge through involvement in the Timber Framers Guild and Friends of Ohio Barns.  

In 2017, Raymond's vision for a company that would partner with building owners, preservationists, and craftspeople to save historic structures came to life with the formation of The Barn & Cabin Friend.  Joseph Wilson, who has worked for Raymond since he was a teen, became co-owner in 2022.

​The Barn & Cabin Friend prides itself on being a company where everyone loves to come to work.  Below are Dillon, Jerimiah, Raymond, Joseph, and Dacoda celebrating the completion of a home.

There's a lot this creative company has to offer those who appreciate quality craftsmanship and materials.  We hope you'll explore our website and connect with us if we can work together.
