Our Journey

From Workshop to Industry Standard

For nearly two decades, we've evolved from a family woodworking shop into a full-service carpentry contracting firm, never losing sight of our commitment to traditional craftsmanship.

2005

The Beginning

Founded in a 600 sq ft garage with two table saws, a hand plane collection, and a vision for precision woodworking that refused to compromise.

2010

Commercial Expansion

Expanded our capabilities to include structural framing, commercial millwork, and large-scale renovation projects across the metropolitan area.

2016

Sustainability Initiative

Transitioned to 90% FSC-certified lumber, implemented zero-waste shop practices, and earned Green Builder certification for residential projects.

2024

500th Project Milestone

Completed our 500th project, launched our master apprentice program, and relocated to a 12,000 sq ft climate-controlled fabrication facility.

What We Actually Build

Every service is backed by technical expertise, proper permitting, and materials selected for longevity. Here's a closer look at our core competencies.

🪚 Custom Millwork & Cabinetry

We design and fabricate kitchen cabinets, bathroom vanities, and built-in storage using European-style hinge systems, soft-close mechanisms, and hand-rubbed oil finishes. Every joint is dovetail or box-jointed for maximum structural integrity.

🏗️ Structural Framing & Remodels

From load-bearing wall removal to second-story additions, our framers follow IBC codes and use laser leveling, engineered lumber where required, and metal connector plates for seismic/wind resistance.

🪜 Outdoor Structures

Decks, pergolas, and gazebos built with ACQ-treated lumber or thermally modified hardwoods. We specify proper flashing, drainage slopes, and thermal expansion gaps to prevent warping and decay.

🚪 Architectural Woodwork

Crown molding, baseboards, window casings, and custom doors. We use traditional hand planes for reveal edges, match existing profiles for historic homes, and apply multi-stage stain/finish systems.

Core Values & Principles

TimberCraft isn't just about cutting wood. It's about how we work, how we treat our clients, and how we show up on every jobsite.

🎯

Precision First

Measure twice, cut once isn't just a saying—it's our baseline. We use laser measurement, CNC routing for consistency, and hand-fitting for final tolerances under 1/32".

🌲

Sustainable Sourcing

We prioritize FSC-certified timber, local hardwoods, and formaldehyde-free adhesives. Every material choice considers environmental impact and indoor air quality.

🤝

Transparent Pricing

No hidden fees, no surprise change orders. You receive a line-item breakdown before work begins, and we document every adjustment in writing.

🛡️

Safety & Compliance

OSHA-certified crews, daily site inspections, proper PPE, and full licensing/insurance. Your home and our team's safety are never compromised for speed.

Craftsmanship Standards

We don't cut corners because wood doesn't forgive. Here's what you can expect from every TimberCraft project.

📐 Tolerance Standards

Cabinet gaps: 1/16" or less. Door/plumb alignment: 1/32". Floor transitions: flush within 1/16". We verify every measurement before finish application.

🎨 Finish Systems

3-coat catalyzed lacquer or hand-rubbed tung oil depending on application. Sanding progresses from 80 to 220 grit. UV inhibitors added for exterior or sun-exposed surfaces.

📦 Warranty Coverage

5-year workmanship warranty, 10-year structural warranty on decks, and manufacturer warranties passed directly to you. We stand behind every screw, joint, and coat.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to the questions our clients ask most before starting a project.

Typical lead times range from 4–8 weeks for cabinetry and 2–4 weeks for trim/remodel work during peak season (March–October). We recommend scheduling consultations 60–90 days ahead of your desired start date.

Yes. All structural work, exterior decks, and electrical/plumbing-adjacent carpentry require permits. We pull permits, schedule inspections, and ensure all work passes municipal code review before closing out.

Kitchen cabinets: Maple, Cherry, or White Oak for durability. Outdoor decks: Pressure-treated pine, Cedar, or Ipe hardwood. Trim/Molding: Poplar (paint-grade) or Walnut (stain-grade). We'll recommend species based on your budget and use case.

Pricing factors include material selection, labor hours, complexity of joinery, finish type, and site conditions. We provide a detailed line-item quote after the on-site assessment, covering materials, labor, permits, and waste disposal.

Absolutely. We use plastic sheeting, HEPA air scrubbers for dust control, and protective floor coverings. For partial remodels, we phase work to minimize disruption and maintain daily site cleanup.
