Build Your Custom Home With Confidence
For us, building homes is about more than construction; it’s about creating something meaningful together.
Our Core Values:
Craftsmanship: We believe quality starts with the materials we choose and carries through every detail of the finished home.
Communication: Clear and honest communication with our clients and trade partners ensures every project runs smoothly from start to finish.
Trust: Trust is the foundation of every relationship we build, and we work hard to earn it through reliability, transparency, and doing things the right way.
Connection: We genuinely enjoy the work we do, the people we work alongside, and the lasting relationships we build with our clients—many of whom become lifelong friends.
Our crew feels like one big family. We’ll go fishing on Leech Lake at least once a year, and everybody brings their spouses and kids to join in on the fun.
We’re a tight knit group that seems to just get bigger, because the people we build for become our friends, and we’re pretty proud of that.

Meet The Owners:
Jack & Jake
Jack and Jake have built custom homes throughout Byron, MN and Southeast Minnesota — they know the area, the contractors, and the community.
Jake Hershberger has been in construction for over 20 years. He started shingling houses at 17 years old after parting ways with his Amish roots.
Since then, he’s learned all different kinds of carpentry from building decks, to framing houses, and even opening his own furniture store. Through it all, he learned his true passion was in custom construction. When he met Jack’s dad, Mike, they quickly became good friends. He admired how Mike cared for his subcontractors, how he would become friends with the new homeowners after the build. When Jack started working with them too, that’s when they truly became like family.
Jack Hartert practically grew up on job sites. He learned the value of hard work and clear communication from his father, Mike Hartert, a contractor for over 30 years in Rochester, MN.
At 18, he joined Jake‘s crew, and they have worked with each other ever since. He credits Jake for teaching him everything he knows about carpentry, and firmly believes Jake is capable of building anything he puts his mind to.
Together, they’re excited to uphold their legacy of quality work and care to help more customers build their forever home.
