Upclose to a join in a New Energy Works timber frame


Events + Raisings

Raisings usually draw a crowd and offer a chance to witness the culmination of months of painstaking effort. Because of the significance of the event to the client, wherever possible we’ll accommodate requests for raisings on specific dates. We were honored when Nan and Bill Horton chose us to build a replacement for their home that burned down and celebrated with them at their 4th of July raising and hog roast. As soon as the last peg was driven in John Haines’ timber frame barn, his son’s wedding party streamed in, the band struck up and the dancing began.

We’re very proud of what we do and would love to show you our work. Drop us a line or call for directions and times.
