A house should be more than a stoic structure against the wind; when it's your home, it should be your castle. Castles are not built in a day and they are not built by someone who does not understand you and your needs. At Alpine Timbers, your home starts with you, and we start by creating a relationship with you and your future home.

We are not afraid to get our hands dirty, milling about in the process with you. We seek to bring to life the architect's rendition of your dream, taking lines on paper and producing views of the horizon, warm spaces on a winter night, and bright interiors in which to discover yourself. Alpine Timbers has seen the fads and fashions, weathered the storms and tides in the Fraser Valley to emerge as an experienced builder who not only knows the Valley, but has invested in the community in order to make it the right place for you to make your home.

Success is not born, it is grown from experience, patience, and a true desire to create a quality product. Nowhere is that more clear than in building a house, where anyone can swing a hammer, but only a caring craftsman can bring "your" house to life. Our philosophy at Alpine Timbers is steeped in the client, creating the right home for the lifestyle, needs, future, and values of the owner. Sometimes that comes in the form of using the experience at Alpine Timbers to see potential problems before they arise, and at other times it's in the careful suggestions made to the property owner about how to ease a transition between two parts of a structure. We want to build you what you would build - if you had the time and knowledge - and add to that vision what we can in light our extensive experience building at 9,000 feet.


Alpine Timbers is not about volume over quality. Our experience has shown that a builder who overbooks also cuts corners and loses sight of the owner's dream. We take on a limited project list to enable us to dedicate the required time to make you happy. We manage our jobs the way you would expect them to be: balancing time and productivity, remaining available for the level of involvement you want us to have. The construction site is an extension of the architect's drawing table, including you and your architect in a collaboration that will match your structural plans with the impacts of weather, climate, and whatever the future may hold for you in your home. We know what it takes to build a quality product, what to look out for in design and function, and how to create you a shelter from more than just the storm. We take pride in our work, and do our job well so the owner does not have to.


It takes a Colorado native to build in the high-country; and it takes a man bred on alpine vistas and sagebrush sunsets to appreciate the dream building a home in the Rocky Mountains. Bob has known Grand County and the Colorado Rockies since his earliest days, and building has been in his blood all along. Bob's father left an indelible mark in the Fraser Valley's boom days of the 50’s and 60’s, developing Alpine Timbers and Ice Box Estates, even leaving a legacy as the namesake for Wolf Park in Winter Park. From early exploits as a boy at his father's side constructing one of the Fraser Valley's many 50's-era sylvan-set forest cabins, to lending a hand in the construction of Grand County's general highway system, Bob and his family have been a rich part of the Valley's heritage, as well as what its future holds.

"Family" has always been a part of Bob's Fraser, both in how he came to love this neck of the woods and the nature of the magic in this community tucked in against the Continental Divide – and he is dedicated to retaining that atmosphere. When he is not building, Bob has found time over the last 31 years to hold one of the longest runs on the Winter Park Ski Patrol (if you can't build much in the snow, you might as well be playing in it)! Bob knows more than swinging hammers and waxing skis though; he has dedicated his time to local governance as well, 14 years in fact on as President of the local water and sanitation district, as well as sitting on the Winter Park Town Council. Bob has seen many changes in the Fraser Valley, but that delight of living in the high country that won his soul as a boy still pulses in his veins, and you'll never be able to get the Valley out of Bob.
