TIMBERWOLF CONSTRUCTION
 
 

Timberwolf Construction was started in 1992 by James Wolford. For 15 years prior to 1992, James worked mainly as a finish carpenter on high-end custom houses at Lake Tahoe as well as in the Oakland Hills Fire Area.

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 3 years' projects have included one teardown in Tahoe City - a new house replacing a 60-year old cabin underneath some huge boulders and old-growth sugar pines on the Tahoe Rim Trail; 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.

   
     
       
 
JAMES WOLFORD & FAMILY
     
 

James' focus as a young man was enjoying the breathtaking beauty of the Sierra Nevada. Hiking all over the Western United States, going to forestry school at UC Berkeley, working for the Forest Service in Idaho and Colorado, and living outside of Aspen and Quincy were preludes to settling next to the shores of the lake.

James and Kristen have been living in Tahoe City for 31 years, raising two fine young men, Will and Galen. Great live music, hiking and camping the Sierra, the waterfalls of Yosemite, and the beaches of Maui are long-time loves for all.
