July 11, 2012

Checking builder references for your custom home builder in Big Sky, MT and Jackson Hole, WY is a very important part of the building process. We all look at customer reviews for products we are buying online to ensure they fit our needs -after all, nobody wants to buy a lemon. So whether you are choosing between Bozeman builders, Montana architects, Jackson hole homes, or Big Sky builders be sure to leave no stone unturned in your quest to find the best match to provide you with the highest quality end product.

General contractors should be treated to the same due diligence as any investment. Every company projects themselves as the best, but be sure to take time to ask their past clients exactly what their experience was. Did the contractor deliver a finished home as they promised?

Big Sky Homes in The Yellowstone Club Go Modern

June 15, 2012

Teton Heritage Builders is busy building a new home in the Yellowstone Club. Designed by Reid Smith Architects, a creative Big Sky architect, this modern project adds to our already diverse portfolio of Big Sky homes and Jackson Hole homes.

This 10,000 square foot home will be one of only a handful of modern buildings in the log and timber frame dominated Yellowstone Club. It is perched on the side of Lone Peak with ski-in/ski-out access and stunning views of the surrounding mountains. Aside from the cutting-edge design, what makes this house particularly incredible is the Unilux window package chosen by the homeowner.

I caught up with Dave Behan, our local Unilux Windows representative, on the specifics of these windows. First off, Unilux manufactures only triple pane windows in their factory in Germany. Part of what sets them apart from your standard window package is their narrow frame dimensions which provides more glass area for unobstructed views. They are “the most energy efficient windows available on the planet for a curtain wall system,” says Dave. In fact, they are more than 75 percent more efficient than a standard double pane window.

When complete, this home is going to have the feeling of being outdoors while being comfortable at home. Large panels of glass will slide open to bring in fresh air and invigorate the home. Teton Heritage Builders hired Unilux certified window installers to ensure the windows are properly installed. The slightest miscalculation of structural steel framing which supports these windows can mean disaster for a project of this scale. Fortunately for us, our Superintendent/Project Manager Ben Jones nailed the structural framing. Way to go Ben!

Bozeman Builders Know Geothermal Heat

May 31, 2012

Bozeman builders Teton Heritage Builders is starting the installation of a geothermal heat pump system in Big Sky, Montana. The first of 24 geothermal wells was just drilled just off the building’s garage entrance. As bozeman builders, we understand the varying geology of the mountain folds around here and know importance of the scientific approach to designing a ground source heat pump system. So we are using this first vertical geothermal well to run a thermal conductivity test on the local geological formation to precisely size this geothermal system. With accurate test results in hand, the updated geothermal design will be the absolute best it can be.

Once finished, this well will be part of the ground heat exchanger for a 24 ton geothermal heating and cooling system. The homeowner will be able to simultaneously heat and cool their mountain home in the Yellowstone Club using the renewable energy naturally stored underground on their site. By harnessing the Earth’s heat their radiant and forced air system will reach levels of efficiency above 350% in the middle of the winter. Talk about huge savings!

Glowing Client Testimonials

April 25, 2012

Teton Heritage Builders has been erecting custom buildings for 16 years throughout Montana and Wyoming and we are certainly not ashamed of any part of our past. In fact, we are very proud of our custom homes and commercial projects in the Northern Rockies. To us it is no coincidence that our impressive building resume comes with a long list of glowing client testimonials.

As part of our standard practices we recommend that all of our potential clients contact our past clientele to get the scoop on Teton Heritage Builders. We know that this is a fairly common practice for most businesses, but we are also aware that clients can be selectively left off the reference list for varying reasons. That is not how we operate. We open our rolodex to potential clients as far back as they want to go. Whether it’s for a high end commercial project in Big Sky, Montana or a new residential project in Jackson Hole, we are happy to put you in touch with all of the homeowners from our past.

Time and time again we speak with potential clients who are dumbfounded by the overwhelmingly positive feedback they have heard. One person in particular was surprised to hear not even one negative comment from the references that they contacted. It’s a good problem to have when a potential client hears nothing but honest, glowing testimonials. To that end, the entire Teton Heritage Builder’s team urges you to hear the client’s side of the story straight from the source.

Is it our fault homeowners have nothing but praises for Teton Heritage Builders? Well, I suppose you could say that it is our fault. Our mission statement was crafted specifically to bring out the best in our employees and our management process fosters employees who love coming to work. We are ecstatic that our values and dedication shine through to our clients and are reflected in the finished product. Everybody from our President to our skilled finish carpenters are proud each time we deliver a new home which exceeds the expectations of the homeowner. We couldn’t be any happier with our reputation for building excellence in Big Sky, Montana and Jackson, Wyoming.
