The focus on over 100 projects thus far at Timberwolf has been to turn exquisite ideas into knockout homes, focusing both on the practicality and visual power of the larger structure and the quality finish for which Timberwolf is renowned.
James got his Nevada license in 2003 in order to provide construction services to Tahoe's entire north shore. The Nevada name is T Wolf Construction. T Wolf has been very active in Incline Village these past few years.
The past year's projects undertaken and completed have included two complete house remodels (one with a major addition), two decks out of sustainably harvested, long lasting ipe and Brazilian redwood, a kitchen and pantry addition and remodel in Lahonton, an insurance remodel in Brockway Springs from rain damage, and a kitchen/dining room remodel in Incline Village.
Smaller projects are considered if unique and challenging. Recent furniture and cabinetry include a maple dining room table; an antiqued pine desk, dresser and armoire; several cherry and oak entertainment centers; a beech and ash built-in Japanese-style dresser; and a maple kitchen peninsula and an island of cherry.
