"Sergio and his team were great. They were timely and professional. Not to mention clean. At the end of each workday, they cleaned everything up and left it just as they found it. You would have never known there was a reno project taking place. I would definitely recommend these guys for your next project."

"Joe was amazing to work with from start to finish. We had a complicated and logistically challenging dream project, but Joe handled it brilliantly. He and his teams were highly skilled, reliable, and friendly. Joe communicated proactively with us, so we always felt cared for and clear on the next steps. Even when there were the inevitable obstacles, Joe helped us problem solve and find solutions that were even better than our original plan. We are now living in our dream home and recommend Prime Time Custom Homes highly."

"DHIM Construction is an excellent choice for renovations and construction. I hired them to gut and renovate my medium sized kitchen, from scraping the popcorn ceiling to removing and relaying flooring. Oscar and Brandon were knowledgeable, professional, and very easy to work with. They communicated exceptionally well, and moved the job along, managing everything from demolition to the cabinet source to the granite countertops to electrical and plumbing to the final finish work. The work went quickly and they inspected the progress every step of the way. Their price was reasonable and the work top-notch. I highly recommend DHIM Construction! They are a pleasure to work with."

"The quality of the work was excellent. The old boards were installed on the diagonal so the cuts on the new boards had to be precisely made. The reason I downgraded the review was that a patio table had to be moved to the side of the deck but when we arrived home we found that it had not been returned in its original position. That's not a big deal, but shows a lack of attention to detail. What bothered us more was that an empty pack of cigarettes was left in the driveway and several cigarette butts were found in the yard and on the driveway. That shows disrespect for the homeowner's property."

"The actual roofing job in 2014 went fine. We were pleased with the initial work and the price. However, the company’s follow up is sorely lacking. They responded when we had a concern about some of the new roofing within a couple of weeks. Our second issue it took much longer to get a response from them. Now in 2019, we have been trying to get them to come and check out our roof for hail damage. We can’t get anyone to call us. Just some texts and passing off of responsibility. Their customer service is poor."

FAQs for new home building projects in Winston Salem, NC

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.
