01 · Services
Everything from the first sketch
to the final walkthrough.
General contracting under a Utah B100 license, with design and construction under one roof, so nothing gets lost in the handoff and no one gets to point fingers. Residential, commercial, and the work in between.
Residential
Basement Finishes
Unfinished square footage turned into bedrooms, a theater, or a place for the family to land. Egress, framing, mechanical and finish, permitted and inspected.
Additions
More room without moving. Structure, rooflines and finishes that look like they were always there, not bolted on later.
Custom Homes
Ground-up homes built to last. Thoughtful detailing, sound structure, and finishes chosen to look right for decades, not just on handover day.
Short-Term Rentals & ADUs
Garage-to-casita conversions, accessory dwellings and rental suites designed to earn their keep. I build for the guest and the pro forma at the same time.
Decks & Exterior
Decks, covered patios, hot tub platforms and exterior repairs. Built for the climate they live in, from red rock heat to Wasatch snow.
Commercial
Commercial Build-Outs
Tenant improvements, retail and office finish-outs, and small commercial buildings. My B100 covers commercial work with no project value cap.
Flex Space
Industrial man caves, shops, studios and hybrid work-and-play buildings. Purpose-built spaces for people whose needs don't fit a standard floor plan.
Airwall Repair
Operable partitions that stick, sag, leak sound or won't stack. I diagnose and repair airwalls in ballrooms, conference centers, schools and offices. The first walkthrough and condition report are on me.
Planning & Advisory
Design From Scratch
Concept through construction documents. Start with a blank page and an honest conversation about budget, then design toward it, not away from it.
Consulting
Feasibility, budget and scope review with an investor's eye. Useful before you buy, before you commit, or when a project has gone sideways and needs a straight answer.
Owner's Rep & Development
Land, entitlements and development, from the builder's side of the table. I represent owners and investors through feasibility, approvals, bids and construction.
02 · Approach
Beautiful and
value-conscious
are not opposites.
Most builders make you choose. Good design usually means blowing the budget; staying on budget usually means it ends up looking like everything else. That trade-off is a failure of planning, not a law of physics.
Talk Through Your Project-
01
Problems, solved properly
Odd lot, awkward structure, impossible budget, a mess someone else left behind. The harder the problem, the more worth doing it is.
-
02
An investor's perspective
Every dollar is weighed against what it returns: in resale, in rental yield, or in how much you'll actually enjoy the space. Spend where it counts, save where it doesn't show.
-
03
Design and build together
When the same person draws it and builds it, the drawings are buildable and the budget is real. No change-order theater.
-
04
Straight answers
You'll hear what something actually costs and what it actually takes, including when the honest answer is that you shouldn't do it.
03 · About
Raised on job sites.
Trained on
the numbers.
I'm Stetson Blackmore: licensed general contractor, licensed real estate agent, and the one name behind everything on this site.
Work With Me
I grew up in St. George on my family's job sites. Before I could drive I was running trackhoes and backhoes, pouring flatwork, and framing walls: twelve years in the field, watching subdivisions come out of raw desert. I didn't learn construction from a textbook. I learned it from the seat of the machine.
Then I went and got the textbook anyway: a degree in Economics and Mathematics from the University of Utah, built around game theory, probability, and risk. From there, three years in land acquisition for a regional homebuilder. Feasibility studies, entitlements, budgets, bid leveling, and development agreements negotiated with cities. I've seen how the big builders make their money, and exactly where projects go wrong.
That's the background behind the license. I hold Utah's B100, the broadest general contracting license the state issues, and I'm a licensed real estate agent. Few builders carry both. It's why "an investor's perspective" isn't a slogan here: when I tell you a remodel will earn its money back, that's underwriting, not a sales pitch.
Beyond my own projects, I'm one of the leaders of the Builder Collective at Spark Realty, where we help independent builders stand up operations of their own, and I'm an active member of ULI Utah and its Young Leaders mentorship program. I stay close to the industry so my clients don't have to.

Where I spend the rest of my time
Staying close to the people who decide how Utah gets built: city staff, planners, and the next crop of developers. It's how I know what a jurisdiction will actually approve before I draw it.

04 · Where I Build
Three markets. One standard.
I work the length of the state: the Wasatch Front, the mountain towns of the Wasatch Back, and the St. George area where I grew up. Same license, same standard, same person answering the phone.
Salt Lake Metro
The Wasatch Front, from Ogden and Davis County through Salt Lake and Utah County.
Wasatch Back
Park City, Heber, Midway, Coalville and the surrounding mountain communities.
St. George Metro
Where I grew up and learned the trade. Washington County and the surrounding Southern Utah communities.
Building somewhere else in Utah? Ask: the answer is often yes.
05 · Selected Work
Built, not staged.
Real projects, delivered and photographed. Every home here has a name, an address, and an owner who would take my call.

you're building.
Send over the details and I'll get back to you personally. If it's easier to talk it through, call: you'll reach me, not a call center.
