Barhouse is a specialized, niche-focused WordPress theme designed for businesses in the wooden construction industry, including log home builders, carpenters, woodworkers, and cottage manufacturers. Developed by Like-Themes, it is known for its rugged, "wood-centric" aesthetic and its robust set of industry-specific features.
As of early 2026, Barhouse remains a preferred choice for contractors who want a high-end, professional look that highlights the craftsmanship of natural materials.
Barhouse is built specifically for construction workflows, moving beyond a simple blog or corporate site:
Project Galleries: Includes specialized layouts to showcase step-by-step wooden house construction, from foundation to roof peak.
Service Listings: Pre-designed blocks for specific woodworks like flooring, frame construction, roofing, and custom furniture.
Cost Estimator / Quote Forms: Features integrated forms (often using Contact Form 7 or custom widgets) so potential clients can request quotes for specific house dimensions or timber types.
Team Showcase: Dedicated sections to introduce your architects, master carpenters, and site managers.
The theme combines a rustic feel with high-end technical performance:

Price: Typically $59 for a regular license.
Updates: The latest April 2025 update focused on PHP 8.2/8.3 compatibility and ensured the theme works seamlessly with WordPress 6.7+.
For a construction business, SEO often depends on local search. Barhouse includes a Google Maps integration with custom "wood" or "construction" map pins. Be sure to pin your headquarters and recent project sites to build local authority and trust with visitors.
