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."

Reminiscing on this summer retreat - Crazy Trixies Ranch, recently featured in the Modern West publication highlighting modern homes in breathtaking western settings. Its name is inspired by the main cabin’s standing-seam metal roof, designed to lift and open up to sweeping views of the Crazy Mountains in Montana.

Dovetail couldn’t be prouder to be featured as the cover story for the recent Bozeman Western Home Journal edition.

Inside, you’ll find our story: built on craftsmanship, driven by integrity, and defined by relationships that outlast any project we’ve ever completed.

None of this happens without YOU — our clients, partners, and everyone who’s been part of our journey.

Make sure you grab a copy!

A working moment on a future outdoor dining space—caught in a spring snowstorm— and the details speak for themselves.

A recent remodel shaped by stone, aged timber, and materials that hold real visual weight.

Lived-in and layered, a moodier tone is carried throughout—subtly drawing on old-world character.

Our recent 4-page spread in Big Sky Journal HOME perfectly tells the Dovetail story.

Where Quality Joins Integrity.

We’ve been best friends for more than 50 years—and have spent a lifetime building together.

From childhood tree forts to custom homes across Montana, our work is grounded in something deeper than construction. It’s about people. Relationships. Trust built over time.

“We wanted to do things in a better way.”

That mindset has shaped more than 70 projects across the region—each one defined not just by craftsmanship, but by the experience behind it.

Instead of growing bigger, we’ve chosen to grow better.
Fewer projects. Stronger relationships. A lasting connection to the people and places we build for.

Because at the end of the day, it’s not just about the homes—it’s about who you build them with.
