Tall Pines Construction

Our family is completely blown away with the Tall Pines team and our construction experience. Garrett, Lance, Dustin and the rest of the Tall Pines team are professional, honest, hard working and highly communicative. Our project was delivered on-time and on-budget with smiles and hugs along the way! Every challenge that we faced was quickly identified and presented with healthy solutions. In addition to the strength of the Tall Pines crew, we appreciated the cast of sub-contractors that put all the puzzle pieces together. EVERY sub-contractor delivered an outstanding product/service with a positive attitude and a "get this done right" attitude. The relationships we forged with Tall Pines and the sub-contractors truly gives us peace of mind. Everyone is just a text away AND responds quickly even a year after completion. We are eternally grateful to Tall Pines and look forward to doing our next project with them! The Sikora Family Silver Creek, Park City

Tall Pines construction (Garrett Strong) is very experienced at building high quality, high end custom homes. Their repertoire and breadth of experience is broad. They did a wonderful job on our complete gut remodel. But it’s Garrett’s character that will make you want to work with them. Home building is not for the faint of heart and inevitably there will be bumps in the road. You want someone on your side who is honest, trustworthy, hardworking and looking out for your best interest. We have met with and worked with contractors who weren’t like that and it’s very stressful, obviously. Even 4 years later, Garrett still answers my questions about the house (paint colors, materials, etc) as if we are part of the Tall Pines family for life. :)

We worked with Tall Pines Construction on a significant addition to our home and extensive landscaping project. The first thing that we would share is: We would be happy to work with this wonderful group of people again. Tall Pines managed our project with attention to detail and respect for a timely completion. We lived out of state during much of this project, and we received updates via email and text regularly. Our questions were answered immediately. While we worked with an architect on the plan for our addition, Tall Pines and their subs made many excellent suggestions for enhancing the original plan. Any challenges they encountered were brought to us immediately with a proposed solution. Tall Pines and their subcontractors made every attempt to keep the surroundings tidy, which was important in a mature neighborhood. As the general contractor, Tall Pines managed the quality of the work so that was done to our standard of quality, and they addressed any concerns quickly. They billed us with excellent detail/backup on each invoice. The job they completed was really beautiful addition and ouTdoor space. It is working well for our lifestyle and needs. And it is timeless. We can honestly say that we miss working with Garrett, Lance and the rest of the team. We are grateful to have worked this company.

I have been LOVING and living in my Park City, UT custom home for 4 years, built with integrity by Tall Pines Construction. Whenever I meet someone who is planning on remodeling or building a house , I enthusiastically recommend my contractor. How often do you find that scenario? I interviewed at least 4 contractors and 4 architects before I made my selection. It was wonderful that they had worked together on several homes before mine. Tall Pines construction built my dream home with my 4 goals in mind: sustainable, low maintenance, made in American/recycled/upcycled material, and budget friendly. I can never move because I will NEVER find a home like this again!

Garrett and his team are absolutely fantastic. My wife and I hired Tall Pines to construct our custom designed retirement/vacation home. It was a complex, modern design with oversized windows, stone columns, storey pole siding, unique ceilings throughout, level 5 drywall finish, and much more. Garrett's close relationship with the various trades was apparent throughout the 18 month build and subsequent "punch list" type items. He was constantly in touch with us throughout the process, meeting frequently to discuss "next-phase" decisions, review progress and update us on the budget. This was particularly important as we lived in Michigan during the Park City, Utah build with only occasional visits. Ultimately, his guidance guaranteed that the project maintained a good cadence and pace. He connected us with a designer who he works closely with as well and Christa Pirl was also excellent and the two of them worked seamlessly together for a fun, exciting and pleasant building experience. Garrett is straightforward, honest and thoughtful which made working through the myriad of cost/benefit decisions and the inevitable "surprises" that come with large projects as conflict and stress free as possible. Garrett's cost estimates were highly accurate given the desired quality level throughout, such that for the vast majority of materials, appliances, lighting, and hardware, we had a wide array of options without the need for constant up charge conversations. Tall Pine's commitment to making sure we were 100% satisfied with our new home has been readily apparent during the post construction "punch list" process that despite lockdowns and the "Year of Covid" were completed. In summary, Garrett cares. He cares about his clients, his team, his contractors, and the home.

