We are a custom builder, specializing in building the “up-north” through the “contemporary” style. We have a long and steady history of customer service, before, during, and after the construction project.
Our experienced team will help with your building project from the site plans, permits, and tree cutting to the finished project. We are large enough to handle any residential construction project and small enough to offer personal service. We take pride in having access to the Lake Area’s best sub-contractors and vendors. This helps to insure proper and professional craftsmanship, timely schedules, and meeting the needs and expectations of our clients. We employ a full-time, year-around, crew of seasoned carpenters to insure your project will stay on schedule, regardless of the season. Dean Johnson oversees business/project management, which allows Daren Ward, Owner/General Contractor, more available time on the project sites to work side by side with our experienced carpenters. This helps insure that the quality and structural integrity that would go into his home, goes into yours. The person that you hire to build your house actually constructs your house and our North Ward Homes clients have come to expect it.
Tight margins and staying on budget is generally atypical when building in today's market. Banks and Title Companies tell their clients to expect and plan for 10-15% over-runs. This is one area that we have enjoyed uncommon success. We usually obtain a 5% or less margin for our clients and in addition, supply our clients firm construction bids for labor and carpentry, not estimates or generalized cost paramiters. In addition to meeting deadlines which are instrumental for loan closings, moving and other real estate concerns.

We are a full service contractor. We actually do all our ownconstruction and carpentry. We have our own professional well-seasoned staff that does the work under direct supervision of the owner and the boss. This is all we have ever done. We do all of the construction and carpentry in-house. We do not sub-out any carpentry or construction. "Our greatest asset has always been our people."
It is our old fashioned and long standing belief that building a quality assured home comes greatly impart from having the same crew and men do the work all the way from start to finish. A true seasoned carpenter has a much broader understanding and skill set as a whole than a piece work specialist. When our guys are setting windows and doors, they're thinking about how it will coincide with the interior trim and finishes. When we're framing, we're being cognizant of siding and its components and how the wall board and wood panelings go together with accuracy and details of our work. If you're not part of the entire assembly process form the ground up, it's impossible to achieve the flow and synergy that we create on a daily basis when building your home. This cannot happen when the same work is performed as totally separate entities. It's not like building a car on an assembly line, it all comes together at the same time in the same spot. Give us an opportunity to show our work at all stages.
Our crews are paid by the hour to do their best every day and at every conjuncture of the building process. their priority is a quality job well done. Since these processes are not subbed out, their fit and finishes are stellar partially due to the fact that they are not pressed against a pre-bid estimate.
Our staff and carpenters have a true vested interest in the quality of your home throughout the entire process. Subs and other specialty personnel often remark about how they appreciate the way we do it and how well things are put together. It is the only way to have continuity throughout the entire process and have craftsmanship the highest priority from start to finish. No exceptions.
Let us help build your future legacy together. A campsite and getaway for family and your grandchildren, up at the lake in God's country - Crow Wing and Cass County, MN. Where the loons call and the waters shimmer and dance from the light of the summer moon. What better memory could you or your family have or create - A place to celebrate family together. Let's get started on this journey.
