Technically HTF offers our services nationwide. Most of our projects are built within a 250-mile radius of our shop. A number of our clients who want a timber frame home may live 500+ miles away, but are moving to our region, which is still easy to coordinate. The design process is handled via phone calls, emails, shared photos, and usually at least one shop visit. Our timber frame homes are commonly raised by the same crew of joiners who built it.
Pavilions are in a different category as they have been shipped far and wide. These designs can be fairly simple to undertake, provided the exchange of information is adequate. If you have access to a good crew, then we can send a “Raising Advisor” to help make the raising smoother and the project costs a bit less for small pavilions. On large pavilions, we recommend using our raising crew.
Yes. From $50K residential great rooms to $2M+ commercial projects. If it involves structural timber, we can handle it.
