Message from Our Founder

Our mission is to bring you the best of Montana's rustic-beauty through our quality and true craftsmanship. The core of Lapka & Sons stands upon the foundation of four core principles:

integrity

honesty

respect

patriotism

We strive to become better individuals and patriots everyday so that we may continue to fulfill our promise to our clients and community.

To display our love of Country, our fellow Countrymen and Military personnel, we will be donating annually to Big Sky Bravery which will continue supporting those in the Special Forces and on the Front Line. It is important to us to give back to our communities and help those in need and those who have given us the ability to pursue our passion each and every day. 

We give this pledge to you with our every word and handshake.  

Sincerely,

Brian J. Lapka

Partner & Co-Founder
