Quality, Integrity, Value, Responsive, Creative, Multi-talented, Thoughtful, Caring. These are words that come to mind when I think of Kelcey and Tawnya Bingham, owners of Bear Mountain Builders. Building a new home is not for the faint of heart, especially in Montana. Kelcey and Tawnya provided guidance, suggestions and needed information to help us in this major investment from start to finish. Building on the mountain requires additional knowledge because of extreme weather. They have it! Tawnya and Kelcey are much more than just general contractors. Although they routinely work with interior designers, they negated the necessity for us to hire one. Tawnya was all we needed. She took the time and effort to make multiple trips with us to choose tile, granite, flooring, etc, always providing her recommendations when asked. Kelcey is extremely innovative which allowed us to make the house unique in it's build, while tying everything seamlessly together. Examples include the fireplace wall (floor to high ceiling) and using fragments of the huge overhead exterior beams to showcase in the powder room. Their talents are immense, while still keeping an eye on budget and costs. Kelcey and Tawnya are personable and they care. We were always kept abreast of progress, changes, and status with monthly reports. Subcontractors utilized by them were first rate. Bear Mountain also stepped up in other ways that was over and above the norm. When we had an offer to purchase our townhome, there were a few remediations necessary to close the sale. They provided subcontractors during Montana's hectic summer months to address all issues, at a time when trying to secure these type of people through our own efforts would have been impossible in the timeframe the buyers of the townhome wanted. They ensured we closed the sale so we could focus on our new home. In conclusion, I heartily recommend Bear Mountain Builders, as they provide value and ingenuity throughout the entire process. And most importantly, they are there for their clients to assist with any issues that might arise during the first year from a new build. Thoughtful, innovative...the best!!

In 2017, Bear Mountain Builders began construction on our home in Whitefish, Montana. Now that we are seeing the finished product and have gone through the process, we can say without hesitation that we made the right choice in builders.
From the time we met them and saw their work, we always had a great feeling about their abilities and trustworthiness. They certainly did not disappoint. Aside from picking out a few things, we agreed on a budget and left it to them. They acquainted themselves with our style and basically took it from there.
We honestly cannot think of enough good things to say about Bear Mountain. All of the glowing reviews you see here are spot on. If you are considering building in this area, you need look no further for a contractor. They will leave you wanting to do it again!

We have been involved with Bear Mountain Builders on numerous high profile projects with exceptional quality and innovation.
Bear Mountain has an elite design and management team with a wide range of experience in varying styles of architecture. The diversity of BMB's construction landscape ranges from waterfront to alpine locations. This kind of diversity requires a solid depth and breadth of experience which is possessed by the BMB team.
BMB operates a lean and efficient organization allowing them to be a highly competitive high end builder.
It is always a pleasure to be involved in one of their projects

Exceptional service, workmanship and integrity: that's how I would describe Bear Mountain Builders.
Working with Kelcey and Tawnya of Bear Mountain Builders is a pleasure. As a freelance designer in the area I strive to be the best, and while working closely with Kelcey and Tawnya and their team I've come to admire the professionalism, attention to detail, and creativity that Bear Mountain Builders offers families who are building their dream home. Kelcey and Tawnya strive to build a quality home within the owner's budget, and they are strait forward and keep you on track with realistic concepts, ideas and building costs.

Bear Mountain Builders exceeded my expectations from design to completion. Their level of expertise and attention to detail are unsurpassed. What impressed me the most is that they put as much care in to the building of my home as they would with a client spending millions of dollars. We were under budget and moved in two months ahead of schedule yet nothing was overlooked. I highly recommend Bear Mountain Builders to anyone whether you are looking to build a traditional home or the latest in modern innovation.

Kelcey and Tawnya built our custom home in beautiful Whitefish, MT. They are an excellent team and play off each other's talents and expertise to build magnificent homes on time and on budget. If you are looking for an honest, reliable builder for your custom home you need to look no further. The quality, craftsmanship and value can not be matched by any other builder in the area.

Over the years, we have returned to vacation in Montana on an almost annual basis and decided that this is where we wanted to retire. We purchased a beautiful mountain lot overlooking the Flathead valley and set out to find someone to help us realize our dream. We wanted to build the right house for the location and it needed to fit our lifestyle. We were sensitive to cost and since we lived in another state, we needed someone that could work with us long distance and had the experience to build on the mountain.
After having interviewed various builders that had been recommended to us, we selected Kelcey and Tawnya of Bear Mountain Builders. From the very beginning, they proved to be honest, sincere, and in tune with our needs and concerns. They handled the unforeseeable issues that arose with our particular lot and helped us navigate the endless decisions that come with building a house. This included advise on how to maximize the attributes of the lot, where we could spend our money to have the most positive impact, and what colors and materials balanced our tastes. Throughout the process, they did a fantastic job at discerning matters that would be important to us, made adjustments based on our needs, all the while helping us to control our costs.
We feel like we just built a house with some friends and we can truly say that we could not have hoped for a better experience. The result is a beautiful mountain home that our entire family loves and enjoys and will for many, many years to come.

We chose Bear Mountain Builders in the summer of 2012 for our new home project. Our home design is modern (rare for the area) and Bear Mountain had experience but also a bunch of ideas that complimented ours before and during the project. We utilized Bear Mountain for a lot of details we didn't have time to finish with the architect on the front end. They designed and built floating staircase, custom hand rails, custom steel on fireplace, custom steel on main hallway ceiling and more. This is our third house we have built, and by far our favorite!
