Bringing Custom Craftsmanship to North Idaho’s Open Spaces

Nestled between the mountains and meadows of North Idaho, Rathdrum is the perfect blend of rural beauty and residential comfort. MG Custom Builders proudly serves the Rathdrum community with over 25 years of experience in building high-end custom homes, managing thoughtful renovations, and delivering precision-crafted cabinetry and millworks—all with a locally focused, client-first approach.

From acreage builds and rustic retreats to updated family homes and finely crafted interior finishes, we bring deep experience and a love for the land to every Rathdrum project.

With its large lots, wooded parcels, and wide-open views, Rathdrum offers an ideal canvas for one-of-a-kind homes. We specialize in designing and building:

  • Mountain modern and rustic custom homes
  • Craftsman and farmhouse-inspired designs
  • Energy-efficient builds suited to North Idaho’s climate
  • Full project management from design through final walkthrough
  • We help clients make the most of their property by siting the home to take advantage of views, privacy, and access. Whether you’re building a forever home, multi-generational estate, or a downsized retirement property, we tailor every aspect to your needs and lifestyle.

    MG Custom Builders brings the same level of care and quality to remodeling projects as we do to new construction. Whether it’s expanding your home or improving existing spaces, we create thoughtful upgrades that respect your home’s original character while enhancing comfort and value.

  • Built-in shelving and mudroom benches
  • Statement doors and architectural woodwork

    Building in Rathdrum often means dealing with rural property challenges—well and septic coordination, slope studies, and large parcel permitting. Our in-house planning and land use team simplifies the process with:

  • Site planning and feasibility assessments
  • Kootenai County permitting and zoning support
  • Team assembly (engineers, surveyors, designers)
  • Assistance with code compliance and application prep
  • We’ll help you move from raw land to ready-to-build with clarity and efficiency.

  • Locally Rooted: Our team knows the Rathdrum Prairie and its building nuances inside and out.
  • Custom-Fit Solutions: No two projects are the same—and we build with that in mind.
  • Integrated Services: From concept and permitting to cabinetry and construction, we do it all in-house.
