Prep for the siding

Our clients have a very nice house in Edgemont Ranch just outside of Durango. The homes inside is in very good condition but the exterior needs some work. Neglect from the previous owner with the help from some wood peckers caused the existing wood siding to deteriorate. Our plan is to remove the existing siding along with some stucco and replace with new. The materials chosen are Diamond Kote-Smart Side with some thermally modified wood around the entry. Eventually the stone work will also be replaced but that portion will happen later. Our crew has been making short work of the siding removal/replacement so far. At Will Construction we spend much of our time designing and building new custom homes. We can also help with your remodel projects and additions. If your house could use a little updating, give us a call.

Located in the Animas Valley north of Durango our client had a very nice custom home already. What they were lacking was garage space for their toys and sleeping space for guests. So with our help and the help of our architect, we designed a very nice custom garage/guest house to solve both issues. The new space will be finished to match the existing house and when we are done it will look like it belongs there. We are proud to complete design/build projects of all sizes and this one will another fun project!

High Quality/Small Footprint. When the Garrett brothers found this large property west of Durango in Hesperus, they knew that is where they want to be. We will build 2 homes on the property, one for each brother. For the main home we once again partnered with Wind River Timber Frames for the frame. This will be a true timber frame and will show off Wind River’s incredible talent for joinery. Both of the houses prove that a very nice custom home can be on the smaller side too. Often choosing extremely high quality in a smaller footprint is the way to go. It is always fun to work with great clients and to help them see their vision come to fruition!

This property sits Southwest of Durango in the Hesperus area. The property is beautiful but the exiting home just wasn’t big enough. So we worked with the owners and our architect to design a new custom master bedroom and bathroom addition. With In-Floor radiant heating and nice finishes to match the existing house the owners will certainly enjoy the new space. The design is such that when finished the addition will blend seamlessly with the home and will look like it was always there. We get to work for some great clients and in beautiful locations. This is just another example of why this is so much fun!

We first met this couple back in 2019. At the time they weren’t sure if buying an existing house or building was the right choice. After looking they quickly discovered that in order to get the forever custom home they really wanted they needed to build. We worked together to hire an architect and started designing. Now, in 2023 we are starting the actual construction. We sure enjoy building these relationships with our clients. We enjoy every part of the design build process and it is fun to see our work take shape! Located in Timberdale Ranch subdivision outside of Bayfield, CO this will be a very nice custom home and detached garage. Great clients make this fun!

We are proud to be building this very nice custom retirement home in Edgemont Meadows. This subdivision is the newest development in Edgemont located just outside of Durango. For this custom home we worked with the owners to select and hire an architect for the design. RMBA Architects did a great job on the design. Now we get to build it. We really do enjoy this design build process. It’s fun to turn the owners vision into reality!

Snodgrass RV Garage Addition. Our mission states in part that “our goal is for our first time clients to be lifetime clients”. Well here is another example. After building their retirement home several years ago our clients have started traveling. They needed a safe place to park their RV so we are proud to be working for them again. We worked together to design and are now building a new RV garage for them. At Will Construction we are proud to have some of the best clients and honored that they choose us to build for them!

Custom timber frame home. This beautiful home sits in Forest Groves subdivision high above the Florida river. It is a mountain setting on a fairly steep lot. The slope of the lot dictated that this home would be built with a separate detached garage. The home itself is 2240 square ft. and the 2 car garage is oversized slightly. Completed in 2010 this home shows off a craftsman style with cedar siding, rough sawn beam trusses and stone. Inside features a gas fireplace surrounded by stone and the great room has all T&G stained wood ceiling. Heating is accomplished using a 93% efficient forced air system. Interior doors and trim are all clear pine stained to blend with the rest of the house. These clients where a pleasure to work with and we all had fun building their house.

These clients had already built their retirement home and were ready for a Southwest Adobe Guesthouse that could also serve as a caretaker’s home. This project is unique in the fact that the house is built using “earth blocks”. This is a type of construction similar to adobe and one that we hadn’t been involved with before. Because our clients built their other home this way they knew the right subcontractor to use for that portion. Situated on the La Plata river south west of Colorado this home gets plenty of sunshine. The southwest style home shows that style inside and out. True plaster walls on the inside, tile counters and the trim materials all show a Mexican theme. The house is heated using radiant in-floor that is heated using solar panels. This system is unbelievably efficient. Certainly one of the most unique homes that we have built. Another example of why we love our design/build process. A true custom home like no other in Durango.

We should have known that One Silverton custom home wouldn’t be enough. Silverton is a beautiful mountain town and it seems the secret is out. When we started on the Murphy protect it didn’t take long for another new client to find us. This couple has been visiting Silverton for many years and are looking forward to their new custom home. This one is starting out as a large garage with an apartment above. The long term plan is to build an attached custom home. For now the smaller home will make a great place to live! It is fun to work for good people who appreciate what we do. I think we have the best clients around!
