Meet the Builder: The Story Behind Stoddard Construction

Meet the Builder

Every home has a story, and so does every builder. At Stoddard Construction, the heart of our work begins with the life and experience of our founder, Jeff Stoddard. His journey spans decades of craftsmanship, problem-solving, and dedication—rooted in both hard work and family values.

A Lifetime of Craftsmanship & Experience

Jeff’s career began in cabinetmaking, where he spent 15 years perfecting the art of detail and precision. That foundation in craftsmanship taught him the importance of quality materials, functionality, and timeless design.

From there, he went on to work for Union Pacific Railroad as an engineer and bridge inspector for 23 years. Covering routes from Roseville, California up through Mount Shasta and across to Elmo, Nevada, Jeff learned the importance of structure, safety, and organization at the highest level.

Even during his railroad years, Jeff continued building as a general contractor, designing and managing projects that reflected his commitment to both strength and beauty.

Building Roots in Idaho

In 2020, Jeff and his family made the move from Northern California to Idaho, where they planted roots and expanded Stoddard Construction into the Garden Valley, Crouch, and Treasure Valley communities.

Today, the company specializes in:

Custom home construction

Remodels and renovations

Mountain and valley builds that honor Idaho’s unique landscapes

Jeff’s breadth of experience allows him to blend craftsmanship with the reliability and organization homeowners count on.

A Mission Built on Integrity

Jeff believes that building a home is about more than construction—it’s about trust. His mission is simple:

Deliver quality craftsmanship on the timeline agreed upon.

Maintain open, honest communication with every client.

Stay within budget and keep detailed records through every step.

Work with a reliable network of subcontractors who share the same standards of integrity.

The Foundation of Family & Faith

Behind every builder is the support that makes their work possible. For Jeff, family is everything. He credits his strong family environment as a source of love, guidance, and encouragement.

The values that shape Stoddard Construction—honesty, respect, kindness, hard work, and faith—come directly from that foundation. With a Christian perspective on relationships and community, Jeff brings not only skill but also heart to every project.

Building More Than Homes

At Stoddard Construction, we don’t just build houses—we build spaces where families can thrive, grow, and create memories for generations. Whether it’s a new mountain retreat, a remodel in the Treasure Valley, or a renovation to make your home more functional, Jeff and his team approach every project with craftsmanship, care, and integrity.
