What we build

Custom homes, renovations, and heavy timber framing — plus the foundations, framing and finish carpentry that hold it all together.

01 · Custom Home Builds

Your lot, your plans, our crew.

We build one-off houses — not models off a sheet. Bring finished drawings and we'll price and build them. Bring a sketch and a budget and we'll help you work out what's actually buildable on your lot before you spend money on design.

Because we do our own foundations, framing and finish carpentry, the handoffs that usually cost you weeks simply don't exist.

  • Site prep, excavation, footings and foundation walls
  • Floor systems, wall and roof framing, sheathing, dry-in
  • Trade coordination — mechanical, electrical, plumbing, insulation
  • Interior and exterior finish carpentry, stairs, built-ins
  • Garages, shops and outbuildings to match the house

02 · Renovations

Older houses, opened up carefully.

Additions, kitchens and baths, gut renovations, and the structural work that makes an open plan possible in a house that wasn't designed for one. Around here that often means century farmhouses and lake places — buildings with surprises in the walls.

We investigate before we quote where we can, and when something unexpected does turn up, you hear about it the same day with options and a number attached — not at the end in a lump.

  • Additions and second-storey builds
  • Kitchens, bathrooms and full interior remodels
  • Load-bearing removals, beams, posts and structural repair
  • Foundation and sill repair on older buildings
  • Decks, porches, and exterior envelope work

03 · Timber Framing

Joinery you're meant to see.

Heavy timber is the part of the job we'd do for free. Frames get laid out and cut in the shop, dry-fit on the bench, then trucked out and raised — so what lands on your site goes together instead of getting fought into place.

Full frames and hybrids, or a single truss as the thing everyone looks at when they walk in. Either way, mortise-and-tenon joinery, pegged and exposed.

  • Full timber frame homes and hybrid timber/stick builds
  • Great room trusses, exposed rafters and ridge work
  • Entry porches, timber gable accents and brackets
  • Pavilions, pergolas and covered outdoor structures
  • Barn and outbuilding frames, new or restored

Working with us

From first call to punch list.

Call and site visit

Tell us what you're thinking. If it's a fit, we come look at the lot or the house — there's no substitute for standing on it.

Scope and estimate

We write down what's included, what isn't, and what it costs. Allowances are called allowances, not hidden in a total.

Schedule and build

Permits and trades lined up, then foundations, framing, timber and finish in order. You'll know each week what's happening next.

Walkthrough

We walk it with you, list what's left, and finish the list. Then we hand over keys and stay reachable afterward.

Next step

Tell us about the project.

A rough size, a location, and a timeline is enough to start a useful conversation.
