“We recently completed a vacation home in Grand Lake with RJ Design Homes (Ryan Johnson) as our General Contractor. The home is ~4000 sf and the cost to build was >$1M. The design is what we are calling rustic elegance with exposed timbers, moss rock, rough sawn hardwood floors, etc. but with a balance of upper end travertine, slate, and alder. The quality of construction is exceptional and Ryan's attention to detail is really what sets him apart from other builders we interviewed. Beyond the build quality, Ryan was always doing research on design elements that we wanted to incorporate but were exceptionally expensive and either finding alternative options or building what we needed himself. One of the focal points of the house is a +30 ft moss rock fireplace that Ryan hand picked the stone for and is amazing. Many of the design touches were ones that he came up witwh along the way that really add to the house (live edge counter tops in the kitchen and bar area that tie into the timber beams and granite counters). There are three large timber trusses in the great room that he designed and built that are outstanding and a really a conversation piece and then the lower level has a custom stained/acid washed concrete that is beautiful. There were a number of challenges along the way between the architects design and the engineering that didn't always work correctly but Ryan was able to find a way to resolve the issues without compromising our vision for the house. As you can tell, we are extremely pleased with Ryan and how well our project turned out.”
