About Minnesota Structures

The Helpful Carpenters

Minnesota Structures delivers elite craftsmanship and proven project management
to every build we work on. Our creed is simple: "Do it once, do it right"

We partner with builders and homeowners, bringing the skill, experience, and problem-solving mindset needed to get the job done right the first time. Beyond new construction, our team has extensive renovation experience, including the highly technical work of adding elevators to existing homes. In fact, we’re currently completing our fourth residential elevator project, a testament to our ability to handle complex renovations that demand creativity and precision.

Based in the Minnetonka area and serving surrounding communities across Hennepin County, including Eden Prairie, Minnetonka, and Wayzata, we’re known for our attention to detail, ability to coordinate across trades, and capability to tackle specialized work, including installing windows weighing up to 1,200 pounds with our heavy-lift precision equipment.

We show up to build, but we also show up to solve problems, find solutions, and deliver a finished product that exceeds your expectations.

What Sets Us Apart?

Four core values guide our work:

  • People — We believe trust is built on relationships. We follow through on our promises and communicate clearly from start to finish.
  • Excellence — Quality is non-negotiable. We keep it flush, keep it level, keep it tight, and do it right the first time.
  • Commitment — We see every project through, staying accountable to deadlines, budgets, and scope.
  • Creativity — Complex projects don’t intimidate us. We thrive on finding smart solutions to unique challenges.

Our Story

Minnesota Structures has been part of the Hennepin County building community for decades, rooted in a tradition of pairing craftsmanship with strong project leadership. From our early start in 1992, we have built a lasting partnership with Erotas Custom Building, serving as their trusted framing and carpentry subcontractor for more than 30 years.

That long-standing relationship reflects what we bring to every job: reliability, consistency, and an ability to coordinate seamlessly on complex, high-end projects. Over the years, we’ve expanded our expertise from hands-on carpentry to full-scale project coordination, giving builders and homeowners confidence that every detail will be handled with care. Today, we carry that same commitment forward, serving as a go-to partner for architects, builders, and clients who expect nothing less than excellence.
