Elk Ridge Custom Homes

Months into a frustrating and disappointing search for a home builder, my husband and I were delighted to find Elk Ridge Custom Homes. We were impressed from our very first lively meeting and we are still wildly grateful for having contracted Phil and Jason to build our retirement home. After living in our home for more than a year, we still wake up every morning, happy, comfortable and confident that our house will outlast the extreme elements of mountain living. Phil and Jason had the technical strengths and experience to understand the demands of and build the details of our architect’s meticulous and carefully-engineered plans. Our own ideas were given respect and attention during planning meetings. After discussing the budget, Elk Ridge impressed us with creative and innovative design modifications that retained all of the key architectural elements and energy-efficiency, while lowering the total costs to fit our bottom line. We broke ground just as the COVID pandemic hit. Phil and Jason continually had to adapt to worsening supply chain and sub-contractor issues. In fact, they were absolute warriors on our behalf every step of the way. They maintained excellent quality control during the entire timeline of the build, especially with the unglamorous, yet critical, details of insulation, plumbing, septic and electrical systems. The interior finishes reflect their high standards as well. Each room in the home has unique and delightful special details. Building a custom home is never a process for the faint of heart; the real world inevitably has setbacks and unforeseen problems. Phil and Jason communicated these issues in a timely way and were transparent during the whole building adventure. All problems were resolved to our complete satisfaction. We are very grateful for their remarkable diligence, honesty and good humor, and highly recommend their expertise

Phil and the team at Elk Ridge are exceptional! They have a clear and organized process, are completely transparent, and work well to make your dreams a reality. I can’t say enough great things about them and would definitely recommend/use again!

We love our new home. Phil and team allowed us to customize every feature of our home. The ability to customize and seek multiple and creative solutions saved us thousands of dollars. The transperancy of invoices/billing with trades is a strong business practice that we greatly appreciated. They have been great in honoring small home warranty issues the have arrived.

We are thoroughly enjoying our Elk Ridge Custom Home. Phil, Jason, Aaron and Noah were great to work with - knowledgable, earnest, frank and determined to build the house we were dreaming of. The ebb and flow of a home design and construction involved a lot of discovery, no small amount of education and a healthy bit of flexibility all around... Phil and his team were great partners throughout. A year after moving in, the quality we invested in continues to reward us with a well built home. Diane & Keith Blodgett Black Forest, Colorado

Love the house built from a fantastic design from Designworks Development (Rodney Stephens). Some hiccups along the way but we are enjoying the end product.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about working with Phil, Jason and the team at Elk Ridge Custom Homes! We did a major remodel of our kitchen and it turned out absolutely PERFECT! Their attention to detail, commitment to excellence and responsiveness to each and every issue was wonderful! Thanks guys! We LOVE our kitchen!

From the first time I talked to Phil about building our custom, modern farmhouse, I was impressed. I appreciated how he looked at our concept house plan, listened to our ideas and was genuinely excited about building our home. His team took the plan, designed and built an even better house than we expected in less than a year. Phil, Jason and their crew were an absolute pleasure to work with. They are highly skilled, knowledgeable and responsive. Several times during the project, as construction material and labor costs rose last year, I was amazed at how Phil found ways to save, value engineer and simply get it done without sacrificing quality. Phil and his team exceeded our expectations. My wife and I are delighted with the end result and highly recommend Elk Ridge Custom Homes to anyone thinking of building a home! Just call Phil and you’ll see exactly what I’m talking about.

We are very happy with our overall experience with Elk Ridge Custom Homes. Our home is even more beautiful than we anticipated. The integrity in their work is shown throughout our home and we enjoyed working with the whole team. We can’t thank them enough for allowing us to be very involved in the whole process and answering all our questions. Seeing our home come to life has been a dream come true. Ellis & Kerri Williams

I would highly recommend Elk Ridge Custom Homes. Not only are they very talented, have great ideas and attention to detail, they do incredible work and really want the customer to be happy! Phil and his team are top notch and we couldn’t be happier with our kitchen remodel!

My husband Michael and I are delighted with our Elk Ridge home! Getting to know Phil and Jason more so during the building process only affirmed our confidence in the design, craftmanship, and integrity of this team. Seeing their work progress from week to week, and observing the attention to detail that they gave to every step of the process strengthened our confidence that they would be blending both artistry and solid construction principles into our home. Did we mention we love our new home!? We highly recommend this experienced team to be your next home builders.

Our dream retirement custom home was just completed by Phil, Jason, Noah and their respective crews at Elk Ridge. We had a few challenges due to the heavy slope of our property, but they came up with beautiful, creative solutions to all. The design is unique and full of little wonders at every turn. We relied on their expertise to recommend several items and finishes. Their choices were beautiful, blending perfectly into the feel we had hoped for. Once the home broke ground, the schedule flowed along quickly - even though it was winter for the better part of the build. Their choices of sub contractors was excellent. We feel we got the best in the business all the way around. On a side note, our bank said they were exceptional to work with on the funding process. We would highly recommend Elk Ridge and their crew to anyone looking to design and build their dream home!

Our first major remodeling job and Phil and Jason where everything you'd want builders to be: Available, ethical and articulate with an eye for detail and as well as design. Our job required engineering expertise and major modifications to a wall; they handled it easily. They communicate well and have a genuine sense of craft. Trustworthy. Highly recommend.
