The Nature Conservancy of Jackson Hole

June 3, 2013

The Nature Conservancy needs no introduction at this point. Their mission is clear and noble. It shouldn’t be a surprise that The Nature Conservancy locates their facilities across the United States in the ideal locations to protect our most cherished lands. Jackson Hole, Wyoming, adjacent to Yellowstone National Park and Grand Teton National Park, is proud to be one town to host this non-profit organization. And when it came time to build The Nature Conservancy of Jackson Hole they honored Teton Heritage Builders by selecting them as their sustainable builder.

The rammed earth structure was designed by Ward-Blake Architects and incorporates environmentally friendly building approaches. Sustainable technologies that were installed include a double pyrohelix wood burning fireplace to provide heat for the building. Solar siting was considered to maximize heat gains in the winter and minimize cooling during the warm summer months. And the design seemlessly camoflauges the building into the surrounding landscape. It is a real gem.

The Nature Conservancy building in Jackson Hole garnered much excitement in the architectural community. Ward-Blake Architects earned an Award of Honor and an Award of Merit from the American Institute of Architects. The entire team at Teton Heritage Builders is very proud to be a part of the project for The Nature Conservancy of Jackson Hole.

Jackson Hole Builders Saving You Money

March 26, 2013

Jackson Hole Builders Spring Into Action — Jackson Hole cabin under glorious Spring sunshine.

It’s here. Spring. The glorious time of year where us mountain dwelling creatures come out of hibernation and bask in the glory of the sun for more than 5 hours a day. Like true Jackson Hole builders you may know that we are like the postal service – we aren’t stopped by rain, snow nor sleet. If timed properly we can save you money on your project by letting mother nature work on your behalf.

Inclement weather does bring a slight decrease in productivity on any job outdoors. After all, it does take time to shovel snow off our materials at a job site when a three foot snowstorm rolls through the valley. Framers can’t work as fast with driving rain and sleet. So after our morning snow removal or weather abatement is done our team is as diligent as ever in working towards completing a log home of timber frame project in Jackson Hole.

Jackson Hole builders aren’t scared of the elements. The variable weather is part of the reason that we love to live in the Rockies. However, there are components of the construction phases that make sense to start when the weather is nice. For example, excavation takes less time and can save you money if done during the Spring or Summer months. Similarly, framing can be done much more efficiently during the long days of summer when snow disturbances aren’t a factor. You get the picture, I’m sure.

So if you are looking at Teton Heritage Builders to be the Jackson Hole builders for your next project we encourage you to call us on the phone or send us an email to talk about the best timeline for completing your project at the lowest cost. Teton Heritage Builders has been in business for 17 years in Jackson Hole and have been through many iterations of scheduling. We know how to get your project done on time and at the right price. Let us help guide you in building your dream cabin in the Jackson Hole.

Spring Building in Jackson Hole

March 13, 2013

Spring Time in Jackson Hole — Bags on in the Rocky Mountain sunshine.

It’s no secret that building can be tricky during the winter months in the Rockies. And now that March is here we are transitioning into our much anticipated phases of Spring building in Jackson Hole. It’s a glorious fight with the weather each and every day. Some days it is snowing and we have to spend time digging to get to our materials. The next day it might be raining. Some days a combination of rain and snow. And other days are the blue-bird, sunny days that every builder yearns for.

This picture was taken on Monday at one of our newest job sites just Southwest of Jackson Hole. It’s exactly this type of Spring day that gets us even more motivated than usual to get up on an exposed roof and ramp up production.

Here’s to a long season full of gorgeous Jackson Hole sunshine!

Log Cabin Interior Design in Jackson Hole

December 18, 2012

Teton Heritage Builders’ Lost Creek Cabin was featured as one of the 20 Coziest Bedrooms on Houzz. We are proud to be recognized for superior construction as well as the log cabin interior design that is so iconic in the Rocky Mountains.

The Lost Creek Cabin, built in Jackson Hole, WY, was designed by John Kjos of Ellis Nunn and Associates. Modeled after the famous Madison Ranger Station in Yellowstone National Park, this rustic log cabin in the Tetons is a perfect place to escape the fast pace of everyday life.

Houzz writer Becky Harris waded through thousands of bedrooms on Houzz and narrowed down the list to only 20 of the best. We couldn’t be more excited to have made the list. Beyond the mountain rustic feel of the Lost Creek Cabin there are rooms ranging in style from farmhouse and Cape Cod style to woodsy and kitchen rooms.

If you are looking for log cabin interior design inspiration, or perhaps want to update your contemporary or traditional interior design then you need to read this article and see the great photos of each bedroom.

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.
