We're delighted with the level of service provided by Mr. Bird.

"I am thrilled for the privilege of writing a review celebrating Chris Bird and Re-House Timber Frames. Chris is currently completing the third gorgeous timber frame for my vacation property in Nova Scotia, Canada. I sincerely hope that there will be a fourth! The fact that I work with Chris year after year is the highest form of praise and recommendation that I can offer. My only hesitation in promoting his awesome art and utter integrity is that I selfishly want him building more with and for me! Though Chris eats, sleeps, and breathes timber framing, he genuinely cares that the client feels involved in the creative process. He always makes me feel like a respected partner from basic design to the glorious raising. I simply cannot say enough in praise of the actual product. The frame that Chris cuts will be from beautiful hand-selected timbers. The cuts will be absolutely precise. The joinery will be perfect. Amazingly, Chris is committed to keeping his expenses to a minimum so that he can offer these "frames of art" for a remarkably reasonable price. Re-House Timber Frames will build you the very best frame for less. Choose wisely to be among the fortunate few that enjoy the timeless beauty and simplicity of the inspired artistry of Chris Bird and Re-House Timber Frames."

"Working with Chris Bird on the design and construction of our home has been the most positive and memorable experience we could have hoped for. Chris shared our vision from the beginning, collaborating on the design, answering our many questions and sharing in the excitement of the project. Chris showed amazing dedication and passion throughout a long and challenging process. Thanks to Chris and his incredible timber framing skills, our home is a piece of art. It was truly a joy to work with Chris and to have him as our guest during the raising of the frame.
I can't count the number of times we have been thankful that we got to work with Chris on our house. It was such a fantastic experience - one we will never forget.
We would highly recommend Chris to anyone - especially those seeking beautiful, elegant and timeless post and beam frames."

"Chris Bird is one of those true gentlemen craftsmen you hope you could find locally, after reading of people like him in Harrowsmith, Yankee Magazine or This Old House. Expert, but not snobbish, gentle in his correction of the customer who demands what may be the impossible. Chris took our ideas and brought them to realization in a beautiful hemlock timber frame that will be like living with a favourite piece of furniture, to be handed down to successive family for generations to come. My wife Lynn and I are so pleased with the result, we don’t really want to cover one timber or beam with interior fitments! Exquisite workmanship is what Chris offers at a reasonable price and he delivers on time, on budget. I highly recommend him for your timber frame project, large or small."

"A big THANK YOU to Chris Bird for the fabulous work. The timber frame looks wonderful! We've received many positive comments from everyone who has visited. I'd definitely use Chris Bird again for another building project. The quality of wood was outstanding and the joints were extremely well cut. The Chris Bird raising team did an excellent job and completed the project in a very short time. Thanks again!"

“Any building project can offer challenges. From the moment we first discussed the idea of our barn with Chris, through the design, manufacturing, and finally its erection, we were very impressed with his attention to detail, superior craftsmanship, and organizational skills. He is truly a renaissance man. Most highly recommended.”
