"Not enough can be said about the integrity, ethic, and dedication of Leo and his crew. To make a long story short. Talk is cheap and few people actually live up to the hype. We had 6 people come look at the roof before meeting Leo. Five ran away without even a quote. So when Leo said I'll use commercial grade materials with a lifetime ownership warranty, and have it done in three days. In my head I laughed. He did everything he promised, in the time frame he promised and threw in a few extras. If your looking for quality construction at an affordable price. Choose Wolfe's General contracting."

"Stephen was very easy to work with. He kept me informed as to starting date and issues that came up as he removed our old siding. He worked with us on budget and there were no surprises on the final cost of the project. He coordinated with our painter and made suggestions along the way on carpentry details to enhance the look of our home. We're very pleased with the final product!"

"The addition that he designed and built was an excellent solution to our problem. It is both functionally sound (with a heater, fan and windows) and aesthetically pleasing (it matches the architecture of the rest of our house). O’Dell Contracting also repaired and replaced damaged paneling in our first-floor home office while doing an outstanding job of matching the existing wood stain. Other aspects of the repair project included drywall repair and replacement of carpeting and tile in two additional rooms which were also impacted. I recommend O’Dell Contracting Inc. without reservation! Dean O’Dell definitely takes an active interest in making sure that the repair job is done in a quality and timely manner."

"Chris and his team were absolutely incredible. I highly recommend him. Chris communicated with me frequently and guided me throughout the process of a significant bathroom remodel. When his team started work, they clearly worked hard and completed the job on time, even a little early. And what’s more, our new bathroom looks fantastic. I’m especially impressed with the tile work. A true craftsman, Chris clearly takes great pride in his work and it shows. He is hardworking, reliable, and trustworthy."

"Working with Noelle and team was a true pleasure! My wife and I purchased our starter home a couple years ago, and wanted to make an upgrade to the old kitchen. We optimized the space with Noelle's stellar design, and have made the space not only more livable - but enjoyable as well. Kitchen's are the heart of a home, and we are so glad to truly "make it ours" by having gone through a remodel with BKG. We highly recommend their service! They are professional, affordable and great quality!"

"This is the second time I've turned to Mark for help in getting a home loan. The reason I'm a repeat customer is that Mark is great. He always gets me the absolute best rate and is an honest, tell-it-like-it-is person - so very appreciated during the confusing and scary process of getting a mortgage.
I tend to run a little on the neurotic side, and Mark handled my constant badgering and near freak-outs with great finesse, providing just the right amount of hand-holding and straight-up advice. This time around, I bought my home through a private sale, meaning neither party used a realtor. So I needed even more attention and guidance. Mark not only did a great job with the mortgage, he also gave me invaluable advice on issues related to the sale but outside his scope, such as home inspection.
A big THANKS to Mark. I couldn't have done it without you and Judy!

FAQs for new home building projects in Pittsburgh, PA

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.
