Founded in Salt Lake City and reborn in Teton Valley, Night Shift Construction specializes in luxury custom homes and high-end remodels designed for mountain living. Serving homeowners across Victor, Driggs, Tetonia, Alta, and Felt, we bring a level of precision and care usually reserved for the most exclusive projects.

At the helm is Zach Schuster, a builder known for his obsessive attention to detail, integrity, and ability to think three steps ahead — from tracking weather systems to protect pours, to refining details that prevent costly issues years down the line. His wife, Jessie — a structural engineer — isn’t directly involved in every build, but her insight shapes Night Shift’s core philosophy: homes must be as structurally sound and energy-efficient as they are beautiful.

Night Shift is intentionally selective, taking on only a handful of projects in Teton Valley each year so every client receives full focus. The result? Homes that reflect the lifestyle and taste of their owners — crafted to perform in snow country and built to stand the test of time.

Every project begins with a clear, comprehensive contract. We outline scope, budget, and timeline so expectations are aligned from day one — giving clients peace of mind that their investment is protected.
