BUILDING A COMMUNITY

Where it started

In 2012, Tony Solorzano and Tucker Harrington came together to found Clearwater Builders of Montana. United by a shared vision and a passion for construction, Tony and Tucker brought their diverse backgrounds in construction to the table, combining their skills to establish a new company. Since its inception, Clearwater Builders has focused on bringing quality and value to each client. They believe that each home crafted by the company is not merely a dwelling but a place for life—a sanctuary where the beauty of Western Montana converges with the comforts of home.

Tony and Tucker recognized early on that achieving their vision required a collaborative effort with a team of industry specialists. Since 2012, the company has thrived on the collective expertise of skilled architects, seasoned builders, and dedicated craftsmen who share a passion for excellence. This commitment to collaboration ensures that every home is not only a testament to Clearwater Builders' core vision but also a reflection of the collective wisdom and skill sets of a team dedicated to crafting spaces that go beyond expectations—a true collaboration that elevates the art of homebuilding to new heights.

Our goal is to create distinctive homes as well as a strong community of individuals who work together as a team.

The Founders

  • Bio

  • Tucker Harrington began his building journey at the age of 16, starting with a summer job. Since then, Tucker's unwavering passion for building and commitment to excellence have drawn him into many new and varied endeavors within the building industry.

    At the age of 20, he ventured into subcontract framing, focusing on craftsmanship and developing an innate understanding of construction intricacies. His mastery of the craft quickly earned him a reputation as a skilled and reliable subcontractor.

    In 2005, Tucker started a small business supplying siding, roofing, and other exterior finishing products to the Bitterroot Valley. His years of experience in the retail building material industry provided him with a broad perspective of the construction industry, from supply to finished product.

    In 2012, Tucker Harrington embarked on a new journey, co-founding Clearwater Builders with Tony Solorzano. This endeavor marked a turning point in Tucker's career, providing him with a platform to showcase his visionary leadership and innovative approaches to construction. Clearwater Builders rapidly grew into a leading construction company in the Bitterroot Valley, known for delivering high-quality projects that exemplify creativity and consistent quality.

    While Tucker is motivated by his passion for building and entrepreneurship, his family remains the cornerstone of his life. As a devoted husband and father, he prioritizes spending quality time with his loved ones, finding balance and fulfillment in embracing adventures with his family. In his free time, he enjoys travel and sailing, discovering out-of-the-way corners of the world.
