Mountain Builders Who Understand Westcliffe's Elevation and Weather

Westcliffe's 7,871-foot elevation and 83 inches of annual snowfall create structural demands most contractors underestimate. Roofs must handle 50 PSF snow loads; foundations must account for frost heave and freeze-thaw cycles. Cordova Builders sizes structural members, specifies materials, and engineers drainage systems for these exact conditions.

Wind exposure on the valley floor regularly exceeds 50 mph, especially on open sites. Custom home framing, deck construction, and outdoor structures require wind-load calculations and proper anchoring. We design roof pitches and bracing to shed snow and resist uplift—not as an afterthought, but from the foundation up.

Site preparation in the Wet Mountain Valley involves steep terrain, rocky soil, and limited utility access. Septic and well installation, driveway trenching, and foundation excavation demand local knowledge. We coordinate with county requirements and manage the logistics that make or break a mountain project.

I most highly recommend Michael Cordova and his team to build your next project whether it be a new dream home, a remodel or anything in between. Being a member of an architectural compliance committee in a subdivision in Custer County, I visit many residential build sites. I was very impressed with Micheal Cordova from the very beginning. I've witnessed his interaction with his clients and have seen his work. He instils confidence in his clients with his knowledge, professionalism and friendly demeanor. He guides his clients through every step of the building process. His penchant for quality workmanship is admirable. Rick Abbott
