Custom Homes in Ski Country (circa 1995-2014)

About These Projects

Luxury homes in Colorado’s Ski Country are built on a large scale with unique design features and expert finishes. Josh learned and refined his building skills working on custom mountain homes for 20 years (1995-2014). Many of these pictures were taken in 2019, not at the time of the projects, and show how his craftsmanship has endured in Summit County’s harsh conditions.

    You can spot some of Josh’s handiwork on the front of this stunning Breckenridge home that he worked on in 2005. He’s responsible for the beautiful log accents, siding, and the roof. He also installed all the exterior doors (except the garage) and windows. You’d never guess it by the cabin design, but this 3,800+ SQ FT custom home is actually supported with traditional framing — and Josh did that, too! Zillow estimates its value at almost $2.4M.
