Custom One

Celebrating 40 Years of Crafting Dream Homes

At Custom One Homes, we are overjoyed to announce our 40th anniversary in the Twin Cities area! For four decades, we have been dedicated to turning your dream homes into reality, one meticulously crafted masterpiece at a time.

Excellence in Quality and Craftsmanship

Our journey began with a passion for precision, an unwavering commitment to quality, and a deep appreciation for the artistry of custom construction. Over the years, we’ve honed our skills, embraced innovative techniques, and raised the bar for excellence in every aspect of home building.

Client Service Above All

Central to our success has been our unwavering focus on client service. We understand that their vision is our blueprint, and we’ve built our reputation on open communication, transparency, and a relentless pursuit of their satisfaction. That trust has fueled our success.

Custom Creations That Stand the Test of Time

Every home we build is a reflection of our clients unique style and needs. Our custom homes are not just structures; they are a legacy of craftsmanship, a testament to quality, and a sanctuary for your family for generations to come.

Thank You for 40 Incredible Years!

As we celebrate this milestone, we want to express our deepest gratitude to the Twin Cities community, our incredible clients, and our dedicated team. Without your trust, support, and shared vision, none of this would have been possible.

Here’s to the next 40 years of building dreams together!

Join us in celebrating this incredible journey. Share your stories, memories, and dreams with us. We look forward to continuing to serve you with the same passion, dedication, and commitment to excellence that has defined us for the past 40 years.

Cheers to the past, present, and future of custom home building in the Twin Cities!

As we near the end of 2022, our team is reminiscing about the highlights of our year. This past year was filled with fantastic clients, new developments, incredible projects, and our favorite home tours.

Our Custom One team is thankful for our friends, families, health, and every client who supports us. Thank you for making 2022 another incredible year – we wish you all a very happy and healthy New Year!

Spring Parade of Homes

Our spring kicked off with the annual Twin Cities Spring Parade of Homes! Our team was thrilled to share three stunning parade homes and our up-and-coming Eagleview luxury villa community in Savage, MN. We loved connecting with visitors during the tour and hearing their feedback on our work! 

 

Stunning Home at The Royal Club

In March, we shared a glimpse inside this stunning home in our Royal Club community in Lake Elmo, Minnesota! We originally planned to feature this home during the Parade of Homes; however, those plans changed at the last minute when some lovely clients purchased it! 

 

Elegant Woodbury Renovation

At Custom One Renovation, we love helping clients reimagine their homes. When this Woodbury family reached out about giving their home a much-needed refresh, we were happy to help! We teamed up with Tim Johnson Architects and Interior Impressions to redesign the owner’s bedroom, ensuite, second bathroom, laundry room, and mudroom.

 

Best Builder for Six Years Running

In July, our team was grateful to be named Best Builder by Woodbury Magazine voters for the 6th year in a row. What an incredible honor! We’re still so thankful to every voter who chose us, our dear clients who support us, and our innovative team whose dedication makes our success possible. We love being a part of Woodbury and look forward to serving you for many years to come!

 

Fall Parade of Homes

In the autumn, we showcased three spectacular new homes during the Fall Parade of Homes. From a walk-out villa in Eden Prairie to a cozy Woodbury rambler to a luxury villa in Savage, each model was a unique offering designed with intentionality. As always, we enjoyed chatting about all things home-building with our lovely visitors! See More

 

New Neighborhoods

We pride ourselves on providing our clients access to some of the Twin Cities’ most beautiful neighborhoods in sought-after communities. This year we added an exclusive community of row homes on Long Lake and stunning lakeside acreages in Apple Valley to our offerings. Learn More about Aava Vetta and Lakeside of Diamond Path

 

Custom One Landscaping Lookbook

Landscaping may be the last element completed on most homes, but there’s no denying its magic! It’s the finishing touch that complements beautiful architecture. We love helping our clients design and create stunning outdoor spaces for playing together, enjoying nature, and making memories. 

 

Kitchens Fit for Holiday Hosting

From cooking meals to baking cookies and everything in between, the kitchen is command central during the holidays. It doesn’t matter if you’re planning, prepping, or hosting; everyone always seems to gravitate to the kitchen. After all, that is where all the delicious food is! 

 

Custom One Charities

2022 was another busy year for Custom One Charities! From partnering with local schools to supporting respected philanthropic organizations, we’re on a mission to build generosity and craft kindness. Over the summer, we had a blast hosting our annual golf tournament. In Feburary, we look forward to partying with a purpose with our friends at The Mix, our annual fundraising gala.

2023 Hockey Day Minnesota
January 26th – 29th
White Bear Lake, Minnesota
Event Website

One of the pillars we stand on at Custom One is a commitment to our community. We are passionate about staying connected to the people we serve, whether it’s through our client partnerships, charity division, or supporting local events.

This January, Custom One Homes, Custom One Landscaping, and Custom One Renovation are proud to sponsor the Hockey Day Minnesota event in White Bear Lake, MN. What’s more Minnesotan than hockey? After all, why live somewhere so cold if you can’t enjoy the ice and snow?

This year’s event is the 17th annual, and we can’t wait to watch some top-notch youth hockey, listen to live music, and enjoy food truck fare! 

At Custom One Homes, we believe our team is what sets us apart from the rest. Their hard work, dedication, and creative spirit drive our business; we wouldn’t be here without them. So, we think it’s only fair to give them the recognition they deserve. Today, it’s time to shine the spotlight on our Vice President of Operations, Cheryl!
