Dovetail Construction

Dovetail Construction High-End Home Builders & Master Craftsman Dovetail Construction is the realization of a childhood dream among two lifelong friends.
(1)

Since Kevin and Tim were 5 years old, the two things they always wanted to do was to live in the mountains and to build. Both obtained engineering and construction management degrees and for many years followed their own paths working on major construction sites (Kevin in NYC and Tim in Boston, Hawaii,Alaska,and Seattle). Kevin eventually escaped from NY and moved to Montana. When the two lads wou

ld occasionally meet up and have an adult beverage (or two), talk would always return to their childhood dream and plans would once again be hatched late into the night. Well, one day that plan survived the morning after and Tim made a major move to The Last Best Place where Dovetail Construction was born. Dovetail Construction could best be described as a family business (people who know them will know what this means) that takes advantage of a wide range of construction experiences. Over the years they learned many things but the two most important things they learned (even before they entered Kindergarten) were to: Do exactly what you say you're going to do and if you do something, do it right. It seems simple because it is. Dovetail Construction, "where quality joins integrity."

As our summer internship comes to a close, we’re reminded how much can be gained in just a few short months.

This summer, we were happy to welcome Stuart to Dovetail as a Project Engineer Intern. From gaining hands-on experience and a better understanding of the industry to learning from the people around him and building relationships along the way, Stuart made the most of his time with our team.

We’re grateful to have been part of his experience and even happier to hear it was a rewarding one.

Thanks for a great summer, Stuart!

Back to this one from the Dovetail archives – this time, we’re heading inside.

Black heated concrete floors, a custom walnut pivot entry door and a petrified wood slab in the great room are just a few of the details that made this home such a unique one to build.

A closer look at what’s behind the exterior.

Pulling this one from the archives.

First up: The exterior.

Contemporary lines, masonry and expansive teak decks give this home a look all its own. Even its orientation was considered, with the main axis positioned around the winter and summer solstices to make the most of the natural light.

Next up, we’ll head inside.

Always a fun day when you fly a hot tub over an almost finished home, sort of like putting a cherry on top of an ice cream Sunday. Great job team.

Some homes make an impression immediately.

Others grow on you.

A closer look at the Ennis Creek residence revels a thoughtful mix of architecture, texture, and personality – creating spaces that feel both refined and remarkably comfortable.

The more time you spend with it, the more details you notice.
