A multi-million dollar custom home is more than just a project - it’s a personal legacy. Whether you're building your dream retreat or a generational estate, choosing the right home builder is one of the most important decisions you’ll make. At Ellis Builds, we’ve spent the last 23 years crafting high-end homes across Boulder County. We've learned that the most successful projects start with the right conversation.
Are you wondering what questions to ask a home contractor? If you’re interviewing custom home builders in Boulder, here are eight essential topics we recommend covering - and how we approach each one to ensure an exceptional experience and result.
Your home should reflect the way you live. We begin every conversation by listening closely to your goals, routines, and design sensibilities. Whether you’re after timeless elegance, modern efficiency, or something uniquely yours, we tailor the build to fit your life. "We want to understand how you live and what matters most to you, so we can build a home that reflects that."
With over two decades of experience and a portfolio of luxury homes in this market, Ellis Builds offers a proven path from concept to completion. Our track record includes many happy clients, repeat partnerships, and word-of-mouth referrals that speak for themselves.
We guide our clients through a well-defined, collaborative process. Whether you have a full design team or need us to help assemble one, we ensure alignment from day one. Our pre-construction planning phase eliminates guesswork and sets the stage for a smooth, efficient build.
Luxury doesn’t mean out-of-control spending. We use proven systems to provide accurate pre-construction estimates, detailed allowances, and transparent updates throughout the process. You’ll always know where your money is going, and why. "Budget clarity builds trust and great decisions."
Time is valuable, and delays are costly. We manage every milestone with foresight and discipline, identifying potential slowdowns before they happen and keeping the entire project on track.
Our homes are known for their detail, longevity, and soul. From millwork to materials, we build with intention and integrity. It’s the kind of quality that not only looks beautiful but endures over time.
We’re proud of our work and even prouder of our client relationships. When you speak with past Ellis Builds homeowners, you’ll hear about transparency, responsiveness, and a genuine partnership from start to finish.
Our commitment doesn’t end when we hand over the keys. We provide post-construction support, warranty service, and peace of mind, knowing we stand behind every home we build.
