Elevation Custom Builders believes in the power of relationships. As Durango and Southwest Colorado’s premier home builder and contractor, we pride ourselves in offering exceptional service based on a foundation of trust and communication. Whether you’re looking to design your custom dream home or invest in a new commercial venture, our team offers excellence in each of our service categories.
There are countless variables on a land parcel that impact building a home. Orientation is important in evaluating sun exposure and views. Engineering aspects need to be evaluated to account for soils quality, drainage and utilities. Does a property offer active or passive solar? Our expertise and engineering background allow us to offer alternative perspectives whether you’re shopping for land or have already purchased a parcel.
The Design-Build approach creates an open flow of communication between client, contractor and design team to establish a cohesive, unified vision for your custom home. Our in-house staff includes designers, contractors and superintendents who are in constant communication regarding your project. This business model allows us to foresee and avoid issues that could become costly or impact your overall vision for your custom home.
Designing a custom home requires intentional, functional and creative solutions to build a home that is ideally constructed to suit your daily life. The decision-making process can feel overwhelming. Our role is to remove the stress of those decisions and understand your overall vision in order to clarify selections and achieve a cohesive home design — Your unique blend of styles pulled into one aesthetic and functional end-product.
In addition to custom homes, Elevation Custom Builders offers commercial new construction and remodels. Our portfolio includes work in the restaurant, hospitality, education and service station industries in addition to private office renovations. If you are local to Durango you can view a few of our commercial projects at Primus Restaurant, Carver Brewing Company and the Giant Gas Station on Highway 160 West.
“In every step of the process Elevation was professional and responsive with incredible follow through. Their on site management and scheduling of subs resulted in a high quality, on budget, and early completion of the project. Ahead of schedule and on budget!”