We recommend Tall Pines Construction without hesitation. Tall Pines was our General Contractor for a home build in Park City and every step of the way they helped make a complex and dynamic project proceed smoothly. We felt that every aspect of the project was handled professionally and to our great satisfaction - budget, scheduling, communication, interior design, quality of work and all subcontractors and overall project management. Garrett Strong and his staff were very easy to work with and helped find creative solutions to the inevitable challenges which were resolved to everyone's satisfaction. Thanks to Tall Pines we have a beautiful new home!

Tall Pines is the best contractor in Park City. Very easy to work with and completely professional. Their quality and attention to detail are unmatched. We built an extremely custom home and they worked with us at every level to provide excellent advice and top notch sub contractors. They work so hard on behalf of their clients and are very motivated to build you the home of your dreams. Can't recommend Tall Pines enough you will not be dissapointed.

Garrett and his team were great on our new construction project. They were on schedule, on budget and added extra value with design ideas and creative solutions to issues as they arose. The quality of the finished product was perfect.

Tall Pines was wonderful from start to finish. They helped decide that the lot we wanted would be suitable for the build. They met with the designers and us regularly. The decorator they use was a huge help saving us time selecting items, knowing out budget, and making sure there was design continuity. The project manager was available at all times, gave good suggestions, and helped save money. The subs were top notch and timely. Our build went smoothly and without delays despite occurring during a heavy snow winter. We heartily recommend Tall Pines to anyone building a home.

Tall Pines construction built our Family a Fantastic, Forever Mountain Home. Our experience with Garret Strong and his Tall Pines Team, was flawless from start to finish. Garret took us through the design process with the architect. His Knowledge and Creativity is second to none. The build of our Home was fun and stress free. Garett has a great team working with him on all his projects. His sub contractors are highly qualified and sought after. We highly recommend Tall Pines Construction. My wife Paula and I believe you won’t find a more honest, creative, talent in the building business. Bill and Paula Rawson Oakley, Utah

Tall Pines built our forever home, our primary residence, in Park City UT during 2019 and 2020. We love the house every day, and we are super grateful to have been able to work with such a quality and caring builder. We had a great working relationship, with solid communication during the project. The house was finished within the projected time frame, and we were close enough on the budget. It was a team effort and we wanted to be fairly involved in many aspects of the project - and Tall Pines was welcoming and accommodating to our involvement. Building a house can be stressful at times, but we had fun along the way, knowing that we were in good hands with the entire Tall Pines crew. It starts at the top with Garrett - his experience, creativity and mannerism set the positive tone right from day one. Lance was our project manager - this is who you want being hands-on with your job - with his expertise and passion. And then all the other subs and related people involved - whenever we had any interaction with them, they all seemed professional and hard-working on their craft. Obviously Tall Pines has cultivated good relationships with these people. Finally, they have a good relationship with the City and worked well with our architect - all of which was pretty important in bringing our plans to life, and getting everything built and approved along the way. And once the main project is done, they don't disappear. We've been in touch since the project was finished, and they've been very attentive to addressing any issues (nothing major) that have arisen since project completion. Overall, incredible experience, and we certainly give Garrett, Lance and their people a lot of credit for that. Eternal thanks!

Garrett and the Tall Pines Crew are great to work with and we highly recommend them! We are an Architectural Firm who has worked with Tall Pines for several years now. All of our clients who have had their homes built by Tall Pines have always been ecstatic with the level of service they have received. They are always courteous and attentive to the clients needs. We like working with them because they are excellent collaborators and it's always a team effort with every project.

It is our immense pleasure to recommend Garrett Strong of Tall Pines Construction. Having met Garrett a few years earlier at a Parade of Homes, we knew he was the right contractor for our extensive remodel. Our collaboration began with Garrett's visionary team of craftsmen, artists and designers. Garrett possesses the rare talent of a great listener. Garrett never said no it can't be done. If something seemed impossible he found an agreeable design solution. The result of this creative group was the WOW factor: an unexpected mountain mod. To this day, because of Garrett's design elements and talent, we often hear "may I take photos", "this home is a work of art" and "I see something of interest everywhere I look." " Do you mind if we copy"? Garrett Strong is professional, honest, and experienced. A man with a great love of his trade, family and community. We always felt like we were in this together. His company and team are still there for us. Would we do it all over again? The answer is absolutely "YES". Bob and Brenda Fellinger Deer Valley, Utah

Tall Pines Construction were an ideal partner for our complex construction project. I can't say enough good things about both Garrett and Todd who, we felt, became our partners on the project. They were clearly every bit as invested in the success of the project as we were. This project was especially difficult because we had initially hired a nightmare contractor, the one you hear about and hope to never meet. Tall Pines Construction willingly took over a complex and difficult situation and completely turned the project around. We couldn't be happier with the end result, and it's in no small part due to Tall Pines. Both Garrett Strong and Todd Wahl were outstanding. Honesty and integrity are in no short supply. I would recommend Tall Pines without reservation.

