Testimonials: Our clients say...
I recently had the pleasure of working with Richard Cormier of Wise
Owl Joinery, in fabrication of a post
and beam gazebo. I found Richard
to be very helpful and cooperative both in the planning and construction
of the structure. The project was completed on time and on budget,
with no surprises what so ever.
I would recommend Richard for any post and beam project whether it be small or large. His knowledge and mastery of the art of post and beam construction insures the quality of the finished product.

We have used Wise Owl Joinery Company in the construction of a timber
frame in part of our new establishment,
Fox Hill Cheese House. Prior
to beginning the timber frame construction, Mr. Cormier was very informative,
knowledgeable and helpful with many suggestions and ideas. The timber
frame itself is of high quality with all joints done to perfection.
Mr. Cormier also did some
hand carving which we are very pleased with.
We feel that Mr. Cormier is a professional craftsman that takes pride
in his work which shows in his integrity.
In our opinion, we would recommend Wise Owl Joinery Company/ Richard Cormier as a master timber frame craftsman to anyone who appreciates post and beam and timber frame type of construction. It has been a very positive and rewarding experience for us to work with Mr. Richard Cormier.
