"Joe Wey and his talented team at Old Line Timber Frames built our wonderfully distinctive home on the shore of the Chesapeake Bay in rural Kent County, Maryland. Building this 4300 sq. ft. architect-designed house was a complex project, requiring an understanding of the most up-to-date and efficient building techniques combined with the knowledge and skills of historical timber framing. Precise, continuous and open communication with the architect, the carpenters, subcontractors and others involved in the building process was critical to the success of the project. Joe’s performance in these areas was consistently superb, proving his skills as both a master builder and craftsman.

The timber frame part of the house, a 19’ x 43’ great room, was built with posts and beams handcrafted in the Old Line workshop. Each component was joined with glove like precision and pegged together on site. The beauty of the wood, the joinery, the network of beams, rafters and braces, are all evidence of Old Line’s woodworking craftsmanship.

Working with Joe was as much a pleasure as watching the daily progress on the house. His kindness, integrity, professional responsiveness to our wants and needs, and unflagging sense of humor made for a confident and most enjoyable experience. We recommend him to anyone wanting an outstanding and memorable building experience."
