On-Site Services

For those who might be seeking to build their home themselves “physically,” you may be interested in certain aspects of a system that I consider to be more in the line of Vernacular Architecture. (The term Vernacular Architecture refers to local building styles that are built using local labor and materials; these styles are directly influenced by regional culture, conditions, and climate.)

I have been in the Rutherfordton area for the last eight years, and have been primarily involved with a building system affectionately referred to as Marion Stone Post and Beam. This system calls for:

On-site cutting, notching and fabrication of all materials
Tongue and Groove roofing with insulation panel systems
Tongue and Groove wall panel with insulation panel systems
Integrated steel bracing

I am available for the services involved in the aforementioned system as well as assistance with:

Layout
Post N Beam assembly
Site organization and management
Interior framing and wall applications
Exterior siding

In addition to the above, I have been involved in some projects which I refer to as exotic such as:

16’ x 118’ 2 –story Oriental-influenced post and beam built on Pinnacle Mountain
200 year old chestnut horse barn re-cut to build custom log home with on-site hand hewed 40’oak trees to build second story

Western cedar hay barn remodeled to create a bed and breakfast currently available on-line at www.rockybottomcabin.com
As well as additional years of conventional framing, and an extensive background in custom marble and tile design, lay-out, fabrication and installation.

Available by the day, week, or particular phase of your project. If you are interested in my services, please contact me and we can assess your situation.
