In searching for a home builder in different areas of Colorado. I came across Contemporary Custom Homes. I was considering building in Aspen where their home office is located. I spoke with Ashley (I believe she is the owner). After speaking with her about what I was looking for in value/expense, she told me about Pagosa Springs and that they have a satellite office down there.
I am very impressed with her knowledge and understanding of the home markets in Colorado. I visited Pagosa Springs over the winter to experience the town and Wolf Creek Ski Area. The town is small but has more conveniences than you would first think. But I want to retire to an area that has amazing skiing opportunities and man did Ashley hit the nail on the head with Wolf Creek Ski Area! I had a great time a probably the smallest mountain I ever been to. The availability of all types terrains makes the mountain feel larger, plus I swear, no lines at the lifts once the first chairs were loaded. I am sold on Pagosa. Love it there!
I am in the process of working with the company on my bid for my home. So far, I have been impressed with their process and in-depth questions. I feel like they want to build the house that I want. Not so much what's best/easiest for the builder like I experienced with another "custom" builder. I had a very good idea of how I wanted my kitchen layout to be. Ashley recommended several changes, not to benefit her, but how the changes would benefit me and save money. Considering the "yield" from the quartz slabs I would get, saving me almost $3000. I would have never thought about that.
I will keep you updated on the way things go from here. So far, amazing! read more
