"We contacted Ron in February, 2020 about rebuilding our four bedroom ranch house. We had decided that my mother needed to come live with us, but she wanted a separate space in the house with her own bedroom, bathroom, sitting area, and kitchen. We needed a separate apartment within our house to achieve this, so it would be a custom build. Ron met with us and understood what we wanted to do. He had some great ideas and we liked his approach. From the start, we could sense Ron’s level of personal and business integrity. He is completely honest and straightforward. We actually signed the building contract the week that everything shut down from Covid because Ron assured us that things would be fine moving forward. We met for several months and planned the construction. Ron has a great team - the guys have been working with him for years - and they worked on the house almost every day from demolition to completion. Ron was very concerned with keeping us within budget. We decided to make some changes along the way, and Ron was completely upfront about cost. We are very happy with everything we selected. Ron is ethical, hardworking, and very responsive. If you call or text, he responds quickly. He is customer service oriented and his work is of the highest quality. In fact, on the last county inspection, the inspector made a point to tell me that he had done all of our home inspections and did not have a single issue along the way, which is rare when you take the house down to the foundation. He said we had a top quality home and no corners were cut. He said he had a very short list of builders he would recommend, and Ron and GCG was on it. I still can’t believe we built a custom home, but it is gorgeous and exactly what we wanted. Ron made the whole process very pleasant. If you want the best of the best, GCG is the one to choose."

"JMR was great throughout the whole process!! It was easy to set up an estimate with them, they were very accommodating to my schedule. The estimator who came out to take measurements and pictures was very professional and nice. When I got my estimate later, it was very detailed and explained the process thoroughly. I had also contacted other companies for separate estimates, soI could compare. None of the estimates compared to JMR's and they were definitely competitive in prices. Once I called to get the work done, they made sure that I was well informed on everything and I was comfortable in the whole process. The day that the crew came, the foreman and the crew itself were very courteous and knew what they were doing. The covered all my floors and furniture perfectly and worked in a timely manner. They removed and scrapped off the popcorn ceiling texture first. Then they skimmed and evened out the ceiling perfectly. Finally they primed it and applied one coat of ceiling paint. During this they repaired some drywall and install new light fixtures. After the ceiling was done, they painted my whole basement. The outcome of it was spectacular. The foreman did a walkthrough when they were done and I could not see anything wrong with the job. Even the cleanup of the dust was flawless, as they had their cleaning company come and clean it. I have no complaints whatsoever for JMR and I have definitely been recommending them to my friends and family."

"I called Bath Planet Atlanta and the crew was the best from start to finish. In preparation for a new tenant, the apartment had to be redone within a month's time. Everything came out great. The crew was on point with patience and professionalism. They were on time and made sure the place was cleaned after each day. We, initially, needed a bathroom redone from the beams in preparation for a new tenant. It started out with the bathroom. The kitchen cabinets needed to be replaced, hallway and living room floors needed to be restrained and bedroom French doors need to be replaced. As a rental property owner, I have put Bath Planet's number on speed dial. He is thorough, reasonable and listens to the client's ideas and concerns. Would highly recommend Bath Planet Atlanta to anyone looking to upgrade their apartment!"
The affordability of wood species varies by region and availability. Eastern white pine represents the most economical option for many areas, while Douglas fir offers a mid-range alternative with excellent strength characteristics. Oak and other hardwoods command premium prices, but they also provide superior durability. Your choice should balance initial cost against long-term performance needs and the structural requirements of your specific design.
Timber frame homes require the same basic building permits as conventional construction, but may need additional engineering documentation. Some jurisdictions require structural calculations and stamped drawings, particularly for designs with large open spans or unusual load distributions. Local building departments might have specific requirements for timber connections and fire resistance ratings. Consulting with officials early in your planning process helps avoid costly surprises.
The construction timeline for a timber frame home ranges from six months to over a year, depending on the project's complexity and size. The frame preparation phase, during which timbers are cut and test-fitted in a workshop, can take several weeks to several months. The actual frame raising can occur relatively quickly—often in just a few days—but finishing work follows a similar timeline to conventional construction. Weather conditions and contractor availability also affect scheduling.
Larger timber members actually offer inherent fire resistance advantages over smaller dimensional lumber. Massive beams char on their exterior while maintaining their structural integrity at their core, potentially giving occupants more time to evacuate during a fire. This contrasts with thinner framing members that can fail more quickly when exposed to flames. However, comprehensive fire safety depends on multiple factors, including insulation materials, interior finishes, and properly designed electrical systems.
Timber frame construction adapts well to diverse climate conditions when proper design considerations are taken into account. In cold regions, the structure pairs excellently with high-performance insulation systems. For humid environments, selecting, treating, and managing moisture in wood becomes critical. Coastal areas may require special design considerations for wind resistance and salt exposure. Working with designers familiar with your specific climate ensures the selection of appropriate materials and construction details for long-term performance.
