Dave is meticulous, professional , and a gifted Master Carpenter. He keeps the finances simple (you pick out everything before you start so you know where you will end up). He is not the fastest builder around, but if you want a home that you will cherish, have him build it for you!
Quality of work and professionalism are excellent. They are staining and varnishing interior doors and trim too and have been very helpful with ideas to improve the rooms. They always check to make sure that they're doing things as per our spec and have even stayed during the evening to try...
I absolutely love the deck that Shon Johnson of Xtreme Builders built for us at our lake home. He listened to my vision and was able to put my dream into reality. Thank you Shon!!! My family members have been so impressed that they have called Xtreme Builders to give them estimates on...
Xtreme Builders of Brainerd, Inc.They came very quickly and got the job done. He did a couple of other things that make the door work better. He explained things on what could and should be done. They put in springs that exceeded the builder's quality. It was a very positive experience. I have recommended him to other people.

Check sources like Angi that have standards and criteria in place to screen the pros it lists can also help you find more reputable local home builders.
Typically, it’s more affordable to buy an existing home than it is to build a new one. New construction loan interest rates tend to be higher than interest rates for traditional mortgages. Additionally, the cost of materials is likely higher when building a new home than it was when an existing home was built (unless it’s a very new one). You’re also paying for all new appliances, finishes, permits, inspections, and connections for water, gas, and electricity.
