They helped us completely remodel our mudroom and build-out our lower level. We were looking for serene and peaceful additions to our home and they accomplished just that. From start to finish the process was smooth, professional and top notch quality. We have been through many construction projects in the past and this one was by far the best. Their communication and attention to detail is unmatched. If things didn't go perfectly along the way (which is bound to happen no matter how good you are) they were the ones to point it out and already have a solution ready to go. Nate, Tanner, and the team are honest people, they price fairly and their end product is high-end. We couldn't recommend them enough! **★★★★★ — jennyc7, April 2022** > After meeting Nate and team we switched to Frontier Custom Builders - looking back it was the best decision we could have made for the project. From day one, Nate and team were professional, timely and transparent - from concept to completion. Like any major build we were nervous and there were challenges but Nate and Tanner worked with us making sure each was resolved the best way possible. If we were to do it again, it wouldn’t be a question, our first call would be to Frontier Custom Builders! **★★★★★ — Jennifer, April 2022** > We hired Frontier to add a basement bathroom, new siding, and a new roof to our 1 1/2 story home in Southwest Minneapolis. I told Nate my vision was an "urban cottage." From our first meeting to the final steps of the project, the crew was attentive, flexible, informative, professional, and creative. Nate, Tanner, Ryan, and everyone else on the crew were respectful, skilled, and super fun. We actually missed seeing them every day when the project ended! We highly recommend this company and already have referred several friends to them. Thank you, Frontier, for making my "urban cottage" dreams come to fruition!! **★★★★★ — Kelly Hinze, March 2022** > We considered a number of builders as we planned to remodel our entire 1950’s home in Edina. However, we were so fortunate to have selected and partnered with Nate & Tanner for the job. They exceeded our expectations in every way bringing our dream home to life. Simply put, they treated us like family throughout the entire process and we are so grateful for them. We’ve been recommending Frontier Structures to family and friends ever since! **★★★★★ — Brad & Binbin Byykkonen, Dec. 2019** > Frontier has done a great job for our sunroom, mudroom, and deck addition project. It is a great success. We are so glad to have chosen Nate as our contractor. He is trustworthy, honest, and has excellent judgement and taste. He did a great job bringing about the vision we had for our home’s addition. > There are few things we would like to point out: > Frontier really listened to us regarding our needs and in working out a budget. Nate worked out very detailed bids, and he was patient with all our questions. Our total project cost was very close to the bid, so we are happy that the project turned out what we wanted and within our budget. > Also, our communication with Nate, Tanner, and his subs was pleasant. Everyone was professional, patient, and responsive to our questions and needs. > Attention to detail is another strength about Frontier. They don’t miss any little things. > Getting work done on time is another thing by which we were impressed by Frontier. Despite the weather conditions and busy construction season, our various aspects of our project were complete very close to schedule. > Again, we are exceptionally happy with Frontier. We are looking forward to work with them again. **★★★★★ — Chelsea Ihnat, Oct. 2019** > Nate and his crew are professional, trustworthy and detail oriented. They completed a partial kitchen re-model and built a custom bar for our dining room. We were so impressed with the quality and craftsmanship of the woodwork. **★★★★★ — Home Design by Annie, April 2019** > I highly recommend Frontier Custom Builders for remodel and new construction projects. The team is very well organized, on time, and extremely reliable. They are one of my favorite builders to work with! **★★★★★ — Marc N, Nov. 2018** > We hired Nate from Frontier Structures to be the GC on an extensive remodel of our newly purchased lake home. Nate was honest, trustworthy, had excellent judgment and taste, and completed the project on time and with the utmost professionalism. Nate has excellent relationships with top quality subs. The project turned out stellar in every way. I couldn’t recommend him more highly. **★★★★★ — D K, Nov. 2018** > We wanted to open up our 115 year old quaint cottage by removing a wall and updating the kitchen. Our goal was to maintain the character of the home, downsize the large appliances, and upgrade the appearance of the home by making it more attractive. We couldn't be more pleased with the result. We especially appreciated being listened to and receiving solid suggestions since we were doing our own design. We felt that Frontier Structures was in sync with our standards and together, we accomplished our goal with perfection. **★★★★★ — Vivid Interior Design - Danielle Loven, July 2018** > Frontier Structures has excellent attention to detail, quality and service and these are just a few of the many reasons we enjoy collaborating with them. We have