What we build
One crew for the whole job list
From a backyard deck to a full garage or metal shop building, you deal with Brad's Custom Works start to finish — no handing your project off to strangers.
Garages, Shops & Metal Buildings
Detached garages, shops, barns, and barndominium-style buildings with concrete floors, garage doors with openers, and metal roofing and siding.
Steel Archways
Our signature steel archways and entry features — strong, clean, and built to make a property stand out from the road.
New Builds
Ground-up homes and structures, framed and finished with the same crew from slab to final walkthrough.
Remodels & Add-Ons
Kitchens, baths, room additions, garage conversions, entryways, and whole-home updates — including rot and framing repair done right, not covered up.
Metal Roofing & Siding
Metal roofs, steel board-and-batten siding, soffit, and trim that give an older home a clean, low-maintenance exterior.
Concrete
Slabs, driveways, and patios — the solid base under your garage, shop, or deck.
Land Clearing
Clearing and site prep so your build, driveway, or shop pad starts on solid, workable ground.
Just ask Brad

About us
Mountain Home born, jobsite raised
Brad Thurston started Brad's Custom Works to do construction the way it ought to be done around here: honest estimates, solid materials, and work you'd be proud to show the neighbors.
Today, leads Dylan and Styles and crew handle everything from custom decks, garages, and shop buildings to full metal siding and window replacements, log-cabin stonework, and rot-wall reconstruction. Big job or small repair, it's the same standard: build it like it's ours.
You'll probably meet Freya, too — Brad's dog and unofficial jobsite supervisor.
