My name is Selena Rigby, and the foundation of my career in general contracting was laid long before I ever picked up a tool professionally. I was raised in a family deeply rooted in both the timber and environmental industries—my father spent his entire career working in and managing a lumber mill, while my mother dedicated her life to the Targhee National Forest. The values of hard work, craftsmanship, and stewardship of the land were instilled in me from a young age.
Growing up, I was surrounded by lumber, construction, and the natural beauty of the forest. I vividly remember helping my father build my grandmother’s home and later, the house we lived in ourselves. Those early experiences weren’t just projects—they were life lessons. I learned how to work with my hands, think creatively, and problem-solve on the spot. Being immersed in construction from such a young age made the world of building feel second nature to me.
This unique upbringing naturally led me into a career in general contracting. With a strong eye for design and a deep understanding of materials, I specialize in finding creative and high-end solutions tailored to each project. Whether it’s a new build, a remodel, or custom work, I bring not only years of hands-on experience but also a legacy of craftsmanship and care passed down through generations.
Every job I take on is not just about construction—it’s about creating something lasting and meaningful, just like the homes I helped build growing up.
