About Great Divide Home Builders
Rob Martin, owner of Great Divide Home Builders has been building
custom homes for over 30 years. With a background in
architecture and the skill that comes with many years of experience,
our homes are not only beautiful and functional but meticulous in
detail.
If you’re thinking of building your dream home, you might have a
picture of that home in your mind. You’ve probably even
collected a few photos of different architectural or design elements
you like: a sprawling front porch, an airy cook’s kitchen, a
loft with a family room. But is it possible to make all the
ideas you’ve collected work together? How will you know if
that porch, kitchen and loft can be combined into a cohesive design?
That’s where we at Great Divide Home Builders come in. Because
we do all our own design work using three-dimensional software, you
can see exactly how your custom home looks before we ever break
ground at the building site. We work very carefully on our plans
working towards nice, open, flowing plans that reflect the artistic
vision of the home owner. We at Great Divide also pay close
attention to the trend toward homes that have less environmental
impact meeting or exceeding Energy Star efficiency standards.
The results are houses that are incredibly workable and suited to
Montana’s environment and landscape.

TESTIMONIALS
From Richard and Judy
"We found Rob's work
to be of unsurpassed quality with exceptional attention paid to
detail. Door hardware and bath accessories were matched to the
lighting fixtures we chose. Adjustments were made in the kitchen
cabintry and plumbing fixtures to fit with the appliances we chose.
The fireplace was finished according to our wishes, and the door
styles chosen matched the architectural features of the home.
We were able to work
with Rob largely through e-mail and phone over a distance of 1200
miles. When we arrived in Helena, our new home was exactly what we
had envisioned."

Dear Rob
I wanted to thank you for the great job you did remodeling/adding on to our house and building the deck. This has been the easiest building process I have ever experienced and I have built many homes. Living in southern California and being able to trust someone 1200 miles away is difficult but you had that trust and delivered a quality product. The quality of your work is outstanding and the attention to detail exemplary. Your bid was fair and complete and the only change orders were for changes I requested. You also delivered when you said you would even when the road conditions were bad. You were also very helpful with ideas to make the addition have the same feel and look as the rest of the house. Thank you again for your hard work and please feel free to use me as a reference anytime.
Sincerely,
Randal W. Rose, Ph.D.
