"I recently hired Mike from Whiting Wood Works for furniture assembly, and TV wall mounting, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the service. Mike was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, courteous, and friendly throughout the entire process. One thing I really appreciate was how flexible he was with scheduling, he worked around my availability and showed up right on time, which made the whole experience stress-free. His attention to detail and craftsmanship were outstanding. Everything was assembled and mounted flawlessly and securely. It’s clear that Mike takes great pride in his work, and it truly shows in the quality of the results. I highly recommend Mike and Whiting Wood Works to anyone in need of top-notch service. You won’t be disappointed! 10 Stars."

"Uwe along with Dave and Caleb met our expectations and then some. They finished our large deck project sooner than I expected. They showed up everyday and left the area clean on a daily basis. There workmanship was awesome. They had great ideas and were willing to listen to our needs. They tied our new fiberon deck into the house and surrounding pool area. I would recommend Tall Timber Construction if you are looking for a great product at a fair price."

"They did an outstanding job. We had a closed in porch that needed refinished. Dan described what he thought would work and gave us a reasonable quote. The work was done quickly and as promised. They cleaned up after they were finished and moved our furniture back into the room. We love the way the room looks now."

"Essential Extras had already designed and installed a beautiful deck for us. They used Ipe wood and hidden fasteners as we had asked. The professionalism was amazing and so was the craftmanship. After a wind storm blew down a fence in our yard in the middle of winter I called them again and not only did they do a stellar job, but took great care to respect our neighbors and cleaned up our side and the neigbor's side of the fence as well. The craftmanship again was better than expected. I would recommend them to anyone and definitely hire them for any projects I might have involving wood. Bonnie Pearson"

"We had a complete master bath remodel, tearing down to studs. Mark was extremely helpful and attentive to details and helping us figure out what was possible and fit the space functionally and looked good. He kept us informed about progress and upcoming tasks. Super-helpful, good communication, and goes above and beyond to make sure the job is done right and the way you want. This is our second bathroom remodel, and he’s on our list for our next project too."

A treehouse stresses the tree, but proper design keeps that impact manageable. Start with a healthy species, use tree-attachment bolts instead of lag screws, and allow room for future growth. A qualified treehouse builder or arborist can assess load capacity, ensure safe fastening, and monitor the tree’s health after construction.
The time it takes to build a treehouse depends on its size and complexity, and whether you choose a prefab kit or a custom design. A straightforward child's prefab treehouse can be assembled in as little as two days to a week. More complex designs can take two to six weeks. Adding features like plumbing and electricity can add several days to the project timeline. Building a fully livable treehouse can take anywhere from several months to a year.
The best trees for constructing a treehouse are strong and healthy with a minimum diameter of 12 inches. Ideal choices include maple, oak, hemlock, and fir trees. If suitable trees aren't available, you can install additional support posts to reinforce the structure. Consulting with an arborist or local treehouse builder ensures your site is evaluated correctly and your treehouse is securely anchored.
A well-constructed treehouse can last anywhere from 10 to 25 years or more. The lifespan depends on the quality of the materials used and the extent to which they are maintained. Applying weatherproof treatments to the wood can help extend its lifespan. Keep in mind that treehouses in areas with harsh weather conditions may wear faster than those in milder climates.
Building a treehouse for year‑round living is entirely possible when you address both the technical challenges and the lifestyle benefits head‑on. This project requires a secure design that incorporates superior insulation, integrated plumbing, and robust electrical systems, while also creating a sustainable, minimalist, and eco-friendly retreat. To ensure comfort and safety, invest in enhanced structural supports and adhere to strict code-compliance measures. Professional consultation is essential to transform your treehouse into a secure, full-time living space that incorporates off-the-grid and environmentally conscious design.
Plumbing installation in a treehouse is challenging because it requires unique, engineered solutions for an off‑ground structure. This project requires custom-designed water distribution systems, reinforced connections, and specialized adjustments that exceed the standard requirements for home plumbing. In addition, implementing innovative solutions such as composting toilets, rainwater collection systems, and graywater sinks ensures safe operation, efficient drainage, and sustainable water usage. These measures, when combined with rigorous adherence to building codes, guarantee that your treehouse’s plumbing system operates securely and efficiently.
