This permanent residence south of St. Cloud features a cross-gable design with over-under ridges (see the bottom photos).  It's a common-rafter design with 4 valleys.  A fully timber framed entryway enhances the exterior.  The general contractor on this project was Chris Schellinger of Remodeling Professionals.

 

After working with different timber framers during our design process, it was very clear to us that Clark and Northern Lights Timber Framing was the right choice.  We were impressed by Clark's commitment to quality, timber frame design creativity, depth of knowledge, flexibility, and professionalism.  He was very easy to work with during all stages of the project.  We were particularly impressed with his computer software, which enabled us to see our future home in a three dimensional manner.  This helped us immensely.  When the frame was raised, there were no surprises in how it was going to look.

The quality of the work by the Northern Lights crew was impeccable.  They have a passion for their work and it shows.  The joinery was tight, the timber selection was perfect, and the timbers were well cared for throughout the project.  Many people commented on how they were impressed with the appearance of the timbers after the raising.

We would recommend Northern Lights Timber Framing to anyone.  They made our timber frame home construction a positive and fun experience.
