"We were incredibly impressed with David & his team. They worked so efficiently, communicated well, and delivered well above our expectations for our outdoor living space. David did a great job matching the architecture of our historic home while delivering modern desires. His crew worked in every temperature — even tons of snow —- everyday until the job was done. I couldn’t believe his team’s work ethic- very hard to find now a days! David responded quickly to every request and made himself present throughout the project daily. His team is great with all the details. This new space is my favorite part of our home. Highly recommend!"

"We heard about Derrick through my son. Derrick and his crew did an AWESOME job on our pool house. He hand picked the materials to get the very best to use. They were very detailed on every part of this. He could have charged us alot more for what he did but he stayed honest and did the work for what his estimate was. We found our new company for every project we do from here on out. I would recommend Building Better Homes Management to everyone. Thank you Derrick and crew for an excellent job."

"Great Friendly Service. Estimated to take a week or two to complete. Took a month to paint the exterior trim on my house. Mostly weather related. Be prepared if you are doing an exterior project for mother nature to get in the way! Only downfall to this project is that it took longer than expected, there are areas that were not finished i had to get them back out for. There are still some spots that are not covered. The project went over estimate. The deck sealing did not seem to do anything. I thought water would bubble up on the wood boards and they are still absorbing moisture. Waste of the extra money and I will just do it myself"

"Trino and his crew did an amazing job! They spent 4 days stripping and refinishing our two large mahogany front doors and they turned out beautifully. They carefully taped off the entire lower level and painted two coats to cover the existing darker paint color. The crew was prompt, tidy and professional. Trino is a nice, trustworthy and highly professional manager of his painting crew. I would highly recommend them for any painting or refinishing job inside our outside of your home or business."

"I recently removed a wall in our house and called RJE General Construction to quote the job of patching the ceiling and existing wall. They came out the same day and gave us a quote that was lower than expected, and significantly lower than another quote I received. My wife and I are extremely happy with the work that was completed. The wall is ready to paint, and they textured the ceiling after they patched it. They used a drop cloth to protect the floors, and swept everything up with a broom and vacuum. The work was incredible, the worker was nice and considerate, and I would highly recommend this company."

FAQs for new home building projects in Cincinnati, OH

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.
