Building Custom Homes in the Black Hills
Chris Bergman
Owner
Chris Bergman, owner of Homestead Builders, brings nearly 20 years of experience in the construction industry. He began his career in excavation, giving him a strong foundation in site development and land preparation. Over time, Chris expanded his expertise by constructing his own commercial buildings, which led to the launch of his general contracting company.
In addition to Homestead Builders, Chris continues to operate his excavation business, Bergman Construction, offering clients a comprehensive approach from groundwork to finished home. He also holds a real estate license, providing added value by helping clients seamlessly navigate the process of purchasing land for their new home.
Chris is married to his wife, Tylea, and together they have four children: Bailey, Harlie, Chet, and Kip. Outside of work, the Bergman family enjoys traveling, camping, and spending time driving his side-by-side in the hills.