We hired Garrett at Tall Pines to build our new home in Hideout, Utah. Garrett did a great job. He is extremely professional and genuinely cares about his clients. The house turned out just the way we wanted. Garrett came up with several suggestions to build it more cost effectively without giving up on quality or design. The followup after the house was completed has been great. I would hire Tall Pines again without hesitation.

We worked with Tall Pines Construction Company in a major remodel of our 70 year old home on Emigration Creek in Salt Lake City. We chose Tall Pines because they had experience building energy efficient homes in Utah, and we were excited to have a home the wind wouldn't blow through. We were delighted with our experience! We wanted a collaborative relationship with the builders and designers and were not disappointed! It was truly a positive adventure! Garrett Strong and his talented crew were resourceful and motivated and a joy to work with. We now have a beautiful home that feels heavenly. They were there to talk us through everything from all the energy efficiency magic to the best ways to use our awesome reclaimed warehouse flooring. We were eager to salvage and reuse as many materials as possible, and the Tall Pines crew didn't even bat an eye when they had to custom frame every one of our 41 odd-sized antique doors. They worked with us every step of the way and were so conscientious and dependable, coming up with fantastic elegant solutions to our ideas. Since our project ended, Garrett and his crew have been there for us when issues come up or there are unforeseen problems. They are still motivated to give us their very best. I couldn't recommend them more highly.

We engaged Tall Pines Construction to build our home at 9045 North Twin Peaks Drive in Tuhaye, Kamas Utah in 2013. Their professionalism and constant concern for our well being were of the highest order. Any request was met with immediate and professional attention. Garrett went to great lengths to ensure that we were confident that we were getting value. I am an architect and have extensive experience with the various pros and cons of the contracting industry. If integrity, client orientation and quality are what you seek in a home builder, we cannot recommend Tall Pines too highly.

We hired Tall Pines Construction to complete a kitchen remodel. We extended the renovation somewhat to the rest of the main floor of our house by replacing the flooring and cabinets in two bathrooms. We are so happy with the end result. Beautiful transformation! Tall Pines was professional to work with in every way. They stayed on budget and even saved us money on passing on deals through some of their subcontractors. Many of the subcontractors I dealt with said that Tall Pines was one of the most honest contractors they had ever worked with. They performed the majority of the work during a two week period while we were gone on vacation (demo, floors, baseboards, painting, cabinets, plumbing, electrical, appliances), which was remarkable. Our kitchen was functional when we returned and just needed lighting and a few cosmetic items finished. Project manager was on site during the remodel and emailed me regular photo updates. They were also very accommodating to change a few things when we got back (including moving the island after it had been installed). I'd highly recommend them for a remodel or new construction.

I have worked with Garrett Strong and Tall Pines Construction on several projects over the past 10 years. He is honest and diligent with every aspect of the building process. His craftsmanship and knowledge shows in all of the details, he is very talented and has a true passion for building and creating. He takes the time needed to make sure you are getting what you expect out of the project, always going above and beyond. More than trustworthy and a true pleasure to work with. Lorena T.

“We would highly and enthusiastically recommend Tall Pines Construction as a general contracting firm. We had the pleasure of working with Garrett Strong on the renovation of our Old Town Park City circa 1920 “miner’s shack” and on the construction of a 3200 square foot addition. The project was a challenging one; the historic home required working within city preservation guidelines and fulfilling our own desire to maintain its heritage while attempting to bring the structure up to modern standards. The new addition was constructed on and into a steep slope in a very tight space so it required special knowledge, skill, and determination to build a sound structure. The first reason for Garrett’s success on this project was his professional and friendly relationship with our architect, Bill Mammen. Their constant exchange of information and advice was invaluable; they definitely worked as a productive team. Secondly, Garrett exerted strong yet calm and constant control over his subcontractors for whom he clearly has great trust and respect. Any concerns expressed by us were immediately addressed and resolved. In addition, and more importantly, the subcontractors did excellent work. The gorgeous and well constructed finished product speaks for their skill level and for their devotion to quality construction. Lastly, Garrett is the consummate professional. He is always patient, open-minded and truthful. We witnessed him dealing with worried neighbors, demanding inspectors and late suppliers but his composure was always steady and admirable resulting in good solutions to inevitable problems. The 2,000 miles which separated us from the job site was rarely an issue. Garrett kept us well-informed, sometimes hourly by phone or email; we always felt that he had our best interests at heart. When we were in town he devoted days on end to helping us make decisions on construction and finishing choices. He kept a close eye on our budget and whenever there was a deviation from it he would look for options and get our approval before proceeding. Garrett’s friendliness, depth of knowledge, experience and genuine concern for our satisfaction made building our new house a very enjoyable endeavor. We would not hesitate to hire Tall Pines Construction in the future.” Most sincerely, Barbara and Hamilton Easter

