### Reviews

**★★★★★ — Closet Guy Inc., Jan. 2021**

> Wes does an outstanding job as a general contractor. All his ducks are in a row, he is very prompt, and details do not get missed. As a subcontractor going in thousands of homes over the last ten years, he does some of the best work I have seen. Highly Recommended.
> -Jared Severson
> The Closet Guy

**★★★★★ — Chris D'Ardenne, Sept. 2019**

> Wes and his team are amazing.  We undertook an extensive renovation/expansion project with them - and the end result is exactly what we wanted.  He really understands a clients desires and can work on creative approaches to go from the drawing stages to the finished product.  The attention to detail is remarkable with nothing overlooked from framing to drywall to the finishing details.   After the project is over, Wes stands behind the workmanship of his product and finishes any small issues that may arise.  I would highly recommend Yellowstone Custom Country Homes for any project requiring a general contractor.

**★★★★★ — 1petebartkowski, Sept. 2017**

> YCCH built my dream home! They were extremely professional and the finished product is nothing short of a work of art. They will treat you right and they will deliver

**★★★★★ — Steve Bartkowski, Sept. 2017**

> Wesley Mills and his crew did one heck of a job for us at Ruby Drake Lodge, and also on my son's beautiful custom home on the property.  YCCH was tasked with a nearly impossible timeline on the lodge project...with a Feb start date it had to be open for business by the first week in May...they delivered for us and we have gotten rave reviews from all of our guests. I whole heartedly recommend YCCH...they are a fantastic partner as well as great builders!!

**★★★★★ — Earth Elements, Aug. 2016**

> These guys are great to work with.  They keep top notch quality and stay on schedule.  I would recommend them to anyone.

**★★★★★ — Futura Kitchen Cabinetry Inc., Aug. 2016**

> Excellent craftsmanship with attention to detail that is un-paralleled!  YCCH is a company that could build the custom home you dream of.

**★★★★★ — Scott's Welding & Machine LLC, Aug. 2016**

> I have been providing structural & architectural metals for Yellowstone Custom Country Homes projects from 2009 to present. It has been a pleasure working with Wes & Howard. The quality of their work is outstanding. Attention to detail is the best I have seen, no corners cut anywhere on projects seen or covered in framing. As a subcontractor they are great to work with, very professional from design stage through completion of projects.

**★★★★★ — Cikan Architects, July 2016**

> Great builders!  Real pleasure to work with.  They are great listeners and communicators well in tune with client's desires.  They are not just builders but craftsmen that deliver outstanding quality of workmanship to the last detail.

**★★★★★ — Elite Construction And Roofing, Feb. 2016**

> Yellowstone Custom Country homes were a pleasure to work with. They were honest, hardworking and easy to communicate with.  Wes Mills, and Howard Mills are professionals. they are trust worthy individuals that have earned our respect here in the Bozeman MT area.

**★★★★★ — tetonclimbers, Nov. 2015**

> When Linda and I moved to Montana from out of state to build our retirement home we were looking for a quality builder that truly cares about the customer. After meeting Howard and Wesley Mills of Yellowstone Custom Country Homes we knew we had found the right builder. They build as if they were building for themselves, paying attention to budget, details and quality. They hold themselves to the highest level of integrity and at no point in the building process did we ever feel any pressure.
>
>        Howard and Wesley find time for your every need as a client from detailed bidding, dealing with the highest quality sub-contractors and caring about the client after the home has been built. They visited building sites with us and provided sound advice on location of our “Top of the World Ranch”. They are with you every step of the way looking out for your interest and truly care about craftsmanship.
>
>        Linda and I would recommend Yellowstone Custom Country Homes as your builder for your dream home.

**★★★★★ — Susan Curtis Kitchens, Oct. 2015**

> I had a wonderful experience working with Yellowstone Custom Country.  Everyone was very professional and friendly.  The project progressed positively and I look forward to working together again.

**★★★★★ — Ellen F, Oct. 2015**

> Enhancements to our log home which the Mills and their YCCH  team originally built 15 years ago. It included a new bathroom, new flooring and modifications to some cabinetry. We don't let anyone else touch the house because their work couldn't possibly compare. Wes Mills knows our taste so he's able to offer design ideas that are spot on. The team's work product is excellent and they get the job done without us even being present.

## Community Q&A

**Q: Flooring** *(in Photo Questions)*

Could you please share the maker and color of the flooring? Thank you!

A: The name of the slate is Indian Autumn Slate.

**Q: what is the name of the slate?** *(in Photo Questions)*

Brand?

A: The name of the slate is Indian Autumn Slate.

**Q: Love the table!** *(in Photo Questions)*

My husband and I love the table and rug!  Would share with us where we can see similar pieces?  

Thank you!

A: The client purchased these items after we completed the project. She could not remember where the table came from. The rug is a Karastan.

**Q: Is the creek natural or manmade .....beautiful** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: The creek is natural, but they clean it up and landscaped down to it.

**Q: Who built the cabinets, is the finish a milk wash?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: We used a local shop in Manhattan MT, Misty Mountain Woodworks . The finish is a paint with a lacquer on reclaimed beach. There is a sink, ice maker and some beverage frigs in this area, so we put a more durable finish on it. We were matching a milk paint that is on the windows and trim in a different location in the house. The cabinets match the milk paint very closely.

**Q: How big is this room and how high is the ceiling?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: This room is 20' wide by 35' long. From the perspective of the photographer, you are seeing about 21' x 22'. The ceilings are 12' tall. Behind the photographer, there is a kitchen, which is all open to this room.
