The Myth of “Too Expensive”

Many people are spending over $1M+ on a semi-custom home that still forces them to compromise.

🚫 No cookie-cutter designs
🚫 No wasted square footage or unnecessary costs
🚫 No hidden fees or “allowances” that leave you guessing

"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. Initially, we had a different architect put together the plans and started interviewing builders in the area. What became clear right away was the passion, expertise, and relatability of the Elk Ridge team. While other builders seemed to just see the build in terms of dollar signs, Phil had a clear vision and was able to take and tweak the initial plans to be even better than we could have imagined. With the value engineering and redesign of the blueprints, we were able to remain within our budget, even with rising construction costs and inflation. 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!"
