Their work philosophy is very thorough and their hands on approach is extremely helpful. I appreciated their determination to get the job done right and on schedule. I would recommend meeting with Carl and Heather if you are considering building a new home. **★★★★★ — thomasakin, Aug. 2016** > I strongly encourage that anyone looking to build a new home consider working with Carl M. Hansen Companies. The professionalism, customer service and attention to detail is second to none! It was an incredible experience working with Carl and his staff! **★★★★★ — hlheckes, Jan. 2016** > This was our first home build and Carl and his company did an outstanding job. The build was especially challenging since we lived out of state and could only oversee progress once/month. Carl did a fantastic job keeping us up to date through video chats and was an invaluable resource when issues arose. He was very cost conscious and often made suggestions that would reduce our cost but maintain the look and feel we wanted to achieve. I would highly recommend Hansen Companies for any new construction **★★★★★ — Anka, Sept. 2013** > We have purchased Carl Hansens's model home in 2005. Our home has been built with great attention to detail and excellent quality. Since we have owned our home, we have utilized Carl M. Hansen company for additional small projects with a recent laundry room project. We are extremely happy with the results. Carl has always been very prompt to answer our questions, provide contact information for home-related services and give us guidance as an expert in this field. Carl also personally oversees all projects and is reachable at any time. We love our home and enjoy its high quality and functionality every day! **★★★★★ — keltay1, June 2013** > Carl Hanson built our home in 2003, we moved here from Georgia and I can tell you the quality of our home is just perfect. We would use him for our next home. Beautiful work!! **★★★★★ — Barb Bloom, June 2013** > We have worked extensively over the past 15 years with Carl and Heather Hansen, both in the purchasing of our home and in remodels over the years. We are very happy with the quality of craftsmanship and service that we have received. I would recommend the Carl M. Hansen Company to anyone looking for a quality and luxurious home. **★★★★★ — drbmurphy, June 2013** > I have used Carl Hansen companies for the building of my home and subsequently for remodeling. Firstly the company is easy to deal with. They listen and try to and successfully match your vision of your new home. The quality of the materials and workmanship is excellent . His subcontractors are of the highest quality and integrity. The attention to detail is striking. What is truly distinctive is the relationship one has with Carl and his company AFTER the house is completed. No stone is left unturned to ensure that the owner is happy with the new home and any wrinkles (which are extremely few) are ironed out. Building the house and never to be heard from again is definitely not the modus operandi of this company. Building a house., which can be for many, a harrowing experience was an interesting and enjoyable journey. Carl's. knowledge of technology and media is a definite standout. I would highly recommend Carl and his company. **★★★★★ — jeff9959, June 2013** > Carl M. Hansen Companies intelligent and creative solutions constantly push the industry to a new level. His absolute dedication to fulfilling dreams and amazing value have resulted in many happy clients for me. I am always impressed with their open book and honest approach. All homes are completed on time with Uncompromising Quality, Unequaled Craftsmanship, and Unmatched Value. **★★★★★ — kranendonk122, June 2013** > Carl was the builder of our current home. We were immensely pleased with the building process and everyone's desire to make sure we were happy with the outcome. We have been in our home for 7 years and we still appreciate the excellent quality of construction! **★★★★★ — lis007w, Feb. 2013** > Carl M. Hansen Companies built our new home... from start to finish. Not only were they incredibly nice to work with... the end product, our home is absolutely gorgeous... The quality of their work is what stands out the most, as well as their creativity, problem solving and excellent recommendations throughout the whole process. We have looked through many, many newly built homes and the quality and attention to detail of ours always stands out. I would definitely recommend them for any project -- from a remodeling project to a whole new home! **★★★★★ — lporth, Feb. 2013** > The Carl M. Hansen Companies are a very professional, honest, hardworking builder. I found their follow-up to be top notch. Their dedication to making the customer happy while providing superior work was terrific and allowed for on-going work to be seamless. Their quality, performance, and delivery are three things that make them stand out in an industry that relies on many factors to complete a job. If there was an issue, not necessarily a problem, they were on top of it to resolve said issue and get what was needed to make everything work. Quality is something Carl M. Hansen Companies strive for. **★★★★★ — ajmuld, Nov. 2012** > I am a designer who has worked with Carl M Hansen on many projects over the years. I have always enjoyed their professional yet laid back approach to building. From the project management to the guys in the field everyone is wonderful to work with. The team approach that they facilitate helps their clinets understand that they are being walked through the process of building by people who truly want them to love the process as well as the end result. I would recomend them to build for any of my clients. > > Autumn Muldowney ## Selected projects - [Family Oasis (2022)](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/family-oasis-2022-pj-vj~7126340) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 50 - [West Coast Cottage](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/west-coast-cottage-pj-vj~7011457) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 71 - [Waterford Showpiece - Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/waterford-showpiece-remodel-pj-vj~7011465) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 60 - [2020 Featured Project: Minneapolis Kenny Neighborhood Update/Addition](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/2020-featured-project-minneapolis-kenny-neighborhood-update-addition-pj-vj~6563089) - Location: Minneapolis, MN - Photos: 46 - [Golden Valley Gem](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/golden-valley-gem-pj-vj~6563103) - Location: Minneapolis, MN - Photos: 45 - [Spring 2019 Artisan Tour Home- Napa Cozy](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/spring-2019-artisan-tour-home-napa-cozy-pj-vj~5845229) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 82 - [2018 Artisan Dream Home - Rustic Belgian](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/2018-artisan-dream-home-rustic-belgian-pj-vj~5500983) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 52 - Description: Designed by Tom Rauscher, Rauscher & Associates. - [2017 Artisan Tour - Tuxedo Farmhouse](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/2017-artisan-tour-tuxedo-farmhouse-pj-vj~2555441) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 47 - [2016 Fall Parade Model Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/2016-fall-parade-model-home-pj-vj~2126533) - Location: Minneapolis, MN - Photos: 76 - [2015 Fall Parade home, Award-winning Dream Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/2015-fall-parade-home-award-winning-dream-home-pj-vj~1445198) - Location: Minneapolis, MN - Photos: 35 - [2015 Luxury Home Tour - 5148 Ridge Trail, Edina](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/2015-luxury-home-tour-5148-ridge-trail-edina-pj-vj~1630364) - Location: Minneapolis, MN - Photos: 65 - [2014 Midwest Home Magazine Luxury Home Tour Project](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/2014-midwest-home-magazine-luxury-home-tour-project-pj-vj~730995) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 16 - [2013 Midwest Home Magazine Luxury Home Tour- Dream Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/2013-midwest-home-magazine-luxury-home-tour-dream-home-pj-vj~347155) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 38 - [Rustic Lake Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/rustic-lake-home-pj-vj~55832) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 24 - [Mid Century Modern Make-Over](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mid-century-modern-make-over-pj-vj~1982249) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 30 - Description: This mid-century home was in need of a face lift to lighten and brighten the spaces.
