Here's the
main floor plan,
and the loft floor
plan. This home was featured in the 2009 Rochester Spring
Showcase of
Homes.
After talking
to a number of timber frame contractors including Northern Lights
Timber Framing and several national firms, it became apparent that
selecting a local contractor was the best way to proceed. It was
obvious from the first time we met with Clark that he and his crew
were not only very dedicated and professional but also easy to work
with. He answered all of our questions and even helped us locate a
first rate home designer. From the initial design stages through
the carving and raising of the frame to the end of the project Clark
was always willing to answer any questions or concerns that we, our
designer or general contractor had. We also spent many enlightening
hours at his shop where he patiently and enthusiastically explained
the whole process and showed us the work being done on the timbers.
The whole project from start to finish has been a very enjoyable
experience for us and that has been due to the professionalism,
dedication, skill and passion that Clark, his crew and everyone else
involved has demonstrate throughout. I would not hesitate to
recommend Northern Lights Timber Framing to anyone thinking about
building a timber frame home.
