ABOUT STILLWATER CONSTRUCTION
I was raised here in Bend, and have 27 years experience professionally managing and executing custom homes, spec homes, and high-end remodel projects. I take a cost-conscious attitude and pair it with a business-minded approach to residential construction. I believe that constant client communication and well-scheduled planning makes a project successful. I also believe that exceptional results can be obtained with creativity and ‘smart’ choices, rather than spending a ton of money. I have built over 90 new homes in the Bend, Seattle, and Portland areas as a small-to-mid-size developer/builder. I’ve served in roles varying from site superintendent to project manager, estimator/purchaser, and design & spec selection. I’ve personally built/remodeled 6 of my own homes, so I know what it’s like to write checks each month as a client building a home.
I grew up here in the Bend area, and have a wonderful wife and 2 children. When I’m not working on your house or at home with my family, you’ll find me mountain biking, rafting, fly fishing, or skiing.
We’re excited to work with you on your new custom home build, home remodel, or home addition here in Bend.
OPEN-BOOK, COMPREHENSIVE, AND UPFRONT BUDGETING MINIMIZES STRESS, SURPRISES, AND THE FEELING OF BEING OVERWHELMED...
… TAKE A BREATH,
THIS IS FUN
