Right now, Rebecca and I don't know how to describe our entire experience working with HCTF....but we will.....From the moment we wandered into your shop almost a year ago until now, it has been an absolute pleasure on a personal level and a thoroughly satisfying experience on a professional level...it occurs to us that we can recognize that gratitude in the form of a letter to a local/industry business organization. Let us know. We're not doing HCTF any favors here; its rightfully earned.
The Bermudez's

The crew at High Country Timberframe & Gallery Woodworking Co is a talented, experienced and creative group. My husband and I used this company to build our timber frame horse barn a few years ago. Having seen their work previously, they were our first choice of builders, and we were not disappointed. From working on the original design of the barn to completing the project, this company proved to be responsive and timely, and they always kept up a good line of communication. Their skills are top-notch, and we could not be more pleased with the final outcome. And, it's horse-approved!
The Millers
