Specialized framing services

At Timbers and Trowels Construction, we understand that the skeleton of a building dictates its longevity and performance. Our expertise spans three core areas of construction framing:

Residential Framing

We specialize in high-quality wood framing for custom homes and multi-family residences. Our team works closely with architects and developers to ensure that every wall, floor, and roof system is built to exact specifications, providing a perfectly level and plumb foundation for the finishing trades that follow.

Commercial Framing

Our commercial division handles large-scale structural projects that require rigorous adherence to safety standards and engineering requirements. From light-gauge steel to heavy-duty wood structures, we provide the efficiency and scale necessary to keep commercial developments on schedule and within budget.

Timber Framing

For clients seeking an aesthetic that blends strength with natural beauty, our timber framing services offer traditional mortise-and-tenon joinery. This craft-heavy approach creates stunning open spaces with exposed beams, perfect for luxury lodges, custom estates, and unique commercial interiors.

Concrete Work

As the crucial starting point for any lasting structure, our concrete services ensure a robust foundation. We manage all aspects of concrete placement, including foundations, slabs, retaining walls, and decorative concrete for residential and commercial projects. Our team focuses on precise mix design and proper curing techniques to deliver strength and durability that withstands the challenging climate of Western South Dakota.

Project Management

Our comprehensive project management services streamline your build from initial concept to completion. Leveraging our expertise in the industry, we coordinate all trades, maintain strict adherence to timelines and budgets, and ensure clear, proactive communication across all stakeholders. This service is designed to mitigate complexity and deliver your project with maximum efficiency and reliability.

Decking

We construct custom decks for residential and commercial properties, offering a range of material options from pressure-treated lumber and cedar to low-maintenance composite materials. Our services include multi-level design, railing systems, and structural enhancements, ensuring your outdoor space is both beautiful and built to withstand the Black Hills seasons.
