Services
Custom Home Design
Our custom home design service creates tailored living spaces that harmonize with mountain landscapes. With 35+ years of local experience, we specialize in integrating natural elements like timber and stone while optimizing energy efficiency. Our team works closely with clients to develop floor plans that maximize views and functionality, offering both traditional blueprints and modern 3D modeling techniques to visualize final results before construction begins.
Timber Frame Homes
We craft traditional timber frame homes using mortise-and-tenon joinery secured with wooden pegs. Our expertise includes both historic construction methods and modern hybrid designs that combine timber framing with Structural Insulated Panels. Each home features exposed heavy timbers and customizable truss designs, with engineering support to ensure structural integrity while maintaining aesthetic appeal and energy efficiency.
Energy-Efficient Building
As NAHB Certified Green Professionals, we implement advanced energy-saving systems including Structural Insulated Panels, solar-ready construction, and sealed crawl spaces. Our approach combines R-38+ insulation values with air-tight building envelopes to reduce energy consumption by up to 50% compared to conventional homes. We guide clients through sustainable material choices and energy-efficient technologies to create comfortable, environmentally responsible living spaces.
Remodeling & Restoration
Our remodeling services specialize in transforming existing mountain homes while preserving their character. We address structural challenges unique to high-altitude properties, including wind resistance and thermal performance. Projects range from kitchen/bathroom upgrades to complete historic restorations, incorporating modern amenities while maintaining architectural integrity through reclaimed wood and traditional craftsmanship techniques.
Hybrid Homes
Our hybrid home designs integrate multiple construction methods to optimize cost and performance. Typical projects combine timber framing in main living areas with Structural Insulated Panels for secondary spaces, reducing overall expenses while maintaining aesthetic appeal. This approach allows flexible material combinations - from log accents to contemporary steel elements - while achieving superior energy efficiency through strategically applied advanced building technologies.
