About Ponderosa BuildersMichael Hale, the principal at Ponderosa Builders, takes an honest and mindful approach to your building project. Ponderosa offers a collaborative approach to working with your architect, or we can arrange a meeting with one of the excellent architects that we have worked with on other projects. With our extensive knowledge in fine home building, we offer a full service experience from start to finish. Although we perform a number of the disciplines ourselves, we also have a time-tested team of sub contractors and craftsmen that, in our opinion, are the best in the area. The building of a home is an intimate and very personal experience. This can be either the experience of a lifetime, which will resonate in the home itself, or it can be a challenging endeavor. Our goal at Ponderosa is to bring spirit, intention, communication and relationship, with the entire team, the process and the home owner. A home, like a human, is a living, breathing organism. Care in using quality materials, exceptional architectural design concepts, and an eye to details, assure a home that has life giving properties. ......................................................... A Ponderosa home is always solid, well-built, attuned to detail, and a pleasure to live in. Give us a call and let us build your next home. |

Michael Hale grew up around fine craftsmanship. At the age of ten he started an apprenticeship in woodworking with a neighborhood master. He continued through his young teen years, apprenticing in various forms of residential construction and cabinet/furniture making in both Seattle and Alaska. Over the last 30 years, he has lost count of the number of projects he has been involved with in the Durango area, and is proud of the relationships forged through the years in devotion to his trade. From tiny homes crafted to inspire a nautical voyage to 20,000 square foot mansions, Michael brings an attentiveness to detail and a level of awareness to building that will make your next project shine. |
