Homes Built the Right Way
A home should feel solid the moment you walk in — calm, grounded, and built to last. That doesn't happen by accident. It comes from disciplined planning, precise execution, and craftsmanship that doesn't cut corners. That's the work we do. If you're ready to begin, we're ready to build.
Start Your Project
Custom Homes
We design and build custom homes with a level of control that's rare in this industry. Because our team self-performs key phases — from site-work to millwork — your home is built with consistency, precision, and accountability at every step.

Renovation
A renovation should make your home work better — not just look better. We focus on improving structure, flow, and function while elevating the overall quality of the space. The result: a home that feels more comfortable and refined.

Design/Build
Good design removes uncertainty. Our in-house team gives you clear drawings, smart solutions, and a complete plan before construction begins — so every choice supports your budget, timeline, and long-term goals.

The Timber
Difference
Most builders subcontract the work that matters most. We don't. From site preparation through framing, finishes, and custom millwork, our team handles every critical phase in-house — one accountable crew, one point of contact, and a finished home that reflects exactly what was agreed from the start.
Jeff Wiegmann and Chris Rall founded Timber on a principle that has shaped every project since: integration isn't just efficient — it's what makes craftsmanship possible. When the same people who design a kitchen also build and install the cabinetry in our own CNC-equipped millwork shop, the work is simply better. There's no handoff where precision gets lost.

Our design-build approach unites architecture, construction, and interior design into one coherent process. No gaps between teams. No budget surprises from incomplete drawings.

In-House Production
Millwork Division
Every cabinet in a Timber project is built in our own shop at 168 Mt. Zion Road in Marlboro — designed for the specific room, cut on an industrial CNC router, and installed by the same team that built it. The result is cabinetry that fits the room because it was made for it.
- — Custom kitchen cabinetry to exact room dimensions
- — Bathroom vanities and built-in storage
- — Library walls, media systems, mudroom systems
- — Cabinet fabrication supply for other Hudson Valley contractors

Marlboro, NY
Homes created to last — and to be lived in.
Jeff Wiegmann and Chris Rall started Timber with a conviction that building homes is not just about structure — it's about creating spaces that reflect how people actually live. That conviction drives everything: why we self-perform the critical work, why we build cabinetry in our own shop, and why we don't start construction until the design is right.
Based at 168 Mt. Zion Road in Marlboro, we serve homeowners across the Hudson Valley — from New Paltz and Kingston through Rhinebeck and Beacon, down to Warwick and Cornwall in Orange County. Most of our active projects are within a 45-minute drive of the shop.
We maintain full New York State licensing and insurance.

How We Work
A process built for precision, not speed.
Every Timber project follows a deliberate four-phase sequence — one that prevents the surprises, scope changes, and miscommunications that make construction projects difficult. The goal isn't the fastest timeline; it's the right outcome. This is how Jeff and Chris have run projects from the beginning, and it's why our clients rate us 5.0 stars.
01
Preconstruction
Before a drawing is final or a permit filed, we align on scope, budget, and schedule. This phase prevents the surprises that define bad projects.
02
Design
Architecture, interior selections, and millwork design developed in-house using Chief Architect 3D renderings. One team. No handoffs. Design and build share the same accountability.
03
Construction
Site work, framing, and finishes self-performed by our crew. We don't subcontract what we can control ourselves — because control is how precision happens.
04
Completion
Punch list, walkthrough, and handover. We stay involved until the project is exactly what was agreed at the beginning — not approximately.
From Our Clients
5.0 stars across
42 Google reviews.
We believe actions speak louder than words. Every project is a long-term relationship — and we take that responsibility seriously. Here's what homeowners across the Hudson Valley have said about working with our team.
★★★★★The kitchen is exactly what I wanted — and I didn't know what I wanted until Jeff and Chris helped me see it. The millwork is extraordinary.
★★★★★From preconstruction through the final punch list, there was one team responsible for everything. No confusion, no finger-pointing. Just a house that came out right.
★★★★★The most important thing they did was tell me what the project would actually cost before we started. That honesty changed how I felt about the whole process.
