Custom doors installation
We specialize in custom installations including doors and trim work and often work on vintage cabins which present significant challenges, as walls and opening are rarely straight or plumb. Installing new doors in older buildings often requires custom milling of woodwork and trim. For this project, we installed a new energy efficient front door and a site-built door frame and jamb for the solid-core closet door. We mortised for hinges, bored and mortised for the door knobs and strike plates and installed all trim work. We love the new front door with large window that let's in so much natural light for our clients. Pat and Karen, Bailey, CO

Outbuilding/Chicken Coop
Our client's homesteading lifestyle benefits by design & builds that are customized, highly functional, solidly built and can be modified over time, as needs change. This outbuilding will begin its life as a warm and safe chicken coop but may be used in the future as a garden tool/planting shed or a garden pavilion. Protecting livestock in Colorado is challenging with our strong winds, extreme temperature changes, ice damming/snow loads, as well as effective barriers to deter natural predators. We build to last! ​Greg & Kim, Conifer Ranch, Conifer, CO

Wild Rose, L-Shaped Deck
We love working with our repeat clients, especially those who possess exceptional woodworking, design and communication skills! While we bring an arsenal of tools and decades of experience to every project, we often work in partnership with our clients to create high-end updates to their homes that may be too large or complex for them to tackle on their own. This custom cedar decking features a series of picture frame deck panels that are both beautiful and offer efficient use of the expensive materials. Dan & Kim, Evergreen, CO
Carpentry & Cabinetry
River View, Deck Build
We built a large deck for our clients who have a beautiful vintage cabin and backyard view of the Platte River in Bailey, CO. Building a deck so near the river presents some special challenges. Based on the client's deck design and the high water table, we installed a floating deck that does not attach to the house and moves with the seasonal frost heave. The decorative, site-built beams will allow for hanging patio lights, plants and bird feeders. Pat & Karen, Bailey, CO

Four Table Bases
As part of our collaboration with Conifer Ranch, we are commissioned to build four custom table bases to replace whiskey barrel bases that were weather damaged and beyond repair. This is the completed prototype; three more table bases were completed for an upcoming special event. The new table bases fit the existing steel tabletops; while the design is newly optimized for minimal maintenance and ease of transportation. The table tops are detachable from the bases and both can be moved by fewer people, as needed, for special events and winter storage. ​Greg & Kim, Conifer Ranch, Conifer, CO
REMODELING & RESTORATION
Replacing electrical switches
As part of our remodeling services, we are often called to track down and repair faulty electrical connections in the home; such as electrical outlets and light switches. Jack & Ann, Conifer, CO
REMODELING & RESTORATION
Drywall Repair
We often receive requests for drywall repairs, whether from accidents, in-wall plumbing repairs or simply to prepare a home for repainting. We focus on the details, making the repairs and matching the wall textures as seamlessly as possible. Jack & Ann, Conifer, CO
Remodeling & Restoration
Bathroom refresh
This family-owned, nine acre guest ranch near Estes Park has been in operation by the same family since 1948 and offers two "modest, rustic and quirky" cabins nestled in a wildlife rich, woodland setting.  We refreshed the bathroom in the newest of the two cabins; removing and replacing the wall panels and installing additional lighting, a heating/venting fan, as well as new outlets & switches. ​ Happy 100th Anniversary Mountainbrooks Ranch!

Carpentry & Cabinetry
Garden Gates
We built two garden gates for our client using cedar wood to construct fully enclosed frames and cross-bracing. All the joints were glued with exterior grade adhesive and reinforced with lag bolts. We expect these solid, gates to last 10-20 years. Connie, Conifer, CO
Carpentry & Cabinetry

Kitchen Shelves
We built custom kitchen shelves to fit an open cabinet that was previously filled with a small TV, using two types of wood, alder and maple. ​We love that the shelves blend seamlessly into the original kitchen cabinetry. Jack & Ann, Conifer, CO
Carpentry & Cabinetry
Home Gym Shelves
This beautiful mountain home sports a very desirable home gym with a built-in corner nook. We hung a series of large mirrors, built shelves for the gym, as well as trimmed out a window. We milled the raw wood to include a bead detail found on the baseboards throughout the home and finished the wood with an oil-based stain to match the existing woodwork. Jack & Ann, Conifer, CO

Deck Repair, Pickets & Cap rail
With our intense sunshine and extreme weather changes, deck repairs are ongoing in our neck of the woods. Our clients requested new scrolled pickets to an match an existing pattern. We also replaced the cap rail. Luke & Ann, Bailey, CO

As part of our work with Conifer Ranch, we install the pond fountains seasonly; removing them in the late fall, packing them up to safely store over the winter and reinstalling them again in the springtime. ​Greg & Kim, Conifer Ranch, Conifer, CO
