Don not only accepted our project but, without any cost to us, gave us three fixed bids until we found a design we could afford. Then Don took over, drawing the plans himself so that he knew we could stay within our budget. We did! And within our budget, Don didn't hold back, building our home with an unexpected kitchen pantry, custom metal moldings for all the tile work, a custom master bedroom closet, custom wood trim on all the windows, and a custom wood ceiling in our living room--all touches that Don added because, he said, "I built your house as if I was going to live in it." We'll be thankful for Don for the rest of our lives. He's not only a thorough professional and a contractor that you can trust but one who puts his heart into his work. We're living in our dream thanks to Don Schmidt.

I wasn't the right fit for their culture and I was tired of sales so I made a career change. Their construction staff were all very skilled and preformed incredible work. They are still doing business in Jackson and Big Sky. Both are small communities and a construction company doesn't stay in business for nearly 30 years in a small community if they are dishonest or perform low quality work. Are they perfect? of course not, but from what I experience they performed very high quality work. I left in 2018, so maybe things have changed, but I have no evidence to support that. I will say that many Builders in Jackson don't need sales people because they have such strong recommendation from past clients. The fact that THB needs a sales person may speak to the fact that their reputation has slipped a little over the years. When a homeowner spends millions of dollars building a custom home, the relationship with the builder has to be strong. I saw a few instances where that relationship broke down and clients were not as happy as they could have been, but I never saw ownership do anything to dishonest. The owner can be a harsh to the staff, but that is very common in construction.

Please don't support this type of activity and ask around to confirm this in Big Sky MT. They will do anything to interfere with the job getting done to make it harder to complete in a timely manner and will use it against their workers. They closed down in Jackson Hole for that reason.

Detailed experience:…read more Last year I hired Brock Lisak to build a yurt pad on my property. After spending over $20k on the yurt pad, I had to disassemble it, I was left without a refund and Brock threatened to sue me if I reviewed him. Here are some key points of the project. 1) Issues of theft - During the project, I had provided Brock a photo of my credit card to set up a central billing account while I was out of town so he could get wood for the project. He provided that credit card to his employee who proceed to use the credit card to book equipment for jobs, buy tools for himself and materials for a drywall project for another customer. This is an ongoing matter, so I won't comment further on this topic. 2) Tools left out - After finishing the project, Brock and his team left my personal tools they used strewn about the project site. I didn't find these until the snow melted resulting in the tools being destroyed. 3) Unable to place yurt due to structural issues - The actual construction of the site was so bad that I was unable to actually put the pad to use. I have included photos of the job that show the craftsmanship. Brock blamed the poor quality on me, saying that I had micromanaged the project. There are footers that weren't secured to the concrete, the support beams weren't secured in place, they used untreated wood that began to deteriorate almost immediately and more. I have included images of their work here. This is just a small snippet of the poor craftsmanship. All of these issues were blamed on me by Brock stating that it occurred because I provided him the yurt pad plans. I finally tore down the entire yurt pad because I am unable to use it due to the pad being structurally incapable of being used safely. 4) Threatening lawsuits - After requesting a refund and being denied, I told Brock I would be writing reviews like this. Brock responded by telling me he would sue me, he was even willing to bring up the fact that I was having a new baby and a lawsuit could be damaging. I have included screenshots of this. 5) Promising a refund then not delivering - Brock stated that he would refund me, which he never did. Instead he threatened me and blamed the poor craftsmanship on me. 6) Attempts to defame me to my employees - My COO was managing Brock while I was offsite. After I had told him I'd write a review, he attempted to coerce my employee by telling him that I was not to be trusted and that he'd heard rumors about me from previous employees he spoke with. He did this unaware that the employee was telling me what he was saying while he was saying it the entire time. In total, this was an huge loss.
