Carolina Timberworks was my first choice. They are astonishingly good. The big timbers were delivered on Tuesday along with a trailer. Wednesday morning found the job site crawling with hardhats. Thursday at 7am, a crane arrived and by 7pm, the timber frame was complete. Friday was odd. The only trace they left was a pine tree hanging on the western peak of this astounding structure.

Obviously there are steps that you take before and after the timber frame, but I found the planning stages interesting and informative.

I expect that you will find the price a bit uncomfortable, the workmanship master level and the product as promised or better.

As we became familiar with the folks at CTW we gained a great deal of comfort in their integrity, honesty, creativity and knowledge. We were rebuilding an existing home, mandated a five month time line, and we were absent most of the time.

We were working with an out-of-state designer, who brought great skill to the process. However, it was the CTW people who were “hands on”. Whether it was in the Timber Shop or in the field, they knew how to get it done, when and on budget. Our tongue & groove ceiling is breathtaking; the entry hall stairway honed from old wood is a conversation piece; our outside timber gazebo is the place where everyone gravitates with high ceilings and a beautiful stone fireplace. We have comfort and beauty throughout our wonderful mountain home.

Perhaps what we appreciated most about CTW were the people. From the owners to the shop guys and everyone in between, they are all skilled, quality individuals. What more can you ask than a highly talented, creative and honest contractor? We have been proud to give them referrals over the past several years.

The reclaimed beams we used were a mix of wood species from various buildings. Carolina Timberworks did a masterful job in locating each timber in the perfect spot. Working with them was a delight from beginning to end.

They are smart, courteous, professional, honest and hard working. They were always on time and completed the work on schedule. One reason I chose them was because they do their work by hand and not with a huge, computerized sawing machine. The result is a first class product if you know wood the way I do ( I collect furniture made by craftsmen such as Wendell Castle, Sam Maloof and Garry Bennett among others). Carolina Timberworks has a modern technical department well trained in computer programs that produce realistic drawings for the customer to review and the craftsmen to follow. The proposal they presented me was the best prepared and easiest to understand of all the proposals I got in the entire process of building this energy efficient, passive solar home. In my opinion, I cannot imagine anyone being able to do a better job than Carolina Timberworks.
