Running into Joe Patterson: A Veteran Builder Shaping the Heart of Westcliffe

By KC Stark

You never know who you’ll run into on Main Street in Westcliffe. I like that! And if you’re from a ‘big city’ and wanting to escape. Come build in ‘Wild Wild Westcliffe’!

The other day, while doing my usual slow stroll past shops and job sites, I crossed paths with a guy who immediately gave off the kind of calm, capable energy you notice right away. Turns out—it was Joe Patterson, owner of Brush Hollow Creek Construction LLC, and a U.S. Army veteran.

We got to talking, and what started as a quick “hey there” turned into an insightful chat about construction, community, and what it takes to build something that lasts.

🇺🇸 A Veteran’s Approach to Building

Joe isn’t just another contractor. He’s got over 35 years of experience and leads with values forged during his time in the Army—discipline, reliability, and no shortcuts. You can feel it when you talk to him: he’s not here to cut corners. He’s here to do things right.

Now calling the Wet Mountain Valley home, Joe’s built Brush Hollow Creek Construction LLC into one of the most respected licensed contractors around. They’re fully accredited, highly rated, and most importantly—local.

🛠️ What Brush Hollow Creek Construction Offers

From what I learned (and later confirmed online), Joe’s team covers a wide range of projects:

• Custom Home Builds & Remodels

• Kitchens, Bathrooms, Additions & ADUs

• Decks, Basements, Roofing, Siding, Concrete & Masonry

• Light Commercial Work & Tenant Improvements

And unlike some out-of-town crews passing through, these folks live here, work here, and treat each job like it’s their own property.

🏔 Why This Matters in Westcliffe & Silver Cliff

Here in the 81252, you want someone who understands the terrain, the climate, and the unique way things get done in a small town. Joe and his crew bring that kind of local knowledge and steady professionalism to every project.

They don’t just build structures—they build trust. And in Custer County, that means everything.

✍️ Thoughts from the Sidewalk

It’s moments like that walk down Main Street that remind me why I love this place. You meet people like Joe Patterson—folks who aren’t looking for applause but are absolutely worth celebrating.

So if you’re planning to break ground, improve a space, or simply want to work with someone who treats every job with veteran-level commitment, give Brush Hollow Creek Construction a look.
