What we do

Services

General Contracting

One point of contact for the whole job: planning, permits, scheduling the trades, and seeing it through to the final walkthrough.

New Construction

Homes and garages built from the ground up, from foundation and framing through finish carpentry.

Remodels

Whole-home updates, new exteriors, kitchens, baths, decks, and concrete, done cleanly and on schedule.

Design-Build

Drafting and 3D renderings in-house, so you can see your project before it's built and go from design to finished build with one team.

About
Chad Larrabee

Larrabee Construction began in 2019 with a single Northside rehab and an unconventional agreement. Unable to secure traditional financing, Chad Larrabee offered the seller a contract guaranteeing his full asking price within six months in exchange for the right to renovate and resell the home. The project succeeded, and the company was founded.

Before that, Chad was a familiar face around Missoula, as a production manager by day, a concert bartender by night, and a builder on weekends. Like many locals, he was balancing multiple jobs to keep up with the cost of living.

Today, Larrabee Construction offers design-build, remodeling, and new construction services, with in-house drafting, engineering partnerships for stamped plans, its own grading and waste-removal equipment, and an established network of local trades. The company also takes on custom metal fabrication and decorative concrete work.
