Houses & Barns by John Libby

Since 1971, the HBJL team has been guided by the highest standards of quality and craftmanship, constructing buildings as distinctive as the vision of our clients. Growing up in Presque Isle, John Libby worked alongside his father in the family construction business. It was there that he learned the trade, the value of client relationships, and that quality wasn’t an option. John’s passion for timber-frame construction sprang from doing restoration work on old barns. In tearing them down he gained an appreciation—bordering on awe—for how they had been built. Fifty years on, HBJL is Maine’s premier timber-frame builder.

Our team of gifted designers and crew work together to make your building experience as enjoyable as possible. Driven by the indelible Maine work ethic, you can count us to be engaged and responsive until the final punch list item is complete. Honestly, some clients hate to see us leave.
