About Keystone
Building the future of custom construction
About Us
Michael Slinkard founded Keystone Custom Construction with a simple goal — to build the right way - with care, honesty, and craftsmanship. After years of hands-on experience designing and constructing his own projects, Michael saw how often homeowners felt lost between big-box builders and unreliable contractors. Keystone was created to bridge that gap — a local, licensed, and detail-driven builder where quality and communication come first.
At Keystone, every project starts with listening. Whether it’s a family home, a casita, outdoor living space, or remodel, the focus is on designing and crafting spaces that fit their lifestyle and environment. Michael brings a lifelong passion for construction, design, and the New Mexico landscape to every build, combining traditional craftsmanship with modern efficiency and practicality.
What sets Keystone apart is personal involvement and pride in every job. Michael is on-site, engaged, and dedicated to ensuring each detail meets his own high standards — from the foundation to the finishing touches. As a fully licensed, insured, and locally owned business, Keystone Custom Construction stands for reliability, transparency, and long-term value. Every project is built as if it were our own — solid, beautiful, and made to last.

Founder’s Note
Hi, I’m Michael — founder of Keystone Custom Construction. I started this company because I believe building or improving a home should feel exciting, not overwhelming. I’ve spent years working with my own hands, designing and building projects from the ground up, and I know how much trust it takes to let someone build your dreams. My goal is simple: treat every project like it’s my own, focus on quality first, and make sure the finished home feels solid, comfortable, and uniquely yours.
I’m proud to call New Mexico home, and I love blending the timeless warmth of Southwest architecture with modern efficiency and clean design. Whether it’s a full custom home, a renovation, or a small project that makes daily life better, I’m involved every step of the way. At Keystone, you’re not just hiring a builder — you’re working with someone who truly cares about the details and the people behind the project.
