I would HIGHLY recommend Dovetail Construction and their team to work on any home project, remodel, or building project you have in mind. With Dovetail, we demo'd our old home and started construction of our new forever home using the (nearly) same footprint. In this unique situation, there were naturally some challenges along the way, but their team was always solution-oriented, positive, creative and fun. Because of this spirit and their integrity, they have very positive relationships with other necessary contractors and valuable business resources. Our CUSTOM home was completed in 11 months. We couldn't be happier!

Dovetail Construction is the kind of company one seeks but seldom finds. Everything they do from pricing to projections, completion dates and customer support are more than one hopes for. There is nothing they leave to chance. Every person hired by Dovetail to complete our project was pleasant, courteous, very skilled, and concerned that we were happy with the work. I would gladly have them do another project. They take great pride creating beautiful surroundings.

Dovetail did an excellent job on a major remodel of my Bozeman hone in 2013. High quality work and very fair on large number of change orders. highly recommend them for high end residential work.

Tim and Kevin are men among men and builders-extraordinaire. They are fully invested in their projects and take the quality of their work very personally, as they would in building a home for themselves. They are true masters of the craft, the best of the best, and so knowledgeable about every single aspect of home building. Plus, they have real relationships with their subs, so that everyone on board is part of a well-oiled team that cares very much about the project. Once you’ve had real builders, the kind that are hands-on and hearts-in, the kind that hold quality above all else, true artisans, like the men of Dovetail, there is just no other choice! And Tim and Kevin are the guys I’d want on my side in a crisis because they are simply capable and the most trustworthy men in Bozeman!

Tim and Dovetail Construction are excellent to work with – very personable, attentive to details & best construction practices, and very fun to work with! I’ve had the opportunity to construct a few residential projects with Dovetail and have been quite pleased with the process, their ability to listen, and the end results. Tim, one of the owners, greatly enjoys getting to know clients & making the building process smooth. I also worked closely with Joe, one of the superintendents, and he is awesome to work with too; he takes a lot of care to make sure things are right and look like it was intended - Top notch craftsmanship. I have enjoyed working with them and will continue to recommend them to clients!

Dovetail has completed two projects for us (in 2010 and 2013) - one commercial remodel in downtown Bozeman and one residential. Their work has been meticulous, on-budget and nearly on-time. .

I had the opportunity to Work with Dovetail on two projects, our Fishing Cabin and Barn/saloon. Both projects were completed on time and within our budget, their attention to detail and quality are excellent and their subcontractor base is outstanding. I have been in the construction industry for the past 34 years and I would highly recommend Dovetail to any client. You will not be disappointed with their service and turnkey program to complete your project. Dovetail is a great contractor!

Bozeman, MT-based Dovetail Construction is THE consummate high-end home building company! Building a home is hard, especially when the homeowners live 2000 miles away with limited time to visit the site. Co-owner Tim Rote and Project Supervisor Joe Womack made it much easier. They communicated frequently and clearly with us, the architect, and even contacted all our future neighbors to say "let us know if you have any concerns." Who does that?!
They KNOW THEIR STUFF and they have INTEGRITY. They built our home as if were their own, and we welcome them back often, as they have become dear friends.
They warranty their work "forever." They proudly stand by their work. As they should.

Dovetail was absolutely fantastic. We were building our dream vacation home from 3000 miles away. The process was seamless. They were always available for questions, 7 days a week. Prompt responses to emails and calls. worked with our crazy schedule, even for after hours conference calls and web based design. always made it work to meet with us when we could travel out to the job site. great relationship with the architects and sub contractors.
They build a high quality product. every corner and connection is tight, flush and true. Very professional crew, always respectful and neat, amazingly clean job site. This home had many complicated features and detailed wood work that Dovetail made look easy. And they finished ahead of schedule! We have all positive things to say about Dovetail and would absolutely chose them again.

As Dovetail Construction's first custom home client, I could not be more pleased with the entire building process. From our initial interview to our meetings with the architect and on into the construction process, I knew I was dealing with competent, dedicated, committed and fun contractors. Having built homes previously, I knew that the building process can result in tension and disagreement between contractor and owner. With Dovetail, there was none of that. The end result was a beautiful, well-constructed, on-budget home that, 10 years later, we love and are proud to show to prospective Dovetail clients. I wholeheartedly and unequivocally recommend Dovetail Construction as a premier home builder in the Bozeman, Montana area.

I have known and provided banking services for Dovetail and its management for almost a decade. They are a five star company that produces a high quality product and manages their finances in a professional manner. When Tim or Kevin look you in the eye and shake your hand, whatever was agreed upon will be accomplished.

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars
Centre Sky Architecture recently completed a custom home with Dovetail Construction, located in the Cascade subdivision of Big Sky, MT. Our team at CSA was more than impressed with the Dovetail team. Their good communication made the project flow very smoothly. Along with having very knowledgeable project managers who were great to work with. This all allowed for very happy clients and a beautifully made home.
The level of craftsmanship and detail that Dovetail was able to produce was very impressive. They carried out our design seamlessly and we look forward to working with them again!

I would hire Dovetail again without hesitation. This crew is amazing. Timely. Insightful as to design and cost options. Clean. Punctual.

Building a home from 1500 miles away can present somewhat of a challenge. That being said, working with Tim Rote and Kevin Sullivan of Dovetail Construction in Bozeman MT was a great pleasure. The quality of their workmanship and the pride in which do their craft is remarkable. As we learned throughout this process, using old timbers in a mountain home project is not uncommon but putting them together seamlessly is not as common! The Dovetail crew were professional and perfectionists. The home that they built for us is a reflection of their experience and their dedication to using not only the finest quality of products but also the finest craftsmanship.
Each time we visited the building site during the construction, the team was gracious and talkative and told us how much they enjoyed working on our home. Tim and Kevin are not only a tribute to their profession but genuinely great members of their community. We could not have been happier with the selection of our builder!

Dovetail Construction performed a complete remodel of our home, (See Spring Creek home photos on Dovetails site) a challenge made more difficult by the fact that we lived 1200 miles away. Their budgets were practical and accurate, communications were detailed, timely and concise, their construction schedule was adhered to, and move in happened as planned in April. It was a "can do" attitude through out the entire project.
Dovetail is:
*Craftsmanship, communication, pride, service, and commitment, made possible by Tim R. and Kevin S. professional construction educations in civil engineering and construction management, prior work experiences, life long friendship and their commitment to their clients. They are the real McCoy.
I had been a commercial construction executive for 30 years and have experienced much. It has been a pleasure working with Dovetail. Companies like theirs are hard to find.
