CUSTOM DESIGN SERVICES

At MoreSun we really enjoy the design phase of every project.  From a complete home to a fine set of cabinets, working with each client during this process is thought provoking and exciting. This phase is where your dreams are put on paper so construction can begin.

Over the years we have really tried to meet the needs of our clients by creating a team of designers, architects and engineers to work with and consult with for each new project.  By teaming up and using them as consultants, we can draw from a pool of information and experience to provide you with the best possible solution for your project. 

Whether you need a set of trusses for a small cabin or a full timber frame home, MoreSun will help you to discover the best solutions for your project.

Utilizing the latest in computer design technologies, including 3-D modeling, MoreSun can let you see your new timber frame or piece of furniture before you make the investment.
