Client Reviews

What people say about us:

  • It was a pleasure to have yourself and the rest of the Northern Timberhouse crew working on our cottage. It was a pleasure to see people who are so obviously enthusiastic and painstaking in their efforts to product a building such as this. I was impressed by their craftsmanship and hard work. The project not only met but exceeded my expectations.

    In this day and age when one comes to expect less than perfect results in most endeavors, it is a pleasure to see people who not only obviously enjoy their work but take pride in their craftsmanship. My sincere thanks for your efforts.

  • Janine and I want to express our thanks and compliments to all of you for an excellent job. Especially for the white glove treatment to the pickled pine beams. We really appreciate the care and consideration given by all the crew to the concept and the erection process. This merging and blending in timber frame to an existing house was a different undertaking and couldn't have been carried out without the wonderful co-operation we received from Northern Timberhouse. Thanks to all for making our house a very special place.

  • We would like to say thanks for all your efforts and working creating our beautiful building. As you know, we started out about three years ago with a plan from our architect here in Munich. This plan originally was made for a somewhat larger house but we have never regretted that we finally settled with the present building size. 

    The plans for the timber frame, the logs and for all the subcontractors were made by you and we can say that they really work and nobody had any problems during the time of construction. We are happy that the building was finished on time with no major problems whatsoever arising in the past 12 months. 
    In respect of your work (timber frame, logs, chinking, deck, etc.) we can only say: spectacular! Not only we like this building very much. If you could only know how many people (even professionals) have admired our place! We are certainly proud of it. 
    We believe that there is hardly any cottage in the Highlands which comes even close to the quality of our cottage. Again, we want to say thank you for your exceptional work. The contract, including all verbal agreements, were fulfilled by you in a very reliable and trustworthy manner. Please convey our thanks also to your experienced staff. Good craftsmen!

  • Just a short note to again emphasize how pleased we are with the work your team performed for us. They are a great group of guys and the whole experience was nothing but enjoyable.

  • We have now formally completed our contract to build my new timber frame home in Uxbridge. I would like you to know that our contract represents approximately the fifth contract I have had with a home builder/renovator. Our relationship has not only been smooth but actually enjoyable in sharp contrast with some of my previous experiences. What distinguishes this project from my others? Firstly you have been very forthright with me. Secondly, your work has been of exceptional technical quality. Clearly, you have the master joiners' architectural skills right through to carpentry. Thirdly, you are associated with outstanding individuals and each sub-trade that you have brought in have been a pleasure to deal with and I enjoyed the individuals. Your own crew are unique and talented people. 

    There is no question that there has been a family feeling in the whole job and I respect the leadership that has created that feeling. Finally, you are a heck of a nice guy and I hope that we maintain what I regard as a friendship. 

    Brenda and I will always be glad that we recruited Northern Timberhouse to do this project.

  • We have really appreciated the time and effort you and crew have put into making a major part of our dream a reality. Thank you so much for your attention and your craftsmanship of the finest calibre.
