Choosing the right builder starts with the land itself. We offer a complimentary lot evaluation to help you understand your site’s opportunities and constraints before you commit.

Our lot evaluations include:

• Topography & site buildability

• Soil conditions & rock/grade insights

• Utility access & setbacks

• Views, orientation, and privacy considerations

• Drainage and slope planning

• Local HOA or jurisdictional review awareness

You can walk your site with us or we’ll evaluate it with detailed notes and photos — whichever works best for you. This evaluation gives you clarity, confidence, and a roadmap for planning your custom build.

Getting the details right before breaking ground saves time and money later. Our pre-construction services include:

• Initial site evaluation & budgeting

• Collaboration with architects & designers

• Permit coordination & HOA guidance

• Scheduling & cost planning

• Value engineering to align design with budget

You’re never locked in — you can take the planning results and build with us or with another builder.

From permits to finishing touches, we manage the complex logistics so you don’t have to:

• Hiring, scheduling, and oversight of all trades

• Site supervision and quality control

• Timeline management & progress communication

• Budget tracking & reporting

We don’t take on too many homes at once — your project gets the attention it deserves.

Where Mountain Customs & Contracting Began

Before we were general contractors, we were framers — and not production framing, not “good enough” framing. The kind of framing where lines matter, loads matter, and every cut has a reason.

Framing is the backbone of every home. It dictates how a house performs, how finishes lay, how ceilings plane, how windows sit, and how a structure ages over decades. This is where we built our reputation — and it still defines how we approach every project.

What Sets Our Framing Apart

• Advanced layout & load-path awareness
  Every beam, post, and bearing wall is placed with intention — not guesswork. We frame for structural integrity first, aesthetics second, and shortcuts never.

• Heavy timber & custom beam integration
  Hand-cut rafters, exposed beams, timber trusses, and complex rooflines are a specialty — not an exception. We coordinate framing with engineering and finish details so everything aligns cleanly and planes true.

• Roof systems built to plane
  Valley beams, beveled plates, and intricate roof intersections are framed to plane correctly from day one — because no amount of finish work can fix poor structure underneath.

• Window & opening precision
  Windows, doors, and large openings are framed square, plumb, and true — protecting performance, energy efficiency, and long-term durability.

• Mountain-ready construction
  Snow loads, wind exposure, elevation changes, and sloped sites are accounted for in framing decisions — not “figured out later.”

Why It Matters

Clean framing isn’t just something you see — it’s something you feel:

• Drywall lays flatter

• Ceilings plane clean

• Trim installs tighter

• Rooflines read straighter

• Structures age better

This level of precision reduces downstream issues, protects your investment, and creates homes that perform as beautifully as they look.

Framers Who Became Builders — Not the Other Way Around

Our background in framing and structural carpentry informs every phase of our general contracting process. We understand how early decisions affect everything that comes after — which is why our projects are organized, intentional, and built correctly from the bones up.

If you care about craftsmanship, structure, and a home that’s built right — not just built fast — you’re in the right place.
