Framing in Teton Valley—including Tetonia, Victor, Driggs, and Alta, WY—is a different beast. At over 6,200 feet elevation with wide exposure to wind and weather, this isn’t the kind of place where you want to cut corners—or trust a crew without mountain experience. This is where Timberhouse Construction shines.

Elevation Matters

Framing at altitude changes everything. Materials behave differently. Moisture content shifts faster. Wind loading can turn into real structural pressure. You don’t just need a good crew—you need a team that’s framed through storms, through shoulder season, through high-desert freeze-thaw cycles.

We’ve done that for years.

Our team frames with snow load in mind, and we work with local engineers to make sure every truss, ridge beam, and post is dialed for the conditions—not just code minimums. We’re not guessing. We’ve lived it.

Complex Rooflines, No Problem

Tetonia builds tend to feature modern mountain designs: tall pitches, intersecting gables, open spans, and clerestory windows. Beautiful? Yes. Simple? Not even close.

Max and the Timberhouse crew bring a layout-first mindset. We understand how structure, flow, and geometry all play together—because we’ve stood on the plates, not just stared at the plans. Our team doesn’t just follow framing layouts. We flag issues before they become problems and coordinate directly with architects and engineers to make it right.

Rural Location, Real Logistics

Let’s be honest: building in Tetonia means longer hauls, tighter schedules, and fewer backups. If your crew isn’t organized, you’re burning time and money every day.

We run a lean, experienced team that shows up ready. We don’t wait on last-minute hardware or forget layout. We keep timelines tight because we’ve built where there’s no margin for error.

Experience You Can See in the Work

Framing is one of those trades where you can see the difference. If you’ve ever walked a site with bad layout, bowing walls, or plates off by an inch, you know how costly it gets down the line.

Timberhouse is known for clean framing. Tight cuts. Square corners. Smart layout. When our crew wraps a job, every sub who walks in after us says the same thing: “this is how it’s supposed to look.”

Framing Is the Backbone of a Build

A home’s finish work gets all the glory—but the bones are what make or break it. Framing isn’t just about putting up walls. It’s about setting the foundation for every trade that follows: electricians, plumbers, insulation crews, drywallers, trim carpenters. If the framing is off, every step after becomes a fight.

That’s why we treat layout like gospel. We measure twice, build clean, and think ahead. The result? Subs move faster, the build flows smoother, and the final product speaks for itself.

Work With Pros Who Know This Region

We’ve seen what happens when someone hires a remote architect or a Fiverr engineer who doesn’t know what snow even looks like. Beautiful designs fall apart when they don’t account for actual conditions—like 90+ PSF snow loads, wind shear, or footing frost depths that shift year to year.

We work best when we’re looped in early. That way, we can collaborate with local engineers and architects who understand the climate, the code, and the terrain. We’re not here to over-engineer or upcharge—we just want to build a structure that lasts.
