The approach

One sauna.
A story in layers.

This barrel sauna is modeled on one Big Creek built. Keep scrolling and it comes apart, one layer at a time. Scroll back up and it goes back together.

Drag the sauna to turn it.

01 / The possibility

Your own place to slow down.

Bring a little retreat into your everyday life, with space for warmth, comfort and time for yourself. Think of a backyard sauna, a cold-plunge deck or a reading nook by the window. Once it's there, you use it every day.

  • Barrel saunas
  • Cold-plunge decks
  • Pergolas
  • Reading nooks

02 / The materials

Built around what matters to you.

Good projects start with honest materials. Cedar that smells the way a sauna should. Metal that keeps the weather out. Glass where you want the view. We talk through what fits your space, the way you'll use it and your budget before anything gets cut.

Cedar
Warm, aromatic, at home in the heat
Metal
A corrugated cap that sheds snow and sun
Glass
A full-light door that keeps the view
Timber
Heavy cradles that keep it all square

03 / The details

The character is in the details.

Abe grew up Amish, where you learn that the parts nobody sees matter as much as the parts everybody does. Square cuts. Tight joints. Benches that sit right and floors that run true. Getting them right takes a little longer, and it's why the work lasts.

04 / Your project

Every build starts as a sketch.

Strip any project back far enough and it's a stack of good decisions. Tell us what you're picturing. We'll sketch it with you, price it plainly and build it like it's our own.

About Abe

Raised Amish. Building on the Front Range.

Abe Stoltzfus grew up Amish, where you learn to build by building: alongside family, with your hands and without shortcuts.

That upbringing still shows on every job. Plain talk, square corners and a site left cleaner than he found it. Today Abe runs Big Creek Services on Colorado's Front Range, helping homeowners turn the ideas they've been sitting on into something built to last. A sauna out back. A deck for summer nights. A wall with some character.

  • Plain talk. A clear plan and a straight answer before any work starts.
  • Built right. Square, level and true. Doing it twice wastes everyone's time.
  • Your home, your way. We build around how you live.
