We are a small family owned company that believes in building structures and products that last generations. We specialize in timber framing which has been around for thousands of years using joinery and wood fastners, instead of screws and nails. This includes- barns, sheds, cabins, gazebos, houses, etc. Our process starts with gathering as much information to understand the project goal. Next, we will provide a 3D project plan so you can see the process come to life. The final step will be when building starts, updates pictures and timeless will be offered during this process. We also offer specialized stairways, (including spirals), decks, additions, porches and built in furniture.
"I can’t say enough great things about Dusty and the incredible work he did building our small timber framed shed. From start to finish, the entire process was smooth and professional. Dusty took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and offered helpful suggestions that enhanced the overall design. The craftsmanship is top-notch – the structure is sturdy, beautifully built, and perfectly suited to our space. Not only was the work completed on time, but he also maintained a clean and organized work area throughout the project. If you’re looking for someone reliable, skilled, and easy to work with, I highly recommend Dusty/Traditions Timber Frames. We couldn’t be happier with the final result!"

"He was supposed to start on November 9 called off and did show up on November 10 to install the thermostat that I provided. He worked on it for couple hours and then told me that the thermostat was faulty. He told me to return it and he would buy one and return the next day. After he left, I noticed one of the prongs were bent and I straightened it out and the thermostat worked and the heater kicked on. He still maintained that it was faulty, so I did return it and he came back with one exactly like it the next day. I reimbursed him for that. Again, he worked on it for a couple hours and the same issue that we’ve had from the beginning of the fan not turning off remained. He told me that there is no way it’s wired wrong so it has to be in the unit asked for payment which I gave him $125 in cash. I might add that he used my tools which I found quite odd. I ended up having to call out another contractor because he told me it had to be the unit. Cliffs informed me that there was absolutely nothing wrong with the unit and he even referred to it as “Cherry“ He checked everything out and then asked me about the thermostat and I said it was brand new and installed through Angi. He took the cover off and in a split second said I see exactly what the problem is. It’s c wired wrong. (THIS WOULD MEAN THL WIRED IT WRONG TWICE) He pointed out the green wire should not be connected at all. That is what is making the fan run continuously. He disconnected the wire and it worked perfectly. This cost me $218.00 for the service call/tune up."

"I Needed to setup a drill press in my basement. I recently had back surgery and wasn't able to do it myself. So I went online to Angie aka Angie's List. Bowen Construction reached out immediately and offered a great price. So it was a no Brainer to choose Bowen Construction. When Rick Bowen showed up, he easily assembled drill press and made adjustments to get it running smoothly. Thanks to Rick’s attention to detail, right before leaving he was studying the picture he took of drill press and noticed that it wasn't level. So he came back and fixed it. I love my new drill press. I would recommend Bowen Construction to anyone who needs a handyman. Thank you."

"If I could give zero stars I would! Russ claimed they’ve done concrete countertops before and we were careful to select a company that had done them since they’re pretty difficult. We have huge concrete cracks that he refuses to rectify saying it’s something WE did to cause! He was a major bully over text exchanges with my husband and I, and his team did a sloppy job with our backslash. 0/10 do not recommend Russ."

Yes, a properly constructed gazebo increases your home’s value by creating an attractive and functional outdoor space. A sturdy, well-maintained gazebo elevates property appeal and enhances marketability by adding dedicated entertaining and relaxation areas. High-quality materials and expert craftsmanship directly boost curb appeal and ensure a strong return on investment.
Gazebos are stand-alone structures with a roof and floor, and many include additional amenities like electricity and full kitchens. Pergolas, on the other hand, typically attach to other structures or parts of the home. This allows pergolas to get by with minimal flooring and simple roofs made up of rafters.
In certain parts of the country, a permit is required to build a gazebo on your property, though this primarily depends on the size. For instance, smaller gazebos may not require permits, but structures larger than 10-by-10 feet will require building permits. Each municipality differs in this regard, so contact your local regulatory agency for more information.
A concrete slab provides a critical, secure foundation for your gazebo. A strong concrete base ensures long-lasting stability and enhances structural integrity, helping the gazebo withstand severe weather and support heavy roofing. A dependable concrete foundation minimizes safety risks and fortifies the overall construction of your gazebo, protecting your investment.
Hiring a professional to install your gazebo ensures a secure and durable structure. Professional gazebo installers bring specialized expertise, precise adherence to building codes, and the necessary tools and equipment to complete complex assembly tasks safely. Their skilled workmanship minimizes risks and guarantees a robust construction that outperforms a DIY approach.
