Mountain Homes

We breathe new life into mountain homes — inside and out. From reimagining interiors to updating siding, roofing, and exterior finishes, we give these homes the refresh they deserve.

Expanding your home should feel seamless — not like an afterthought. We build additions that blend beautifully with the existing structure, whether it’s a new bedroom, a light-filled office, or a spacious deck for maximizing outdoor living. Every detail is designed to support the way you live and make your home feel more complete.

Ranch Properties

We’ve worked on some of Colorado’s most beautiful ranches - preserving value and improving function.  From homes, barns and bunkhouses to pavilions and creekside crossings, we know how to work with the land. Whether it’s a private retreat, a high-end outfitting lodge, or a legacy property, we bring its full potential to life.

About Us

We Build Beautiful Spaces

At Bontrager Building, every project is personal. For Eric Bontrager, building has never been just a job. It’s something he’s lived and breathed for decades.

​

With a background in framing and finish carpentry, Eric doesn't just manage crews — he builds alongside them. That hands-on foundation is what sets him apart. He considers the whole picture and his mind is always solving, planning and figuring out how to bring a vision to life.

​

Over the past 20 years, Eric has led everything from improving high-end ranch properties to multi-million dollar remodels on the slopes of Vail and Beaver Creek. As a project manager, he guides projects from first sketch to final punch list — always with a sharp eye, honest communication, and a commitment to doing things right.

​

Clients don’t just hire Eric for his skill, they hire him because he listens, communicates, and treats every project like it’s his own.

​

Bontrager Building is intentionally small. Every client works directly with Eric. Every detail gets his attention and every project is built with integrity.
