What Our Clients Say About Us

Our clients entrust us with more than just building a home—they rely on us to bring their vision to life with precision, artistry, and an unwavering commitment to excellence. Here’s what they have to say about their experience with Elk Ridge Custom Homes.

K. Serafinko

Custom Home Client

We just had the distinct pleasure of working with Elk Ridge Custom Homes in the design and construction of our dream home in Colorado Springs. What Phil, Jason, Gabe and the team built us was a modern and sophisticated, magazine worthy dream home. The entire team was phenomenal to work with and made building a custom home as smooth and seamless as possible. Elk Ridge Custom Homes was hands down the most down to earth and best builders in Colorado Springs. We could not recommend them enough!

L. Mora

Custom Home Client

Months into a frustrating and disappointing search for a home builder, my husband and I were delighted to find Elk Ridge Custom Homes. We were impressed from our very first lively meeting and we are still wildly grateful for having contracted Phil and Jason to build our retirement home. After living in our home for more than a year, we still wake up every morning, happy, comfortable and confident that our house will outlast the extreme elements of mountain living.

J. Swenson

Custom Home Client

We used Elk Ridge Custom homes to build our custom home while we lived in another state. They did an excellent job keeping us informed with the progress and did a great job communicating with us as the home was built. Their team has a high attention to detail, and caught many things that would have been issues before they actually occurred. Our family was very pleased with our home and we would highly recommend them for a custom home build.

K. Slojkowski

Custom Home Client

We could not have had a better custom home experience. Phil and his team are meticulous on details! All of his crews starting from the concrete to the finishing are extremely professional and great at their job. Thank you for our forever home!

T. Sawyer

Custom Home Client

From the first time I talked to Phil about building our custom, modern farmhouse, I was impressed. I appreciated how he looked at our concept house plan, listened to our ideas and was genuinely excited about building our home. His team took the plan, designed and built an even better house than we expected in less than a year. Phil, Jason and their crew were an absolute pleasure to work with. They are highly skilled, knowledgeable and responsive.
