Kitchens, bathrooms, decks, and additions — Timber & True has been building for Chester County families for 22 years. Owner-led by Sam Gruber, a carpenter first and a contractor second.
From urgent repairs to full projects, Timber & True Builders handles it all with 22+ years of hands-on expertise across Chester County.
The kitchen is the hardest room in the house to get right — and the most rewarding. We handle design, demo, trades coordination, and finish carpentry under one roof.
Learn More → 🛁From tired hall baths to full primary-suite builds, we deliver bathrooms that are waterproofed right, tiled straight, and finished to last.
Learn More → 🌳A deck is a structure first and a living space second. Ours are framed like they have to hold your family for thirty years — because they do.
Learn More → 🏠Turn the unused floor of your house into the favorite one. We handle moisture control first, then framing, systems, and finishes that feel like upstairs.
Learn More → 📐The details are the difference. Built-ins, wainscoting, coffered ceilings, and trim work executed by hands that have done it for two decades.
Learn More → 🧱More house without moving. We design and build additions that match your home so well the neighbors can't tell where old ends and new begins.
Learn More →Timber & True Builders is led by Sam Gruber, a second-generation carpenter with 22 years on the tools. Sam is on your job — not managing it from a truck, but cutting, framing, and finishing alongside a small crew he's worked with for years.
We take fewer jobs so we can do each one properly. Straight schedules, itemized proposals, a clean site every night, and finish work you'll still be proud of in twenty years. That's the whole business model.
“We interviewed five contractors for our addition. Sam was the only one who found the structural issue in our existing framing before quoting. That's who you want building your house.”

Yes — free estimates on all projects. Larger projects get an itemized written proposal so you can see exactly where every dollar goes.
Fully licensed (PA HIC registered) and insured, including liability and workers' comp. We're happy to send certificates before work begins.
Yes, we pull all required permits and schedule inspections ourselves. If a contractor asks you to pull the permit as the homeowner, that's a red flag — it usually means they can't.
A deposit secures your spot on the schedule, with progress payments tied to completed milestones — never large sums up front for work not yet done. It's all spelled out in the contract.
We give you a real schedule before we start, not a guess. Typical ranges: bathrooms 2–4 weeks, kitchens 5–8 weeks, additions 3–5 months. Because we take fewer jobs at once, our schedules hold.
