Custom home
Boise, Idaho
General contractor for Boise homes.
We plan and build additions, major remodels, and custom homes for Boise homeowners taking on a big project.
Boise houses aren't one type of building. North End and East End homes are often older, with additions that have to meet original structure and, in some districts, extra review of exterior changes. The Bench, West Boise, and the Highlands each bring a different era of construction. Newer neighborhoods like Harris Ranch are a different problem again, with HOA standards on top of the city permit.
We're based here and have been building in Boise since 1986. Even so, every project starts with your specific house. Its age, its foundation, and what you want added or opened up matter more than the neighborhood name.
Neighborhoods
North End
Older homes where an addition has to meet existing structure, and where some streets fall in historic districts.
East End
Established houses, including streets where exterior changes can draw additional design review.
The Bench
A wide mix of mid-century and later homes, often remodeled in place rather than replaced.
Highlands and West Boise
Foothill lots and larger suburban houses, including additions and whole-home remodels.
Harris Ranch and Downtown
Newer planned neighborhoods and in-town properties, where association rules or tight sites change the approach.
Permitting
- Projects inside Boise city limits are permitted through the City of Boise. Confirm the jurisdiction before assuming a county process.
- In Boise’s historic districts, exterior work can require design review in addition to a building permit. The status of a property should be confirmed with the city.
- Additions and whole-home remodels that change structure or use need a permit. We work through that during preconstruction. Requirements change, so current city standards always win.

Questions
- Do you take projects throughout Boise?
- Yes. Boise is the center of our service area. What matters is the project, whether that's an addition, a major remodel, or a custom home, not the neighborhood.
- Who permits a Boise addition or remodel?
- The City of Boise, for property inside city limits. Historic-district review can apply on top of the building permit. Confirm the property’s status before design is treated as final.
