Top of the Top Custom Home
Scott Johnson and Big River Builders is the top of the top when it comes to custom home building! I have built and remodeled quite a few homes and my experiences with Scott are by far the best of my career. He worked with me from the start alongside the architect to design and build a beautiful house within my budget. The quality that Scott and his team produced far outweighs any project I have done with other builders and did so while always being sensitive to controlling cost and meeting budget. I can't say enough about how thoughtful Scott is around quality, making sure that every little thing comes out perfect. I would use Big River again in a heartbeat!

Interior Design
We worked on an extensive remodel with Big River Builders and could not be happier with every aspect of the project. We were especially impressed with their incredible level of detail and communication throughout the project. We are a design firm and LOVE that the contractor utilizes our drawings and executes them brilliantly, as BRB did! We highly recommend them for any construction project and hope to continue to work with them in the future!

We Absolutely Love Our Home
I would like to share our amazing experience with Big River Builders. We have primarily worked with Todd Hunter who has remodeled and also added on significant new construction to our home. We wish every homeowner could have such a talented craftsman and project manager as Todd. Todd expects nothing less than perfection from himself and his team, Luis and Rigo. Perfect is my favorite word especially in construction and that is very hard if not impossible to come by. Todd is immaculate in his work. If you have something challenging or difficult, bring it on. That makes Todd very happy. He loves to create beautiful solutions and creations and he made us marvel at the incredible job he did. We have built a couple of homes in other states and it is difficult to find someone with the workmanship and ownership that he puts into everything he does. Here in Utah ( oh how we love Utah, we are just a few minutes away from the Park City area, and it is so gorgeous) we have worked with Todd and his team on 3 major projects now, one all new construction, two large home remodels and addition of new construction, a large driveway and beautiful barn, and could not be happier. We can always count on Todd to deliver a beautiful job. In addition to his workmanship and managerial attributes, he is extremely professional, easy to work with, kind, a good sense of humor, a good listener, and has a strong value system. His team, Luis and Rigo are very artistic as well and hard working. Thank you Todd and team!! We absolutely love our home!!!

Great Experience
Working with Big River Builders has been great experience. They are clear communicators, detail oriented and locally based. Their team brings a collective wealth of knowledge to the table which they share generously.

Done Right The First Time
Scott is the consummate professional. His communication skills, and his scope of home building knowledge is unmatched in my opinion. If you demand something to be done right the first time, go with Scott and his team. You won't be disappointed.

Skill, Craftmanship, Attention to Detail
We have had our house in Park City for almost 20 years, and we would never even consider undertaking a home-related project – no matter how big or small – without first calling and consulting/coordinating with Todd Hunter. Todd is simply the best. Period. His skill, craftsmanship and attention to detail are only surpassed by his integrity and sense of personal responsibility. He sets the standard by which all other house managers (and any other service providers, for that matter) should be measured.

Colony Full Scale Renovation
We were fortunate to have found Big River Builders to lead the extensive remodel of our mountain home in Park City. They were very responsive to our needs, creative problem solvers, easy to work with, and made every effort to meet deadlines. They also have a bench of highly qualified subcontractors that they can summon on short notice. Very highly recommended.

Best Company Ever
We have done many renovations over the years, some major, and Big River Builders is by far the best company ever with whom to work. They are organized, professional, and excellent problem solvers, which is the most important skill in renovations. They have a great crew, some of whom have spent alot of time in our house. They also seem to have priority with excellent subcontractors, who move projects along quickly. We have done now 4 projects with Big River and are very pleased.

Quality and Reliable Builder
In 2017, Todd Hunter and his team built our home in Park City. It was our first time getting a custom house built in an area that is known to have a lot of snow in the winters. It was an ambitious house with floating staircase, a roofline that curved, wood and concrete floorings that had to look a certain way, and windows placement to allow for energy efficiency. Throughout the whole process of our questions and "what-ifs", Todd used his deep knowledge, research (if he wasn't sure) and logic to work through the solutions step by step, each time. Within a year, a very air-tight, 4500 sq ft house was built very close to original budget. 8 years have passed but Todd is still a phone call away whenever we have questions; he will stop by to help or call someone to help if other expertise is needed. Quality and reliable builder is how we would label Todd and his team.

Park Meadows Renovation
Big River Build recently completed a renovation of our home in Park Meadows, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. Their professionalism, clear communication, and commitment to quality were evident throughout the entire process. The project was completed within the promised timeframe, and the results exceeded our expectations. Scott was a pleasure to work with—his integrity, transparency, and dedication gave us complete confidence from start to finish. We highly recommend Big River Build for their reliability, craftsmanship, and exceptional service.

Five Stars is Inadequate
Big River Builders @ToddHunter, we love the custom home you built for us. We’ve never experienced another builder with as much knowledge, experience, expertise, patience, or attention to detail. 5-Star Review is inadequate. You earned much more including our trust and repeat business. No one else comes close.

Within Budget, On Schedule
Worked with Scott and company recently on a major home remodel and had a great experience. Very impressed with his professional yet cordial demeanor, and that of his team. All contract work was handled as planned, within budget, and on schedule. Very pleased with the great lengths taken to keep construction site tidy and to minimize the impact of the project while we resided in place. Couldn't be happier with their work -- are planning on working with Big River Builders again this spring on a second project.

Legacy Properties
Originally I had planned to use a contractor from out of state that I knew well, I am so pleased that I changed plans and went with Big River Builders. Their local knowledge and quality sub contractors were a huge plus. My tear down and build project was not easy. Built into the side of a mountain, many considerations, customizations and changes had to be done on the fly. From welding the massive steel beams to the angled 30' posts to large format custom floor tiling; Todd handled these customizations with his thoughtful solutions. Lynn, the excavator, did an admirable job turning the steep lot into a useable build-site and burying all the overhead utilities. I am extremely happy with the quality of the work and the glowing comments I receive from my family and friends. Big River does deliver on their customer focus and building legacy properties.

Basement Remodel
Highly recommend Big River Builders! Can’t give enough props to these guys regarding their eye for detail, craftsmanship, professionalism and communication. They carried out a complicated interior remodel in our basement and I was honestly beside myself with how well it turned out. Working with Scott was a real pleasure. Won’t hesitate approaching BRB with future projects. 5 stars!!!

Luxury Bathroom Renovation
Big River Builders is simply outstanding. They do what they say they will do and communicate updates, changes and issues on a timely basis. The quality of their work is top notch. They recently completed a bathroom remodel for us and the result exceeded our expectations.

Meticulous, Efficient, Honest
When I had a fire sprinkler break and flood at my home that destroyed 2/3 of my home, I asked Scott to lead the rebuild. He was meticulous, efficient, and honest. He used the Builder Trend Application, so I knew exactly what was happening at all times. The final product of my rebuild was an example of his perfectionism.
