Every project is different, but our approach stays the same. Clear communication, precise execution, and respect for the people we work with. These testimonials come from homeowners, architects, and builders who partnered with Woodpecker Timber Framing on residential and commercial timber projects across the Bow Valley.

We recently engaged Woodpecker to build the timber framing for our passively designed house in Canmore and it turned out beautifully. Peter and his team offered expertise from the early planning stages through installation and worked collaboratively with our architect and engineer to meet our highly customized requirements. Stefan and the install crew are perfectionists and were a pleasure to work with and learn from. We have received many compliments on the CLT and Glulam timber design and workmanship from both subsequent trades working on our house and people passing by.
