Porchlight Builders was founded in Salida, Colorado by Andrew Bascue.
Andrew brings a lifelong passion for construction, rooted in his family's four-generation history in the trades. He thrives on building genuine connections with people and is deeply committed to helping them realize their aspirations through the creation of exceptional homes. While his professional background includes a decade of dedicated work in the field of environmental science and sustainability, he ultimately returned to his calling in construction, drawn by a desire to craft spaces that truly reflect and support the lives of those who inhabit them.
His experience spans diverse projects, from boutique renovations and new builds to large-scale luxury homes. This diverse background includes:
Hands-on experience in all construction phases, from foundation to finish.
Residential contractor licensing.
Collaboration with real estate professionals, understanding the investment aspect of construction.
Experience leading large teams on architect-driven projects, including site development and extensive landscaping.
Led a new construction company branch, overseeing operations and ensuring project success.
Passive House Tradesperson certification, demonstrating expertise in building science.
Recognizing the importance of direct client relationships, Andrew founded Porchlight Builders. The company's process-driven approach ensures client investment goals are met through thoughtful design and impeccable craftsmanship. Porchlight Builders is dedicated to creating homes where clients can truly thrive.
When he's not building homes and "dorking out" on efficiency, Andrew can be found exploring the mountains surrounding Salida. He's an avid mountain biker, skier, and climber, constantly dreaming about big mountain adventures around the world. Above all, Andrew values his family and cherishes the time they spend together hiking, camping, and exploring the western US.
