Our Services
From ground-up custom homes to thoughtful single-room updates, we bring the same level of craftsmanship and attention to detail to every project, no matter the size. Here's how we can help.
Custom Home Builds
Building a custom home in Telluride means designing for a landscape as demanding as it is beautiful — high altitude, heavy snow loads, and views that deserve to be the centerpiece of every room. We manage the full process from site evaluation and design collaboration through final walkthrough, working alongside architects and designers to bring a one of a kind mountain home to life. Every custom build is built around how you actually want to live: entertaining, ski access, multigenerational space, or simply a quiet retreat with unobstructed San Juan Mountains views.
Home Additions
Sometimes the home you love just needs more room. Whether it's an extra bedroom, an expanded primary suite, a mudroom for mountain gear, or a second living space for guests, we build additions that feel like they were always part of the original home — matched in materials, rooflines, and character, not tacked on. Working alongside your architect and designer, we coordinate the structural, mechanical, and permitting complexity so the addition integrates seamlessly with your existing home's footprint and style.
Whole Home Renovations
A whole home renovation is a full reimagining of your property — updated floor plans, systems, finishes, and often the structure itself, all coordinated under one project rather than tackled room by room. This is the right path if you've purchased a dated property with great bones (or great location) and want to transform it into a home that matches your standards today, or if your current home simply needs to be brought fully up to date, top to bottom. We handle everything from structural changes and mechanical upgrades to the final finish selections, so you get one cohesive result instead of a patchwork of past updates.
Smaller Renovations & Remodels
Not every project needs to touch the whole house. We also take on smaller, focused renovations — kitchen remodels, bathroom updates, finished basements, outdoor living spaces, or a single room refresh. These projects get the same level of craftsmanship and design attention as our larger builds, just scoped to fit the space and budget you have in mind. If you're not sure whether your project counts as "small," reach out. We're happy to talk through scope before you commit to anything.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to build a custom home in Telluride?
Costs vary widely based on site conditions, size, and finish level, but building in a high altitude mountain market like Telluride typically runs higher than lowland construction due to a shorter building season, steep lot engineering, and material transport. We provide project specific estimates after an initial site evaluation and design conversation, since no two lots or homes here are the same.
What's the difference between a home addition and a whole home renovation?
An addition adds new square footage to your existing home — a new room, suite, or wing. A whole home renovation works within your current footprint but touches the entire house: layout, systems, and finishes throughout. Some projects do both at once, and we'll help you figure out which approach (or combination) actually fits your goals and site.
Is it cheaper to renovate my whole home or build new?
It depends on your existing structure, foundation, and how much of the current home is worth keeping. A full renovation can sometimes cost close to new construction once structural and system work is factored in — we'll walk through the trade-offs with you honestly during an initial consultation rather than assuming one path is automatically the better value.
How long does a whole home renovation take?
Timeline depends on scope, permitting, and Telluride's seasonal construction window, but most full home renovations take several months to a year or more from permitting through completion. We build a realistic project schedule with you upfront, including how the mountain construction season affects sequencing.
Do you take on smaller renovation projects, or only large builds?
Yes, we regularly take on smaller renovations like kitchen remodels, bathroom updates, and single room refreshes alongside our larger custom builds and whole home projects. Project size doesn't change the level of craftsmanship or attention your project gets.
What should I consider before adding onto my mountain home?
Beyond design and budget, additions in Telluride need to account for snow load engineering, matching existing rooflines and materials, and site/lot constraints that are common in mountain terrain. We evaluate all of this during the initial site visit so the addition integrates structurally and visually with your existing home.
Do you build year round in Telluride?
Yes — we build year round. Construction here still follows a seasonal rhythm shaped by snow and access, so we plan project phases around those realities, but that doesn't stop work from continuing through the winter months.
