here to send an email to one of our home building professionals.
Q:
Do you build homes over basements or as a two-story design?
A: Yes. The Timberland system works well for two-story homes. On-site,
we use a crane to lift the upper floor into place. We have been doing
this since 1973, so we've had lots of practice.
Q:
How long does it take to complete a Timberland Home?
A: In most cases, you can move into your new Timberland home ninety days
from the time the home is started at our Auburn Construction Center. Our
biggest time savings comes from being able to do both the site and foundation
work while the home is being constructed. This shaves two or more months
off the time it takes for conventional construction techniques. Here's
a link to a sample construction timeline.
Q:
Do you have land available?
A: We don't sell land. We specialize in building homes for people who
already have their lot.
Q:
Are your homes backed by any kind of warranty?
A: We offer the best warranty in the business a 15-year limited
structural warranty. We have built over 2300 homes and have earned an
excellent reputation for standing behind our product.
Q:
Can I finance one of your homes?
A: Yes, our homes qualify for all the same great programs that a site-built
home does! We even have a list of recommended lenders familiar with our
contract terms, who can make this aspect of building a new home very easy
to accomplish.
Q:
I've never done something like this before. How do I get the necessary
permits?
A: Timberland Homes provides all the "home" permits through
the State of Washington and provides engineered drawings for the foundation,
which are needed to secure your site permit. We can guide you through
the process in your local jurisdiction.
Q:
Can I customize my home or add upgrades?
A: Yes, we go out of our way to get you exactly the home you want. The
process starts with our plans and our Display Village, where we can exchange
ideas and choose the features, finishes and fixtures that are just right
for you.
Q:
In what areas do you deliver and complete your homes?
A: We operate throughout Washington, southeast Alaska, northern Idaho,
and northern Oregon.
Q:
Can I save money buying a Timberland Home?
A: Because our homes are built at our Auburn Construction Center, you
receive the benefits of the economy of scale and proven relationships
with suppliers and subcontractors. We also give you a guaranteed price,
once we have agreed on a plan. We think you will find our homes to be
highly competitive cost-wise, as well as saving you time and stress.
Q:
Will a Timberland Home appreciate like a site-built home?
A: Our homes appreciate as other site-built homes in the neighborhood.
This provides our customers with an excellent building alternative and
results in similar appreciation in value over the years.
Q:
Where can I see some finished homes?
A: We have Display Villages in Auburn, just south of Seattle and in Mount
Vernon. You'll find several beautiful display homes that are open seven days
a week. Click here for maps, directions
and phone numbers.
