Timberline Construction

We interviewed several contractors before landing on Christian and Timberline. We broke ground in September of 2021, just as lumber was nearing a peak and going into a period of historically high inflation, particularly in the construction industry. Despite all of that, by working closely together we're coming into the finishing straight on time and UNDER budget. The relationship has been friendly, fun and easy to work with across their whole team. The quality of work has been extremely good and the attention to detail extremely good. A wholehearted endorsemement

Our experience with Timberline was outstanding. We were first time home builders with little knowledge of the process. We relied on Timberline’s expertise to help bridge that knowledge gap and we were not disappointed. Our primary home was on the east coast and with all the communication and pictures we received it never felt like a long distance build. The results were amazing and we now have our Tahoe dream home.

Christian and Timberline Construction were fantastic in constructing our 4400 sq ft home in Truckee. Christian is a great communicator that has his teams at the site when he says they will be there. He was always there to answer our numerous calls throughout the build and rolled with the changes well. Thanks Timberline for our beautiful new mountain home!

Christian and I have worked on three different projects together and I am always impressed with his communication skills, level of detail, and his approach to realistic and reasonable job pricing. I hope to work with him more!

Timberline was the contractor on a large remodel of our 4500 sq ft 30 year old Squaw Valley ski house. The remodel was designed by a high end architectural design firm. Timberline did a great job executing on the job in all respects and I would use them again and highly recommend. They did a particularly good job of working with both the design firm and us as things changed during the project. They also did a great job identifying other issues with the house and then working with us to get an appropriate fix.

Our relationship and experience with Timberline Construction and Christian Edwards requires some explanation. In 2005 my wife Cindy and I bought a twenty acres parcel in Juniper Hill above Glenshire just east of Truckee with the intention of building a log home. After my retirement we moved to Truckee in 2015 and began the process of securing a log home builder. Unfortunately that contractor was both unscrupulous and ill-informed about construction practices in Truckee, resulting in a year of lost time and over $10,000 in squandered funds. Our experience with Timberline was the complete opposite. Christian is a consummate builder. He knows the business thoroughly and has the best crew of workers. In fact, during the course of the build there were only 4 days where someone was not working. As a result, the build moved along at a brisk pace. We began excavation in May of 2017 and finished in January of 2018. Since we were living in a trailer on the property only a few hundred feet from the site, we were able to observe every phase of the process. Perhaps most important is Christian’s skill as a communicator. As rank novices to home construction, we very much appreciated his kind patience in explaining every step of the way. Amazingly enough, we came in only slightly over budget, largely to his help and expertise. From excavation to the certificate of occupancy, there were never any surprises or setbacks. Even after the completion of the house Christian continued to check with us for any shortcomings. His attention to detail and suggestions on how to cut costs were most appreciated. Over the five years we have lived in Truckee we have talked to many people who have built homes here. Many of their stories are filled with cost overruns, weeks of no progress, unacceptable quality of work, and general frustration. We experienced none of these. We were so fortunate to find Timberline Construction.

After an extensive search of the Tahoe area to find the right contractor, we selected Christian Edwards and the Timberline Construction team to completely refurbish the interior of our Tahoe Donner home. Christian and Marc Hassel-Cramer, our construction supervisor, worked smoothly with our designer, our tight schedule and our extensive wish list that included custom cabinetry and furniture. Every surface and system of the house was updated. From the first interview, where Christian suggested a solution to a complex ventilation problem to the final correction of a walnut hardwood floor issue, the project ran smoothly. All of Timberline’s sub-contractors were a pleasure to work with and did an outstanding job. We highly recommend Timberline Construction.

Christian Edwards, of Timberline Construction, built our house that is in the Northstar Resort in Tahoe. The house was completed in the winter of 2016. We absolutely love the house. He did a beautiful job. Christian was easy to work with and moved the project along at a great pace. He always provided plenty of lead time in the decisions that needed to be made so that the project was never waiting on us. He kept us fully informed about the pace of the project. All of his subcontractors were of great quality and they were all friendly. I would definitely choose to use Christian again.

We chose Christian after vetting 5 Truckee builders. We knew exactly what we wanted to do to this cute little A-frame cottage. It had good bones but was dark, abused and neglected for well nigh thirty years. All the contractors we interviewed were competent and competitive professionals but were daunted by our big eyes and a limited budget. We wanted to wash with light the dark interior by scooping in the outdoors with a front, all glass window wall. We also wanted to push out the tight front room and kitchen with large glazed box windows. Christian figured out all the details with keen intelligence and enterprise. In the end, we saw what we had imagined, pulled together, within budget, and given weather and all, on time. Thanks to Chistian, where there was once a near shack, we now have a modern, three bedroom A-Frame, with an entertainment kitchen, a bright loft and front room warmed by a striking gas fireplace. Thank you, Christian for your patience, expertise, diligence and hard work.

Attention to details, expertise in building and the permitting process, and good follow through with a solid finish are what you're going to get working with Christian and his crew at Timberline Construction. One of the best in the industry, hands down. If you want it done right and you want to enjoy the process of building your investment, you've found the right guy! Look no further.

Timberline Construction remodeled my entry way and guest bathroom. They were fantastic! Very professional and did the project within the budget and on time. What more can you ask for?! I would recommend Christian and his crew for any project.

Christian did several projects in our home, gave us great advice and did the work on time, on price and excellently. I would recommend bim without hesitation.
