Our Story and Values
Timbers and Trowels is a true family business. As parents to three children and two foster children, we understand the importance of a home that is safe, beautiful, and functional. Our family-first philosophy extends to how we treat our clients; with honesty, respect, and a dedication to quality that we would expect for our own household.
When we aren’t on a job site or in the office, you can find us leaning into our shared love for the outdoors. Whether we are camping, gardening, working on our own home, or simply enjoying time together as a family of seven, we are constantly inspired by the landscape around us.
Based in Rapid City, we are honored to serve our community by building structures that stand the test of time.
