Stonewood wins the builder’s association’s highest honor!

Posted in Uncategorized on October 23rd, 2010

Breaking news…. Stonewood wins the Reggie award for their Lake Harriet custom home!

For more than 40 years, local builders have coveted the Reggie Award more than any other. Winners are selected by judging teams of peer builders who visit the homes within their category, and then meet together to select the best examples of excellence in design, construction quality and value.

We’re proud to have been selected by our peers for this award! Thanks to all our talented subcontractors and to Kathryn and Brit Alexander for their inspired design.

Landscaping, paver driveway are going in in the next few weeks…. We’re praying for warm weather!

New home North Oaks

Posted in Under Construction on October 8th, 2010



This is my first project in North Oaks, and with the slow building market, we were the first builder to apply for a new home permit in the city.

It’ll be a spectacular project! This family oriented home features a full stone exterior, slate roof, heavily wooded site, amazing location…

We just cleared the site this week. Check back for progress photos and exterior concept drawings.

It’s all about the details – Millwork Details…
