ABOUT OUR TEAM
Our aim is for our work to tell our story for generations.
Our Mission
The structures on which we focus were built by hand and meant to last. It is with this same attitude that we conduct our business.
We hold ourselves and our work to the highest standards and are committed to exceeding the expectations of our clients.
The age of the village carpenter has passed, but it is not forgotten. Harper Elm is here to step into that role, whether it’s raising a new frame, repairing an old one, or simply rehabilitating a structure to meet the needs of its occupant.
Our Inspiration
The Shakers perceived beauty as something that originates from the object’s usefulness. In this era of agricultural consolidation, the need for barns has passed for many property owners.
Our purpose is to work with clients to tailor a vision for turning these burdens into something beautiful and useable again, and making sure that vision becomes reality.
A home should be just that, a refuge, a place of comfort and reflection. A home is where we spend the majority of our lives, and Harper ELM is here to craft that space into a place worthy of being called, “home.”
