Larry and his wife Gean, are natives of Gadsden, AL and graduates of Auburn University. After a thirty year career in the electronics industry which included international and domestic assignments, Gean and Larry settled in Johnson City, TN. Both are licensed Real Estate Brokers and the owners of Watford Construction Company. The company specializes in managing and building primary and secondary mountain homes in the Blue Ridge Mountains and lakeside timber frame homes in the Southeast and Tennessee area.
With a BS in Electrical Engineering, Larry is particularly enthusiastic about the high efficiency aspects of a Davis Frame timber frame structure. Coupled with SIPs panels and soy based, foam filled wall panels, Davis Timber Frame and Classic Barn Homes offer long term energy savings, comfort, and beauty.
The classic elegance of an exposed Timber Frame skeleton enables outstanding structural strength and best use of natural resources. Davis Frame uses only standing dead or farm grown, renewable timber products for its factory designed and machined Timber Frame Components.
Our line of Classic Barn Homes is our pre-designed floor plans and because they are pre-designed, using the floor plans can save you time and money! Our pre-designed timber frame floor plans can save you up to 30% when compared to a custom designed timber frame package.
