Services
Custom Lake Homes
We design and build custom lakefront homes tailored to Northern Minnesota's landscapes. Our process begins with site suitability assessments and code compliance checks, followed by collaborative design sessions to maximize scenic views. Clients receive transparent timelines and regular updates, ensuring their vision becomes a functional, durable residence that preserves regional architectural charm.
Timber Frame Construction
Our timber frame homes feature exposed wooden trusses and beams for rustic appeal. Using traditional joinery techniques combined with modern engineering, we create structures that blend elegance with durability. Each design incorporates energy-efficient insulation and materials suited to Minnesota's climate while maintaining the warmth and authenticity of classic northern cabins.
Home Renovations
We specialize in updating existing homes to meet modern standards without losing their original character. Services include kitchen and bathroom modernization, basement finishing, and structural additions. Our team assesses each property's unique needs, then implements code-compliant renovations that enhance functionality and resale value while preserving the 'up-north' aesthetic cherished by homeowners.
Garbin Construction
Our Garbins combine functional garage space with cozy cabin living. Designed for versatility, these structures serve as weekend retreats, guest cottages, or future home foundations. We incorporate full insulation, modern amenities, and code-compliant layouts, ensuring they adapt to changing needs while complementing lakefront properties with their rustic yet practical design.
Remodeling Services
We transform outdated spaces through structural remodeling that improves flow and functionality. Specializing in kitchen and bathroom overhauls, we reconfigure layouts, install energy-efficient systems, and integrate modern materials while respecting the home's original architecture. Our process prioritizes minimal disruption to daily life during construction.
