We are a small family owned company that believes in building structures and products that last generations. We specialize in timber framing which has been around for thousands of years using joinery and wood fastners, instead of screws and nails. This includes- barns, sheds, cabins, gazebos, houses, etc. Our process starts with gathering as much information to understand the project goal. Next, we will provide a 3D project plan so you can see the process come to life. The final step will be when building starts, updates pictures and timeless will be offered during this process. We also offer specialized stairways, (including spirals), decks, additions, porches and built in furniture.
"I can’t say enough great things about Dusty and the incredible work he did building our small timber framed shed. From start to finish, the entire process was smooth and professional. Dusty took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and offered helpful suggestions that enhanced the overall design. The craftsmanship is top-notch – the structure is sturdy, beautifully built, and perfectly suited to our space. Not only was the work completed on time, but he also maintained a clean and organized work area throughout the project. If you’re looking for someone reliable, skilled, and easy to work with, I highly recommend Dusty/Traditions Timber Frames. We couldn’t be happier with the final result!"

"Requested TV mounted on the wall. Decided I didn't want drywall cut into chose just the mounting. Price was similar to other quotes, but he had more reviews so I chose them. I originally showed him the mount at the estimate. Then he arrived for the scheduled install. He stated I should get a different mount because the one I had was big. I agrred assuming he knew best.He went and purchased a new mount and came back fir install. They attempted to mount the mount straight into the DRY WALL. I came out to look when they were done, and moved the mount to see it and the mount basically pulled from the wall. So they had to reinstall everything on the stud, like should have been done. Now I had holes in dry wall. Then they didn't look at the directions for the mount. Pieces were installed incorrectly, the tilt mechanism wasn't put together correctly, they had to come back, fill the holes, and reinstall the mount. They did it wrong again before I corrected them. They still never read the actual mount directions. Still have holes where they searched for studs and marks on the wall. I wish I went with someone else."

We are a custom granite & quartz fabrication shop with many years of experience. We specialize in making the most beautiful kitchen counter tops, bathroom vanity tops, fireplaces & wet bars. Our company guarantees that our customers will be 100% satisfied with the quality of work that we produce.
"We went here to pick out granite surfaces for a new walk-in shower in the master BR...bench tops, soap shelf tops, window sill and curb sill. Everything went fine at the store. Things fell apart after that. Deadlines weren't met...repeatedly, deadlines they set. Expectations they set went unmet. Communication was poor. If something is wrong just tell me. I can deal with that. Fortunately our contractor did the work of communicating with them and making things happen...finally! Probably a good thing it wasn't me.Don't keep telling me what you think I want to hear and completely destroy your credibility with lousy performance. In the end, we got the project done and are fairly certain about what happened. Not going to share that because I am not completely sure. However, we are absolutely certain that we'll never do business with this company again. We would encourage you to look elsewhere. This product is expensive. Choose wisely. There are plenty of options out there."

"While the caulking job itself was fine, not much care was taken with the existing tub glaze. In the removal of the old caulk, the tub glaze was torn and scraped. Unfortunately, I was not very satisfied with the outcome."

On average, replacing a deck railing costs about $925. This includes all the materials and labor needed to install a new porch or deck railing system with a durable finish. For instance, adding a new handrail on your front steps costs around $80 per linear foot. This price ensures your new railing is safe, looks great, and meets building codes.
Balusters and spindles offer structural support to the railing and run from the footing to the handrail. While their names are often used interchangeably, these support posts differ in their footing design. Balusters rest on a step, floor, or deck, while spindles have a footing rail attached to the bottom of the posts.
Choosing the right contractor for stair railing replacement is determined by the project’s complexity. A general contractor provides professional expertise and precision for a design that involves custom curves or intricate details. For straightforward installations, a qualified handyman delivers efficient service. Hiring skilled professionals guarantees that the installation meets all safety and building code requirements while ensuring lasting quality.
If it's still structurally sound, you can update your existing stair railing without removing it. By repairing any damages and then painting or refinishing it, you can give your staircase a fresh new look. This approach saves time and money while ensuring your railing meets all safety and building code requirements.
Reusing your existing stair spindles is a practical option when they’re in good condition. Notifying your contractor in advance is essential to ensure the spindles are preserved during removal. After removal, refinishing the spindles with a fresh coat of paint or stain will match them with your new railing design while maintaining sustainability and a cohesive aesthetic.
Stair railing balusters are mandated to maintain a spacing of no more than four inches apart. This precise measurement prevents a four-inch sphere from passing through and ensures the railing system is secure. Maintaining this gap is essential for structural integrity and safety. Be sure to verify that your installation meets these requirements as specified by local building codes.
