It’s been great to work with and learn from them.

Expert Custom Home Construction in Custer County, CO
Building a custom home in Westcliffe and Custer County means working with terrain, altitude, and weather that most contractors never face. Cordova Builders manages the full scope of custom home construction here, from initial site evaluation and floor plan coordination to framing, mechanical rough-ins, and final inspections. Custer County sits in the Wet Mountain Valley, where heavy snow loads, wide temperature swings, and wildfire interface zones shape every structural decision. Roof pitch, insulation depth, and foundation design all respond to these site-specific conditions. Many Custer County parcels also require on-site wastewater systems, and Custer County Planning and Zoning requires a sewage disposal approval before a dwelling zoning permit is issued. We coordinate those steps so nothing stalls your project. If you own land in Westcliffe or Custer County and want a home built to perform in this climate, call Cordova Builders to talk through your site and your plan.
