At Timber Artisans LLC we strive to take wood construction to new levels. Our mission is to provide quality design and build services in all aspects of wood construction applicable to any form of architecture. Wood is making a strong comeback as a structural building material with design professionals all over the world taking advantage. Throughout all of our projects we try to take our raw wooden materials, new or reclaimed, and elevate them into an art form that enhances the built environment in which we live. Our emphasis on using a combination of traditional building methodology and advanced construction techniques ensures exceptional quality and efficient production. Our stand on sustainability is focused around using renewable building materials and applying them in a way that insures longevity thus reducing the need to rebuild in the future. Our ultimate goal is to give clients exactly what they want and more. We understand construction to be one of the greatest and most important investments we make as individuals. Whether your project is an entire design/build for a modern timber home, or a reclaimed farm house table to have family dinners upon, we are building for generations to enjoy.

Our very name — Artis — comes from the Latin word for craftsman, a reflection of the enormous pride we take in our mastery of time-honored building trades. Although our roots are in the traditions of the past, our approach is firmly in the present. We offer a curated team of skilled craftsmen dedicated to meeting our clients’ every need. From meticulous historic preservation to complex new construction, our team delivers excellence from foundation to finish.
