How Our Custom
Home Comes Together
Meet in Person
Shay starts every new project with an in-person meeting. The first conversation is about you and what you're trying to build — your taste, your land, the home you've been picturing. No two custom homes are the same and no two clients are the same.
Site Walk and Estimate
We walk the property, talk through scope, and put together an honest estimate based on real materials and labor. You'll get a clear picture of cost and timeline before any work begins.
Design and Material Selection
Together we work through plans, finishes, materials, and structural decisions. Custom homes need real planning — every detail gets resolved on paper before it gets built.
Build, Slowly and Carefully
Construction happens at the pace the work deserves. Shay is on-site, the craftsmanship gets the time it needs, and you get a home built to a standard that holds up for generations.
Final Walkthrough and Sign-Off
We don't leave the project until it meets the standard you hired us for. Backed by our satisfaction guarantee.

Why Stein Builders for Your Custom Home
One Builder, Start to Finish
Shay runs every Stein Builders project personally. There is no project manager between you and the builder, and no rotating crew handling the details that matter. You hire the owner — and the owner builds the home.
Built for Generations, Not for Resale
Every Stein Builders home is built for the long view. The structural choices, material selections, and finish work are made for a home meant to stand for many generations of the same family.
Licensed, Insured, and Bonded
Stein Builders LLC is fully licensed in Montana, fully insured, and bonded. Documentation is available on request before any work begins.
Range That Fits the Project
We take projects from $20,000 renovations to $10 million estates. The same level of attention applies to a focused remodel as to a full luxury build.

New Construction FAQs
What does a custom home from Stein Builders cost?
Custom-home budgets at Stein Builders run from around $200,000 for smaller scopes up to $10 million for full luxury estates. Cost depends on size, materials, site conditions, and complexity. Shay will walk you through real numbers in person before any commitment.
How long does a custom home take to build?
Full custom homes typically take six months to three years depending on scope and complexity. Smaller builds and renovations can run as short as a month. Nothing on a Stein Builders project is rushed — the timeline reflects the level of craftsmanship the build requires.
Do you build outside of Ennis, Bozeman, and Big Sky?
Yes. Those are our primary service areas, but we have multi-state availability for the right project. Call and we'll let you know what's possible.
Can you handle a custom home on raw land?
Yes. We handle site evaluation, foundation work, and the full build from there. If permitting or land prep is needed, we'll coordinate it as part of the project.
Do you build in any particular style?
Stein Builders specializes in luxury custom homes that lean heavily on timber framing, intricate woodwork, and heritage materials. Beyond that, the design is yours — Shay's job is to build whatever you can dream into a home that lasts.
