The building of our wonderful timber frame
home has been completed. What a beautiful home it is indeed.
While going over design options in our first
meeting, we were impressed with your honest estimate of the finished
cost of these designs. You appreciated the fact that we had a budget
and wanted to stay realistically within its confines. The
architectural designs that you drew were far more flexible and
individualized then we anticipated. We appreciated your size
recommendations - it is perfect for us. Our experience with
other timber frame companies was that larger is always better.
Through your guidance we learned that quality and detail should be
the primary goal.
The general contractor stressed their
positive experience working with your company. They praised
the high standards and craftsmanship each crew member showed during
the raising. They told us on many occasions how they enjoyed
building our home, and how their finish carpenters felt inspired
like artists in this environment, expressing their craft and
complementing yours.
It has been amazing to watch the response of
others to the timber frame. Our neighbors have told us how they
would sit and watch the raising, taking photos of the crew. It is a
small community but apparently you folks were the talk of the town.
The house was even mentioned in a local publication as “the
beautiful timber frame home”. Deliverymen have come into the
house and their eyes automatically rise heavenward. We are getting
used to folks dropping in to visit, knowing their intent is really
to see the timber frame house!
We highly recommend Northern Lights Timber
Framing to anyone interested in building a timber frame home, for
the quality and flexibility of their designs, the skill and work
ethic of their crew, and the reasonable costs.