consistently great experiences from start to finish and it makes all the difference in the end result and exceeding our clients’ expectations. Nate and Jeremy are wonderful to work with and we look forward to many more projects and success stories together. **★★★★★ — Jill Hendrickson, April 2018** > The people at Frontier Structures could not have been more professional or helpful to our family. We met with Nate and Jeremy with nothing more than a picture of what we wanted and they worked diligently to try and make our vision a reality. They were extremely organized and upfront about all costs and possible delays and worked hard on even the smallest details. When something arose, they were quick to communicate with us so that we always knew where the project stood. I don't believe we could have made a better decision than hiring Frontier Structures. I can truthfully say that they went above and beyond for us...... both the little things and the large things were well taken care of. We feel blessed to know them! **★★★★★ — Rick Hauritz, April 2018** > Our project was a great success. It far exceeded our family's expectations. Our project consisted of adding a deck and remodeling the great room off the new deck. During the project estimation process Nate tactfully suggested several great ideas which we thought highly of, these ideas made a huge difference in the end result of the project. The bid was detailed, accurate and appropriate to the work to be completed. And best of all the work was completed by the proposed deadline. > The staff was courteous and respectful and provided quality work. The communication between Nate, his staff and me was excellent, I was always informed of the project status, they addressed my questions and addressed any issues or concerns I had. I felt at ease throughout the process because of the people I was working with. I highly recommend Nate J. and his Frontier Structures team. ## Selected projects - [Minnetonka Lakeside Retreat](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/minnetonka-lakeside-retreat-pj-vj~7881145) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 73 - [Warm Main Level](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/warm-main-level-pj-vj~7255903) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 50 - [Orono Retreat](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/orono-retreat-pj-vj~7507760) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 98 - [Warm Modern](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/warm-modern-pj-vj~7490880) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 13 - [Modern Elegance in Woodbury](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-elegance-in-woodbury-pj-vj~7297529) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 75 - [Excelsior Coastal](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/excelsior-coastal-pj-vj~7490888) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 25 - [Luxury Fitness Room](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/luxury-fitness-room-pj-vj~7396974) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 19 - [Vivid Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/vivid-kitchen-pj-vj~7410223) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 18 - [Rustic Basement](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/rustic-basement-pj-vj~7255924) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 41 - [Bold Bathrooms](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bold-bathrooms-pj-vj~7115891) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 32 - [Lower Level Retreat](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lower-level-retreat-pj-vj~7072638) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 33 - [Edina Traditional](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/edina-traditional-pj-vj~7072631) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 39 - [Coastal Quarters](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/coastal-quarters-pj-vj~7072593) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 48 - [Minneapolis Modern](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/minneapolis-modern-pj-vj~7072586) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 34 - [Edina New Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/edina-new-home-pj-vj~6667320) - Location: Edina, MN - Photos: 57 - [Minneapolis Sophistication](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/minneapolis-sophistication-pj-vj~6709963) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 34 - [Country Dream](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/country-dream-pj-vj~6689287) - Location: Monticello, MN - Photos: 53 - [Organic Modern](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/organic-modern-pj-vj~6689524) - Location: Edina, MN - Photos: 88 - [Eclectic Lakehouse](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/eclectic-lakehouse-pj-vj~6652489) - Location: Orono, MN - Photos: 51 - [Modern Farmhouse](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-farmhouse-pj-vj~6624470) - Location: Wayzata, MN - Photos: 19 [See all 28 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/general-contractors/frontier-custom-builders-pfvwus-pf~1738297700) ## Community Q&A **Q: Island** *(in Photo Questions)* Would you share the island dimensions?
