About J. Howell Custom Home Builder 

Justin Howell is the founder of J. Howell Custom Home Builder, a custom home builder based in Grand Junction, Colorado, serving homeowners throughout Western Colorado. With years of hands-on experience in residential construction, Justin takes a personal, involved approach to every project, guiding clients through a clear and transparent building process from initial planning to final completion. Known for his attention to detail, honest communication, and commitment to quality craftsmanship, Justin specializes in building custom homes, renovations, and design-build projects that reflect each homeowner’s vision and are built so customers ultimately love where they live.

Justin loves the outdoors, and the qualities that make him a great outdoorsman also make him an exceptional builder. Justin’s deep patience, strong ethics, eye for detail, listening ear, and ability to work hard while remaining optimistic are all traits garnered from time spent in Colorado’s great outdoors, but they are demonstrated with his clients and on the jobsite.

Justin and his wife Liz understand the importance of home and are proud to have established deep roots in western Colorado. They have two children: Miles & Cassidy. The family is engaged in community activities including serving in their local church and participating in organizations such as 4H. They enjoy outdoor recreation and you can always find them doing something outside such as camping, rafting, hunting, horseback riding – basically anything that allows them to spend time together and enjoy this beautiful region.
