Featured Project: A Modern Retreat in the Alexandria Area

This stunning project highlights our commitment to quality craftsmanship and sophisticated design that feels perfectly at home in the Alexandria Lakes Area.
The Vision

The goal for this property was to create a home that perfectly blends sophisticated, modern design with the rustic warmth of a classic Minnesota house. The vision called for a seamless indoor-outdoor living experience, with an emphasis on high-end finishes, natural materials, and meticulous attention to detail throughout the home.

The Result

The home’s exterior makes a striking statement with its rich, dark green siding and bold black accents, creating a modern yet timeless look that harmonizes beautifully with the surrounding landscape. Inside, vaulted wood ceilings add a sense of warmth and grandeur, which is elegantly contrasted by dark hardwood floors that flow through the main living areas. The gourmet kitchen serves as the heart of the home, featuring beautiful custom cabinetry and countertops perfect for entertaining. The luxurious master bathroom provides a spa-like retreat, complete with a custom walk-in shower and high-end finishes, showcasing our dedication to creating spaces of both comfort and style.

Hear From Our Valued Clients

Excellent company! We had them help us with a major floor issue in an area of our home. Greg was super helpful and creative in coming up with a solution so this doesn’t happen again. The new flooring looks amazing and we couldn’t be happier! We also had great customer service and communication throughout the project!

Lindsey

We made an excellent choice using Wensmann Contractors for our remodel. It was very extensive. Flooring, countertops, ceilings, closet demo and built ins, fireplace remodel floor to ceiling, tile, painting, door framing, new plumbing, and more. From bid, planning, construction, and completion it was a great professional and fun project. The whole crew is great throughout the process (we have kids and pets and they were wonderful to work within our space and busy life). The bid to final cost was very accurate. Their knowledge was shown as obstacles came up and our options were laid out. They have a wide range of services/skills. And a solid awareness of being cost effective and operating within a budget. The timeline was fair and when we made changes, they accommodated without hesitation. Professional, cost effective, skilled, and great customer service.

Joe Schwarzkopf

We ended up purchasing a home instead of building, but if we ever need work done or do decide to build in the area in the future, Wensmann is the only contractor we’ll deal with. The communication from Greg and Courtney put every other contractor we dealt with in the area to shame; It’s not even remotely close.

Common Questions About Building in Alexandria, MN

What is the permitting process like in Douglas County for a lakefront project?
Building on the Alexandria chain of lakes requires careful adherence to Douglas County's land use and shoreland ordinances. This involves obtaining building permits and ensuring the project design respects setbacks, impervious surface limits, and other environmental protections. We have a strong working relationship with county officials and manage this entire process for you.
How do you source materials and labor for projects in the Alexandria area?
We believe in supporting the communities we work in. We have built strong relationships with high-quality local suppliers and talented, reliable subcontractors based in and around the Alexandria area to ensure your project is built to the highest standards.
Can you build a year-round home, not just a seasonal cabin?
Absolutely. We specialize in building fully-equipped, energy-efficient custom homes designed for comfortable, year-round living in the Alexandria climate, complete with modern heating, insulation, and all the amenities you’d expect in a primary residence.
