Testimonials

We’ve had TRC Timberworks come and do many jobs for us over the last couple of years, so as you can imagine, I can
tell you lots of great stories, but I will be brief. Tim is an amazing fellow to say the least but as for a contractor, he’s the best!

Most important, his desire to succeed shines with his communication skills and promptness. Always there when he says he’ll be there, which I found very important because we all are busy people with lots going on. Tim listened with interest and concern for our desires to the projects and he asked questions when I wasn’t clear enough. It was always easy to write my cheques promptly when he delivered his invoices because we were always pleased.

As for his skills with his craft: “amazing”. He never ceases to amaze me, so young and yet so clever! Tim takes his time to do the job right, I loved his enthusiasm! He was a complete joy to have on site each and every day, and I look forward to more projects with him and his company in the future.

Our home project was anything but traditional. We set out to create a 4 floor split level true A-frame; entirely out of engineered wood products. Tim adapted instantly to the laminated timbers and the bolted hidden-plate joinery. He maintained a good working relationship with our engineer, which is a must when building a timber frame home. My wife Dianne was overjoyed at being welcomed into productive design and solution discussions.

Tim is a very personable and infectiously relaxed gentleman. We trust his craftsmanship insomuch that I hope to have him return and tackle the vertical walls, which are an IR efficient curtain-wall glass system. Fortunately, Tim welcomes and meets any challenge. Our frame is the showpiece of our home’s design, and is completely visible throughout the structure. It is truly a thing of beauty. Tim’s work, and ethic, are first class in every regard.

Tim was an incredible asset when I moved my store Maplerose to its new location. The renovations of the new space had to happen in a short and exact time frame in order to minimize business disruptions. Tim was right on time with everything and we were ready to open on schedule. We wanted the shelving and counter space to have an organic, natural look and Tim was able to bring all my ideas to life. Our customers often comment on the beauty of the store space. He was easy to work and communicate with, and his work is impeccable.

I have collaborated with Tim for several years on a range of timber-framing and natural building projects in the West Kootenays. Building can be a stressful business, but Tim has a calm and easy going demeanour while working, which makes the inevitable challenges of construction seem simple to deal with. All the people involved from top to bottom are treated with respect and their input is valued, which makes for an enjoyable and productive workplace.

Tim’s attention to detail and understanding of the whole building process from start to finish makes sure that no corners are cut and the best building practices are used throughout. His woodworking skills shine in the finer aspects of home building to create beautiful finished interiors. He is a passionate and thoughtful craftsman who is always open to learning new (or old) ways of building, and his professionalism ensures clients are kept informed and engaged in the process of creating what they want and dream of.
