Built With Precision and Crafted to Last

You need timber work that holds up to the weight it carries and looks like it belongs in your home. In Grants Pass, Medford and beyond, the weather shifts quickly and structures are exposed to rain and sun year-round, the wood used and how it's joined determines whether your feature lasts five years or fifty. Wells Family Construction LLC builds custom timber structures using structural-grade materials and joinery that resists movement, moisture, and settling over time.

Each project starts with a custom design that fits your layout and load requirements. Traditional joinery methods like mortise and tenon connections are combined with modern structural techniques to create timber frames, posts, beams, and built-in features that are both functional and visually distinct. The timber is selected for strength and grain, then cut and assembled on-site with attention to how each joint bears weight and meets the next piece. Finishing options range from natural oil treatments to protective stains that preserve the wood without covering its character.

If you're planning a timber project in Grants Pass, Medford and beyond and want to discuss materials, layout, or design options, reach out to schedule a consultation.

Your project begins with selecting timber that matches the structural demand and visual style you're after. In Gold Hill, the crew evaluates site conditions, span distances, and load points before choosing beam sizes and wood species. Structural-grade Douglas fir and cedar are commonly used for their strength-to-weight ratio and natural resistance to decay. Each piece is inspected for knots, splits, and grain direction before cutting begins.

Once the timber is on-site, joinery is laid out using hand tools and precision measuring to ensure tight connections. Mortise and tenon joints are cut to lock beams together without relying solely on fasteners. You'll notice the difference in how solid the frame feels once it's assembled—joints don't shift or creak because they were fit correctly from the start. Exposed beams are sanded smooth and finished to highlight the wood grain while sealing out moisture.

Installation includes anchoring the structure to existing framing or foundation points using galvanized hardware rated for outdoor use. Final finishes are applied after assembly to protect all surfaces, including end grain. The work does not include electrical, plumbing, or interior finish carpentry unless specified in the project scope.