Having worked with several builders over many years in Park City, Garrett Strong and Tall Pines Construction built our beautiful custom home on time and on budget. He always delivered what he promised and often went way beyond what was asked of him, making improvements to the plan along the way. He was always on the site making sure all the sub-contractors were doing their jobs and supervising every aspect of the building process. We could not have asked for a more professional, creative, trustworthy, and dependable partner to build our home.”

Talk about a pro...Garrett Strong is incredibly responsive in a world where blowing off returned phone calls, texts and emails is becoming the norm. It is obvious from the beginning that Garrett cares and is passionate about building not only great homes, but long term relationships with the people he builds homes for. We interviewed multiple GC's for our custom sustainable dream home project and found that Garrett not only has an affable personality, but had experience the know how and the reporting and technology to be our go to guy. I would highly recommend Tall Pines Construction for your next construction project and will use them again myself.

The Winters family enthusiastically recommends Garrett Strong and Tall Pines Construction for your general contracting needs. We are quite proud of our beautiful and well constructed Promontory home. Garrett is highly professional and experienced. He managed the subcontractors well and they all seemed to enjoy working with him. Garrett was able to complete the project on time and close to budget. He is very talented and suggested several key improvements to the architectural plans which we appreciate and enjoy on a daily basis. Personally Garrett can’t be beat. He is honest and dependable. He was easy to talk to whenever an issue arose. We would definitely use Garrett again and recommend him to others!!

We worked with Garrett and his team at Tall Pines Construction to build our new home. We found Garrett to be very easy to work with; he listened to us and understood our requirements. As we were overseas for much of the project, it was important to us that we could communicate effectively via email - Garrett always responded to our queries in a professional and timely fashion. We were particularly happy with the open-book accounting philosophy, which provided total transparency in relation to costs. We love our new home, and would certainly recommend Garrett and Tall Pines Construction to our friends.

Garret Strong and his company, Tall Pines Construction, built a wonderful home for us outside Park City, Utah. His professionalism, honesty and attention to detail are beyond compare. One of the best compliments I can offer is how much his sub-contractors enjoyed working with Garrett and his team. We still live in that home and get compliments from every visitor who comes in our front door. I highly recommend Tall Pines Construction without reservation.

I have been working with Garrett Strong of Tall Pines Construction for many years and on several different projects. Garrett and all the people in the company are great to work with and are extremely competent. Garrett is at the leading edge of understanding the requirements of building the energy efficient and sustainable homes that the new codes demand and which many home owners desire. His attention to detail both in the construction of the project as well as in the accounting help the home owner feel comfortable that they are being well represented by Garrett. He works well with the architect and is comfortable with new ideas and new construction methods. I thoroughly enjoy working with Tall Pines Construction and highly recommend them to anyone considering building.

I am an interior designer and have worked with Tall Pines construction and Garrett Strong on several projects. He is one of the most organized, and creative contractors I have ever had the pleasure to work with. He is 100% hands on, and very concerned that clients get exactly what they want out of a project while still being budget minded and design minded. It is always a pleasure working with Tall Pines and the end result is always fantastic. I cannot recommend them more highly.

As a design firm, our reputation and project integrity are completely subject to the contractor that executes the work. When designing a modern, energy efficient, high end home, hours of work and energy are directed toward detailing to assure that the end result absolutely follows the overall design intent. Any discrepancies, whether large or small, devalue the final product making it haphazard, not deliberate. From achieving budget goals to outstanding client relations, creative problem solving to orderly job site, accurate timelines to jovial personalities... ...Tall Pines always hits the mark, period. We have worked with Tall Pines on multiple projects and hope to continue to build our portfolio by their craft.
