What we’ll cover on the call
Your vision - How you live, what you love, and the list of must-haves you’ve been building for years.
Your site - Whether you already own land or you’re still looking, we’ll talk through what your lot means for design and cost.
Your budget - You’ll get an honest read on what your plans will likely cost to build, and where the money tends to go.
Our process - How Design and Estimation works, and why you’ll know your exact price before construction ever starts.
Why people choose Elk Ridge
A fixed price before you build. Our two-contract process gives you finished plans and a fixed price before you commit to construction. No guessing, and no budget creep halfway through.
Our standard is everyone else’s upgrade list. Closed-cell spray foam, solid wood trim and doors, real stone, hand-troweled drywall, and commercial appliances come standard in every home we build.
Small on purpose. We keep our team small so you work directly with the owners from the first sketch to the final walkthrough.

Kenny Serafinko
Custom Home Client
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!
Lutie 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.
Jeremy 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.
