At Stonegate Builders, we believe a home is more than just a structure; it’s a cornerstone of the community and a legacy for your family. Our foundation is built on a deep-seated pride in our Minnesota roots. This pride influences everything we do—where we build, how we build, and the lasting impression we leave long after a project is complete. We hold ourselves to the highest standards, ensuring that every home we create is a testament to quality craftsmanship and lasting value.

Our commitment begins with a simple, powerful idea: supporting local. We partner with local trades and vendors who share our dedication to excellence. By choosing Minnesota-made products, we not only invest in our local economy but also ensure that every material meets our exacting criteria for performance and longevity. We meticulously select high-performance materials and employ superior building techniques to protect your investment and provide a home that stands the test of time. This focus on quality is not just a business strategy; it’s a promise to our clients.

This dedication to local partnerships and superior materials is what allows us to build homes of distinction. It connects us to a rich history of Minnesota craftsmanship and allows us to bring authentic, high-quality elements into the modern home. One such partnership we are particularly proud of is our collaboration with Manomin Resawn Timbers, a company that shares our passion for heritage and quality. Their work in reclaiming a piece of history aligns perfectly with our mission to build homes with enduring character and value.

A Partnership Forged in History: Manomin Resawn Timbers
In an era of convenient, mass-produced materials, the opportunity for homeowners to incorporate natural, character-rich elements into their homes has become increasingly rare. Manomin Resawn Timbers, founded in Minnesota in 2002, emerged to counter this trend. Their mission is to provide homeowners with a connection to the past through the timeless beauty of reclaimed wood, a philosophy that resonates deeply with Stonegate’s own commitment to lasting quality.

Manomin is dedicated to salvaging a piece of American history. Every piece of wood they refinish is carefully salvaged from structures built during the rapid expansion of the 19th and early 20th centuries. The barns, factories, and warehouses from this period were constructed using old-growth timbers of a size and quality that modern forestry can no longer produce. This superior raw material, rich with the patina of time, allows Manomin to offer a product that is not just beautiful, but also a sustainable piece of history.

Bringing Reclaimed Beauty to Creekside at Huntersbrook
This shared vision for quality and heritage made the collaboration between Stonegate Builders and Manomin Resawn Timbers a natural fit. We were thrilled to partner with them on our very first home in our newest neighborhood, Creekside at Huntersbrook. The project was an opportunity to showcase how reclaimed materials can elevate a modern home, infusing it with warmth and unparalleled character.

In this showcase home, the historic wood from Manomin became a central design feature. We integrated stunning reclaimed wood beams into the great room, kitchen, and master bedroom, creating powerful architectural focal points. To add texture and a sense of history, we paneled the ceilings in the sunroom, office, master bath, and wet bar with the same reclaimed wood. The result is a home that perfectly balances modern luxury with rustic authenticity, a space that is uniquely its own and built to be cherished for generations. This collaboration is a perfect example of how choosing local, quality-focused partners allows us to build homes with a story.
