We are living in our dream home thanks to TL Custom homes! Working with them was the best decision we ever made! Lori, Tony, Zac and Bree are a joy to work with and they exceeded our expectations in every way. > > They will build you a home worthy to be on the cover of Sunset Magazine! They have great connections with all the trade companies in the Flathead area. They bring together a skilled team of true professionals who you will trust. > > You will be treated like family from day one! We highly recommend TL Custom Homes. There are not enough stars to list in our review! **★★★★★ — jennitajoy, Aug. 2020** > TL Custom Homes was recommended to us as a custom builder by another builder in Bigfork. We interviewed Tony and Lori and felt that they understood our vision. We had conceptual plans for our house on our land in the foothills of the Swan range, but nothing else. Tony and Lori walked with us through the process from drawing up the final plans all the way to the completion of our home. They have developed relationships with sub contractors throughout the valley over their years in the industry and these relationships proved invaluable in the completion of our project. Our home was built to last with quality construction in every area. Lori went with us to choose siding, windows, plumbing fixtures, lighting, cabinetry and more. Her experience guided us in our decision making process and we have been extremely pleased with the choices we made. With their help our project has truly become our home! **Comment from TL Custom Homes Inc:** > The pleasure was all ours! Thank you so much for the kinds words. We appreciated your trust, and as you know, building is a major life event and we take it seriously. You have a beautiful home and so glad we could be a part of it! **★★★★★ — Larry OBrien, May 2020** > TL Custom and their subs did an amazing job remodeling our home! Updated and improved our 24 year old home. It is absolutely beautiful - attention to detail! **Comment from TL Custom Homes Inc:** > Thank you so much! It was such a fun project! **★★★★★ — Janie Lewer, April 2020** > TL Custom Homes helped make our dream home a reality. Like many people planning a custom home project, we explored multiple builders in the Flathead Valley. Almost immediately upon meeting Lori & Tony, we knew we had found our builders. Their attentiveness and work ethic were the foundation of our project. They welcomed our collaboration to include our own ideas into our home, yet guided us with their expertise and experience. We came to see the TL Custom Homes crew as almost family. Like Lori & Tony, each member of their team strived to deliver exactly what we wanted…they listened, provided suggestions and ensured that our home was exactly as we envisioned it. **Comment from TL Custom Homes Inc:** > Thank you Janie for your kind words. It was a honor and a pleasure to work with you and your family to build your Montana dream home! **★★★★★ — rwlakeside17, April 2020** > TL Custom Homes went beyond my expectations > On our remodel in the Bathroom, Closet and bedroom, all while we were out of town. The project was completed on time and beautiful. > We have more projects and TL Custom Homes > Will definitely be our go to company **Comment from TL Custom Homes Inc:** > Thank you for your kind words!

Their management of the project, providing top quality design and build services as well as their responsiveness to our questions/concerns helped make our award-winning home possible. **Comment from TL Custom Homes Inc:** > Thank you Jeff. It was an honor and a privilege to have been selected as your builder! **★★★★★ — Kim Ottersen, Oct. 2019** > We were so excited when TL Custom took on our home project. We had seen a project of theirs a few years back at a Parade of Homes event. Seeing their work compelled us to choose them as our builder. TL Custom’s craftsmanship was superior amongst the other builders. Tony and Lori’s assistance with selecting materials plus their suggestions and advice made the building process much easier for us. Their quality is in the details. Now that our home is completed, we couldn’t be happier. What started as a wooded lot and floorplans became a beautiful reality. We love everything about our home! We’re proud to recommend TL Custom to build your next project. **Comment from TL Custom Homes Inc:** > Thank you Kim for your kind words. We feel very fortunate to have been able to work with you and your husband! > Warm regards, > Lori **★★★★★ — jessruff, Aug. 2018** > TL and their staff of highly trained craftsmen are the most incredibly talented, creative and dedicated group we have ever had the pleasure of working with. We are thrilled with the outcome of this project-superior quality and Lori’s design expertise resulted in a home that exceeds all expectations. We are grateful for the partnership with TL Custom Homes and the dream home they delivered. **Comment from TL Custom Homes Inc:** > Thank you, as the pleasure was all ours! We are grateful to have had the opportunity to work with you both! **★★★★★ — Jeanette O'Brien, Dec. 2017** > In August of 2016, we decided we could no longer put up with a leaky roof and 1980's out dated house. We had previously met Tony and Lori at a Parade of Homes project they had built and were hoping they would take on our project. We were very fortunate that they agreed! After to major remodel, they turned our Montana cabin into the home of our dreams. They turned what could have been a very stressful process into a fun, creative and exciting transformation! They are the utmost professionals! They have assembled the most creative, talented, honest craftsmen in the Flathead Valley and the subs were all 5 star professionals! > There's a lot of contractors out there but Tony and Lori take a special interest in their clients. They want to get to know you, your likes and dislikes, your personalities and that reflects on the final outcome. Our house is not just a house, Tony and Lori turned it into our home! > We can not recommend them highly enough! **Comment from TL Custom Homes Inc:** > Thank you for your kind words. We are so very fortunate to have had the privilege of working with such great people! We are the lucky ones. **★★★★★ — Joseph Shevlin, Dec. 2017** > When we started the process of choosing a contractor, we sought recommendations from a local bank. We obtained five recommendations. We called each of them and then interviewed four of them. We visited homes that they had constructed. After this process, we chose TL Custom Homes Inc. as our contractor. > > We believe that this was a very good choice for us. Tony and Lori gave us very great service catering to our every concern. They also gave us great advice and were not adverse to letting us know if our idea on something was not a wise choice. > > They both made many trips with us to help with our selection process with finishes. Lori was most helpful in this regard. Their foreman and main finishing man were always trying to provide the best result and always went out of their way to accomodate us. > > We would highly recommend TL Custom Homes Inc. to anyone who wants to build a higher end home. **Comment from TL Custom Homes Inc:** > Thank you Joe and Cherie and it was a privilege to work with you both! **★★★★★ — joe and ronnee duncker, April 2017** > Having been a building professional/contractor for OVER 50 yrs (yikes) we've dealt with all sorts of clients and contractors/sub contractor and our experience with Tony and Lori was, by far, the best we've ever had. Their crew and subs went above and beyond to help us see and achieve our "vision" of our perfect retirement home. Everyone had knowledge of codes and what the budget was, but also what we were going for. They always worked in a clean and safe environment, and were very pleasant to be around when they were there. TL allowed my wife and I to have a lot of "hands on" with his project, which helped with the budget and our "vision", being that we were in the construction trades for oh sooo long. Whether your a multi-million dollar home, or our "low cost" remodel, they treat you like family, as did everyone involved. If something wasn't to our liking, or up to their standards, they addressed it immediately. If this were a ten star site, they would get 11. Thank You Tony, Lori and crew for helping us with our project. ## Selected projects - [Wakewood Dream](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/wakewood-dream-pj-vj~5909725) - Location: Kalispell, MT - Photos: 12 - [Flathead Lake Montana Retreat](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/flathead-lake-montana-retreat-pj-vj~316934) - Location: Somers, MT - Photos: 7 - Description: This beautiful home is nestled on the shores of spectacular Flathead Lake, Montana.
