The studio · Groundwork
A construction company should show how something becomes built.
Matterhorn Construction, LLC is a Pagosa Springs builder for custom homes, design-build, and mountain remodels. We work the San Juans because we live in them — snow load, steep lots, and the last light on Pagosa Peak.

The idea
Concept
The lot is the brief. Pagosa Peak on the horizon, a dirt pad, the first machine. Before timber goes up, this is the idea standing in the weather.

Design-build
One team from schematic through punch list. Fewer handoffs, tighter budgets, a house that still looks like the drawing.
03
Remodel & addition
Opening a 1980s ranch to the peaks, adding a primary wing, rebuilding a deck that has seen too many winters.
04
Groundwork
Steep lots and long drives. Retaining walls and snow-country flashing. The work you do before the pretty pictures.

World’s deepest springs. Fourth-generation builders.
Pagosa Peak at 12,658 feet. The Mother Spring more than 1,002 feet deep, its full depth still unknown. Owner Jody Ellis brings 40+ years of professional construction experience. We live here — then we build houses that belong on these slopes.
The studioThe lot is the brief
Wind, solar, snow, access, and the view you actually want from the sink. We walk it before we draw it.
Weather is the craft
Wolf Creek snow, freeze-thaw, March wind. Roofs and flashing come first so the timber and glass can last.
One crew, one conversation
Design-build means the people who bid the steel are in the room when we talk about the glass. Fewer surprises.
