When you have an owner like Jeff on-site supervising the project, you can see why a smaller, nimble, yet highly skilled company always gets the job done right.
OUR STORY
The roots of Authentic, Inc. run deep in the craft of building. Jeff St. Cyr grew up in New Hampshire, the son of a third-generation mason, where he learned the value of precision, patience, and hard work at a young age. By 18, Jeff was managing the restoration of historic Colonial and Victorian homes, honing his skills in meticulous detail and problem-solving. Drawn to the grandeur of Montana, Jeff moved west and immersed himself in the art of building with log and timber—an experience that would define his career and inform his approach to creating homes that harmonize with nature.
SUPER COLLABORATORS
We partner with your chosen team to create your dream. We roll up our sleeves and take a hands-on approach to following good ideas. Our job is to lead you in the right direction, making each deliverable a milestone.
BIG PICTURE THINKING
At Authentic, although we’re consistently efficient and proactive, we always take a step back and view the big picture. Before we embark on the build, we ensure that we’re aligned with the owner’s objectives

Nearly three decades later, they continue to pursue excellence together at Authentic Inc., with Joe recently moving into project management, his favorite role so far.
Outside of work, family is Joe’s top priority. He and his wife have instilled the importance of hard work in their two children, who have grown to be successful in their careers.
