Our Story
About Harpster Built
Decades of craftsmanship, one builder at a time. We're not a big corporation — we're a Montana builder who takes pride in every project.
The Man Behind the Hammer
I'm Tim Harpster. For decades I've run Madison Construction & Restoration here in Montana. I've built custom homes, log homes, ranch projects, and remodels — the kind of work that demands precision, integrity, and a reputation you earn job by job.
Now I'm expanding under Harpster Built Co. — same values, same work ethic, same commitment to doing things right. I don't hide behind a screen. I'm the same guy who shows up in the snow, the mud, the early mornings, and the late nights to finish a project the right way.
If you're wondering whether this business is real or whether I'm real — go take a look at my work. The proof is in the projects we've completed, the clients who trust us, and the homes that will stand for generations.
