Josh Schmitt
Devoted to detail and discipline, Josh Schmitt has been honing his craft since he was 13 years old. With 20+ years in home building and corporate carpentry, Josh has a lifetime of experience hand-crafting an impressive range of buildings.
Josh founded Big Pine Construction in 2017, dedicated to custom luxury home building in the Black Hills, and built on his reputation for extraordinary quality and exceptional customer satisfaction.
Apart from home building, Josh loves spending time with his wife of 18 years, Karie, and their daughters, Jeyda and Samara. He can be found around the Black Hills rock climbing, listening to music, and at Rimrock Church Downtown on Sunday mornings as the worship pastor.
“From start to finish, Josh took the utmost care with our complete home remodel.”
Josh and his team at Big Pine Construction has helped our family with two major remodels, one in 2017, and most recently in 2026. His superpower in both projects was listening to the vision we had for our specific needs, and then translating and implementing the plan with keen vigilance and attention to detail. He may have had several projects running at multiple stages, but we always felt like we had his full attention when it mattered most. From start to finish, Josh took the utmost care with our complete home remodel, keeping our budget and aesthetics in mind. My husband and I highly recommend Josh if you need a contractor who listens, cares and will complete your project as promised.
