Adrian and his team of craftsmen were top notch, easy and personal to work with and the results exceeding my expectations. After seven years of living in the home, I have had zero issues with the house. I would highly recommend Frameworks Timber. **★★★★★ — Raw Urth Designs, Nov. 2015** > We recently partnered with Frameworks on a few projects integrating custom metal pieces into their designs. They were detailed, easy to work with, and do beautiful work. It is obvious they go out of their way to get their clients exactly what they need. We would not hesitate to partner with them in the future. **★★★★★ — VFLA Architecture + Interiors, Sept. 2015** > I worked with Frameworks Timber on the design of a unique high-end garage in the mountains. The design challenges involved the incorporation of timber beams and trusses that reflected the architecture of the existing adjacent residence. The professionals at Frameworks Timber met with us early on during the design phase to coordinate our aesthetic intent with their processes of construction. Then they sent us accurate shop drawings for review to before starting the building process. The end result is a cohesive design that everyone is proud of. > We thoroughly enjoyed working with Adrian and his team and look forward to working with them again soon! **★★★★★ — Chris, Sept. 2015** > When life gives you lemons... > As any avid gardner or plant lover can tell you, it is hard to see your green friends perish. Such was the case for my wife and I in the winter of 2011. It had been a dry winter in Colorado and while sunshine is always welcome in our sunny state, its sad not to see the white powder that we natives are accustomed to seeing. With the ground exposed and dry, coupled with high wind storms that were blowing down power poles, it was just a matter of time. > Our neighbor across the street called us on the phone, “Have you looked outside your window?” she asked, “you’re not going to believe this”. I looked and to my horrified surprise, there was one of our beloved blue spruce trees blown over and laying on our next door neighbors house. It was a bewildering site to see this 70 ft. giant not in in its upright position. Fortunately, no one was injured in the fall and amazingly, our neighbors house was not badly damaged. > > Once the shock passed, my wife and I gave considerable thought as to the fate of this fallen monument - but we had to act quickly. Our first thought was to reach out to our friend and owner of Frameworks Timber, Adrian Jones. It was the right decision because without hesitation, Adrian presented a most perfect solution. What better way to pay homage to our friend than with a free-standing timber frame style pergola where this blue giant once stood. My wife and I loved the idea of this sustainable and responsible solution and could not have been more pleased with the end result. Having the blue spruce fall was tragic, but when life gives you lemons, you make a gorgeous pergola: > http://www.houzz.com/projects/1173444/smith-pergola **★★★★★ — Lindgren Landscape, Dec. 2014** > We hired Frameworks Timber to help us fabricate and install a large shade structure for a project in Fort Collins. They were a great help during the design process from the very beginning. Dave and Adrian were very helpful throughout the entire process, but they really impressed during construction. These guys are one of the true craftsmen left. They were on time, on budget, and did not miss a detail. We have built many structures with several different contractors in the last 20 years, and there is no comparison. **★★★★★ — David Hueter Design, Dec. 2014** > Frameworks Timber is an exceptional team of precision oriented craftsmen! > They are professional, efficient, detail oriented, artistic and consistently > exhibit respect towards my clients, while retaining my architectural vision. > Contact me directly with questions and concerns > > David Hueter Design ## Selected projects - [Six Pines Cabin](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/six-pines-cabin-pj-vj~220779) - Location: Red Feather Lakes, CO - Photos: 21 - Description: This is a custom timber frame home in Red Feather Lakes, CO.

Where did it come from?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Hi Heather. The unit was built by Tharp Cabinets in Loveland, CO. www.tharpcabinets.com **Q: beautiful!** *(in Photo Questions)* By any chance can you tell me the make and colour of tile used on the surround? I love how you mixed it with the green vertical boards - so lovely! A: The tile was a decision between the homeowner and tile-setter, so we unfortunately don't have that information for you. Thanks for your interest! **Q: Shower** *(in Design Dilemma)* How to make a walk in shower A: To make a walk-in shower without a curb, the floor in the shower area needs to be approx. 1-2" lower than the surrounding floor. This is because you need to slope the shower floor to a drain. This calls for shallower floor joists in the shower area, which means you will probably want to consult an engineer to help solve the difference in floor framing. Hope that helps the thought process! **Q: What's the countertop material?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: The countertop is pigmented concrete by Greyrock Concrete here in Fort Collins, CO **Q: Cabinets?** *(in Photo Questions)* What is the paint color on the kitchen cabinets? A: The paint is Allback Organic Linseed Paint, color: Lichen. It is a Swedish product, beautiful and environmentally friendly, but somewhat difficult to apply. Hope that helps! **Q: Need Your Help to create a welcoming approach to house** *(in Design Dilemma)* We are slowly renovating this old farmhouse and need suggestions for making the walkway to the entry a bit more welcoming than it is. The shrubs can go. We have plenty of room for a garden area. We plan on having a small deck off the entry and maybe a pergola. This isn't the front door, but will be the door that is used most often. If this were your project, what would you do? A: Having a roof over your door is always a good idea to (1) give you cover while you search for your keys, fumble your groceries, etc., and (2) to prevent weather from getting inside when the door is open. Seems like natural wood tones would compliment what you have going on in terms of color. Check out a similar project we did a few years back...the new Entry adds a lot of character to an otherwise plain house. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
