Building a home while living out of state can present some challenges. Barker Custom Homes helped us through every step of the building process, answering our questions, sharing photos and communicating with us at a frequency with which we felt comfortable. Lee and Alex helped us make the most of our visits when we traveled to Colorado before and during construction. The relationships they maintain with subcontractors in northern Colorado helped keep our project on schedule. After we moved in, Lee and Alex kept in contact with us to see that we were satisfied with our home. If you are looking for a builder that is committed to your project, knowledgeable and current about home construction, sustainability and new materials, we are confident in recommending Lee Barker Builder.

When my wife and I decided to build a new home, we wanted to work with someone who, of course, had years of experience in the industry, and who had well-established sub-contractors known for their reliability and performance. We interviewed 8 or 9 builders, but knew as soon as we met Lee that he was the GC we wanted. Having designed the home myself, I didn't need or want to have a large home building company redirecting or undermining the architectural nuances and uniqueness of what I wanted to achieve. My wife and I wanted to work more intimately with Lee (and his son Alex) in the construction of the home so that my design goals were not lost in translation and that any "hurdles" could be addressed more efficiently and collaboratively; this is often not the case with larger builders who have multiple levels of direction with foremen and site managers, etc. Lee's operation is well organized and proficient. With close and consistent interaction with his customers, he is able to provide an accurate estimate of costs, as well as maintain a respectable timeline for the build. After the build, Lee remains responsive to questions and concerns, making every effort to address them in a timely manner. For his experience, professionalism, and his work ethic, we highly recommend Lee Barker for the construction or remodel of your home.

We were fortunate to have found and selected Lee and Alex for the construction of our mountain homestead.

Their reputation and selection of a quality, efficient team of subcontractors allowed us to finish the home on schedule and within budget. My family sincerely thanks them for a low-stress construction operation and a smooth transition into our mountain dream home. We are very happy with the finished product and appreciate the results of their hard work every day. We highly recommend Barker Custom Homes for your custom home construction or remodeling needs.

After several meetings with Lee Barker, we knew we had the right fit in a contractor. Lee worked with us to first come up with a budget, plan and timetable we could live with comfortably. He was great about coming up with ideas and suggestions along the way that would save money and make our home more energy efficient. He knew when it made sense to spend a little extra or where to cut back and save. Lee worked closely with us, making sure we understood the construction process, always answering our [questions] and concerns, sitting down with us every month to go over the budget, line by line, so we always knew where we stood. The result is a wonderful home that is beyond our expectations. Lee is the best.

My wife and I wanted to build a new custom home in Colorado while we were living in England, an interesting task! Our requirements were high both in specifications and some extraordinary and contemporary custom features. Lee Barker worked tirelessly with ourselves to create our dream home. He helped us right along the whole process from appointing an award-winning local architect through to choosing the materials, products and the specialist contractors with whom he had obvious great working relationships. The result is everything we could have wished for and it was a real pleasure to work with Lee on the project.

Working with Lee at Barker Custom Homes has been a delight. He understood our vision of a truly sustainable home from the beginning and had the know-how to make it a reality. He was a source of practical information so our home is as truly comfortable as it is green-built. His communication skills made the building process as painless as possible. He also worked closely with all the sub-contractors to assure their work would be of the best quality while being competitively priced. We have been thoroughly pleased with our experience and highly recommend Lee Barker Builder.

We built a full custom home with Lee Barker a few years ago, and could not be happier with the results, as well as the process he used to get us there. Lee is a great planner, very organized, always calm, especially when issues come up, and led us through the experience with no surprises. Along the way, Lee had valuable suggestions and ideas for our house, and was always available to consult with us as we made our many decisions. Having built a house with another builder before we met Lee, we fully appreciate how fortunate we were to have him working for us.

We hired Lee Barker in August 2015 to do our main floor remodel and add a covered patio. We had to wait till Jan. 2016 before he could start our project. It was worth the wait. He did a fabulous job for us. He was professional and worked hard at getting all the sub contractors on our job. After a year long project it's done and we are enjoying every minute in our home. If we were ever to remodel again or build a new home Lee Barker is the builder that we would want. We highly recommend his firm.

Vendor Testimonial

I have had the pleasure of being part of Lee's team since 2008, focusing on the finish carpentry in his beautifully crafted homes. I grew up in the construction world and know that few builders can execute a custom home build and all the details the way that Lee does. He takes it seriously, andcarefully making sure to blend us as independent contractors and our tasks to the needs of the customer, leading to the absolute best product. He is careful to source the best products and practices but also talented and conscientious tradesmen. The pace at which we all live has become too fast; construction moves even faster! Lee and Alex make sure to slow it down out of concern for the product but also for a positive work environment for the tradesmen to do their best. When we had the opportunity to build our forever home, Lee stepped up and made it all go smoothly. I can highly recommend Lee as a great communicator and custom home builder. Thanks for your help on our home and the ongoing relationship.
