Home Remodeling
Lewistown’s historic homes in the Lewistown Historic District, many built during the 1880s–1920s homesteading era, require specialized remodeling to preserve their Victorian, Craftsman, or Queen Anne features. We restore homes along Main Street, maintaining original woodwork or stained glass while adding modern kitchens or spa-inspired bathrooms.

Our roofing services protect homes in Spring Creek and commercial buildings along U.S. Highway 87. Learn maintenance tips in our roofing tips or spot issues with our roof replacement guide.
Commercial Construction
Lewistown’s economy, driven by agriculture (Fergus County produces 10% of Montana’s wheat), ranching, and tourism (e.g., Big Spring Creek fishing), fuels demand for commercial projects like grain storage facilities, retail spaces, and hospitality venues. We build and renovate commercial properties, from Main Street’s historic storefronts to new agricultural buildings near the Lewistown Municipal Airport. Recent projects, like the $8 million Main Street revitalization (2023–2025), highlight Lewistown’s growth. Our commercial construction services deliver durable, energy-efficient spaces compliant with local regulations. Explore our commercial renovation guide or energy-efficient construction post.
Serving Lewistown’s Unique Needs
Lewistown’s high elevation (4,165 feet) and extreme climate, with heavy snow and sub-zero winters, require construction that prioritizes insulation, snow load capacity, and durability. The Lewistown Historic District, with over 300 structures listed on the National Register of Historic Places, demands adherence to preservation standards, which our team navigates using period-appropriate materials like reclaimed brick or custom millwork. In rural areas like Spring Creek and Castle Butte, we focus on affordable, durable designs with high-efficiency HVAC systems and metal roofs, tailored for Lewistown’s agricultural families. The city’s 2024 development initiatives, with 400 new residential units planned, and its agricultural economy, supported by $12 million in infrastructure upgrades, underscore the need for quality construction. Lewistown’s tourism, boosted by Big Spring Creek (one of the largest freshwater springs in the U.S.) and events like the Montana Winter Fair, drives commercial construction for small businesses, which we support with eco-friendly designs. We comply with Montana’s 5% retainage laws and Lewistown’s building codes, ensuring transparent, high-quality projects across Fergus County.
