Custom Staircase                                      Basement Framing

"Ben Vaage and [Norsk Builders] transformed the look and feel of our backyard when they designed and built a custom cedar staircase for us. Ben was prompt in responding to emails, and fair when it came to pricing. He was able to take our vision of a perfect staircase, and turn it into a reality. Thanks again for your help!"


                               -Evan, South Minneapolis MN

"Ben framed my basement and installed windows. It was a complex job, but he was able to understand exactly what I wanted, and executed successfully on that plan. He showed up everyday when he said he would and got the work done. It was obvious he had the skills and experience to do the job correctly. Everything was very professional. I would definitely recommend him."

Hardwood Floor Installation

“I was extremely pleased and impressed with the quality and level of professionalism put forth by [Norsk Builders]. They installed a maple hardwood floor throughout the entire first floor of my home. The project presented many challenges that Ben and his crew successfully overcame. In today’s fast paced world, it’s tough to find people who take the time to do the job right; [Norsk Builders] did.”

-Annie, Lakeland MN

"We hired Norsk Builders to replace our old deck with a new composite deck. They did a great job on many fronts. They were very easy to work with and listened to our requests and did everything they said they were going to do. The work was well done from a craftsman point of view (excellent workmanship). From the company owner, down to the lowest man on the totem pole, the workers were all super polite and paid attention to all our questions (which were many). They explained everything they did and why they were doing it that way. I would get them again, in a heart beat, for any future building projects we might have. I highly recommend Norse Builders for your construction needs."

-Bruce, Circle Pines MN

"Ben was extremely easy to work with. He is very responsive and flexible when it came to drawing up plans. The deck looks amazing and I get compliments every time someone new comes to the house. I would definitely recommend him and will absolutely call him again for my next project!"

                                                 -Chere, Minneapolis MN

"Alaina and I love the steps and the porch. We only wish we could have made the project even bigger with how well it turned out. That being said, we know how much the project evolved/expanded and we appreciate how you helped when others might have said "we don't have time... packed schedule". Our neighbors, family, and especially the UPS and USPS guys love the steps and porch. It feels like a new house. Good luck with your future projects sir."

                                        -Alaina & Joe, South Minneapolis

His workmanship is excellent. He is knowledgable, skilled, prompt, communicates well and is an overall good guy. I would highly recommend him for any project; big or small."
