Justin Stratman
Owner, Artisan Builders
After finishing college in 1997, I moved to the San Juan Mountains, living in Telluride and Ridgway. When I moved to the area, I was hired as a project manager to oversee custom home construction by Glen Harcourt of Steeprock Builders. During the years I worked with Steeprock Builders, we designed and built many beautiful custom homes, forming lasting relationships with our clients and one another. I hold that experience close to my heart and find myself still collaborating with others that were part of the Steeprock family, including designing with architect Steven Jallad to build numerous custom homes and ranch properties in the Telluride area.
Artisan Builders was born in 2007 and has since flourished, building and remodeling homes in a style that may be categorized as modern rustic to mountain modern.
I was born into a family rooted in craftsmanship. My father and grandfathers gifted me talents and knowledge that make me who I am today. I am indebted to them and all the other teachers and craftsmen that have been a part of my life over the years. The respect I pay to them is in the work I put forth.
Designing and building… It is my occupation and my preoccupation. In creating Artisan Builders I have found my calling. For this, I am truly grateful.
