Your project in the canton of Aargau
Lying between Zurich and Basel, Aargau is crossed by the Aare, the Reuss and the Limmat, with the Rhine forming its northern edge. Its small historic towns include Aarau, known for its painted eaves, Baden with its old town above the Limmat, as well as Lenzburg and Zofingen. Around these centres, many residential districts of detached houses, rental blocks and newer estates have grown up, particularly in the Freiamt and along the main transport routes. The canton is German-speaking, but you are welcome to write your request in English. In the old town centres, work on façades or roofs may be subject to rules, so check with your municipality before setting a schedule. Give the municipality, postcode and building access, especially for work in the old centres of Aarau or Baden.
- For a village house along the Aare or the Reuss, mention whether the cellar has ever had damp problems.
- In an old town such as Baden or Aarau, explain how easily a works vehicle can reach the building.
- If you live in a recent condominium building, state whether the other co-owners have already given their agreement.
Carpentry and roof structure work in the canton of Aargau
In Aargau, the old farmhouses of the Aargau Jura and the Fricktal have vast timber lofts where purlins and rafters have sometimes suffered from leaks. In Aarau, the old town with its wide painted eaves calls for a carpenter used to traditional joints and discreet reinforcement. Around Baden, many detached houses from the sixties are being raised with a timber-frame storey to gain a room without using more land. Barns converted into homes are also common, and the size of the beams must then be checked before adding heavy insulation. If the roof is visible from the street, ask your municipality about the rules for the area.
- Before converting a barn in Aargau, have the main beams probed to locate any areas attacked by wood-boring insects.
- For a storey addition near Baden, have it calculated whether the load-bearing walls can take the weight of the new frame.

Frequently asked questions
What should I prepare for a roof structure project in Aargau?
Gather the plans of the building, photos of the existing roof and any engineer's or architect's reports. Describe the project clearly, whether it is a repair, an extension or a new structure. The carpenter will then check the load-bearing elements and propose suitable timber and assembly methods.
When does a timber project need structural assessment?
A new opening, added storey, altered roof or damaged load-bearing timber can change how loads are carried. Provide existing drawings and reports where available. Ask who will establish the structural design and any required checks before fabrication or changes to the existing frame.
What should I compare in timber frame carpenter quotes?
Compare timber specification, assembly, structural design and interfaces with the rest of the building. Check access equipment and temporary weather protection. Clarify whether roofing, insulation and interior finishes are included, so a structural frame is not compared with a complete finished extension.
How should I prepare for the timber frame carpenter visit or work?
Gather building plans and earlier timber or roof reports. Explain occupied areas and access for long or bulky components. Do not remove structural elements to expose them yourself; agree survey access and how the building remains protected during the work.
