Our Work

  • Mission Valley Barn

    Situated in the beautiful Jocko Valley, we partnered with Lupine Joinery to construct this timber trussed barn. This timeless look was built with modern practices to ensure it remains a staple on this property for generations to come.

  • Rattlesnake ADU

    In 2021 we worked with this Rattlesnake homeowner to build a custom ADU. Utilizing the limited lot size, we created this efficient modern studio apartment.

  • Turah Home

    We partnered on the framing and siding of this gorgeous new home build in Turah, MT.

Owner/CEO Dan Howell

Dan Howell started Blackfoot Builders after a decade-long career in wildland fire (including on the Helena Hotshots). He began his building experience with a high-end homebuilder in Bozeman, MT, before returning to Missoula to work independently.

“Dan is professional, kind, thoughtful, and incredibly talented. He’s also an engineering marvel. We told him we wanted an indoor climbing wall in our backyard, and he figured out every detail.” — Jen T.
