Sarah & Tom R.
Custom Home · Boulder, CO
We saved over $82,000 building our home as owner-builders. Wells Construction Group made a process that felt impossible feel completely manageable. Marcus was available every time we had a question — and we had a lot of them. I can't recommend them enough.
We were terrified going in. Neither of us had any construction background, and the idea of managing contractors, permits, and a budget felt overwhelming. Marcus walked us through every single step. By the end, we felt like we actually understood what was happening on our own job site.

Mountain Retreat · Evergreen, CO
I was terrified of being taken advantage of by contractors. Having an advocate in my corner changed everything. They caught two bad bids that would have cost me dearly — one contractor had inflated his materials estimate by nearly 40%.
The contractor vetting process alone was worth every penny. Marcus reviewed every bid side by side and flagged things I never would have caught. I ended up with a great crew at a fair price, and the build came in under budget.
Jennifer & Paul K.
Custom Home · Fort Collins, CO
The roadmap they gave us was worth every penny. We knew exactly what was coming, when, and how much it would cost. No surprises — just a beautiful home.
We had tried to start the owner-builder process on our own and quickly got lost in the permit requirements alone. Wells Construction Group gave us a clear, step-by-step plan and stayed with us the entire way. Our home came in on time and $91,000 under what a GC had quoted us.
Diana & Robert M.
Spec Home · Longmont, CO
Marcus has a gift for explaining complex construction concepts in plain English. We never felt lost or out of our depth. He made us feel like capable, informed owners — because we were.
We were building a spec home as an investment and needed to keep costs tight. Marcus helped us find the right trades, negotiate fair contracts, and track every dollar. The project came in on schedule and significantly under the GC quotes we had received.

ADU Addition · Denver, CO
Even for a smaller project like our ADU, the guidance was invaluable. The permit process alone would have taken me months to figure out on my own. Wells Construction Group had us approved in six weeks.
I was skeptical that I needed help for an ADU — it seemed straightforward. But the permitting requirements in Denver are genuinely complex, and Marcus knew exactly what was needed and in what order. We saved significant money and avoided what could have been a very frustrating experience.
Lisa & Greg W.
Custom Home · Castle Rock, CO
We saved over $110,000 compared to the GC bids we received. That money went straight into finishes and features we never thought we could afford. Our home is exactly what we dreamed of.
We interviewed three general contractors before finding Wells Construction Group. The GC bids ranged from $680,000 to $740,000. We built the same home as owner-builders for $570,000 — and it turned out better than any of the GC proposals because we had full control over every decision.
