Towns we serve

Which towns does Handy’s Construction cover?

Handy's Construction covers four regions around Missoula. Each town page explains the terrain, soils and lot types common there, which county handles permits, and which Handy's services people there use most.

Missoula Valley 02

Home base. In-town lots, older neighborhoods, the river flats west of downtown and hillside sites around the valley.

Clark Fork & Blackfoot 04

East up the Clark Fork and Blackfoot to Clinton and Seeley Lake, and west down I-90 to Superior: timbered lots, cabins and river ground.

Mission Valley 03

North on US-93 through Lake County to St. Ignatius, Ronan and Polson at the foot of Flathead Lake: farm ground and lakeshore lots.

How does Handy’s Construction handle jobs far from Missoula?

Handy's Construction moves its own excavators and trucks to every site under USDOT #4414052, so a septic system in Seeley Lake or a shop in Ronan gets the same crew and equipment as a job in town. Distant jobs are planned so the equipment mobilizes once and stays until the phase is finished.

What changes from town to town is the ground and the paperwork. Missoula County lots may fall under the City of Missoula or the county; Ravalli, Mineral and Lake Counties each have their own environmental health office for septic permits; and parcels on the Flathead Indian Reservation can involve additional jurisdiction. The town pages spell out what to check. Start with site prep or septic systems if you are building on raw land.
