Based on the serene, beautiful finished product, you’d never guess that this custom new home was a challenge to build. Not only was the team facing supply chain issues in the wake of COVID-19, but the site itself was on a rocky mountainside lot that required extra care. The driveway was so steep during construction that we had to use bulldozers to haul our heavy work trucks to the build site! The effort was worth it, though, and the challenging terrain was the tradeoff for such a beautiful location to build a custom home.

Our client, who also served as the designer of the home, has this to say about her experience building this home with us, in a Google review from February 2026: “We had such an incredible experience with Jag Green Builders that we are already building our second home with them. Finding a builder this reliable is rare, and Jag is truly one of the best in the business. The quality of the home is superior, with finishes that are nothing short of amazing. What made this project even more impressive was that we built this house while living in another state. Because we couldn’t be on-site often, communication was vital…the entire support staff and project management team provided top-tier customer service throughout.”
