We found our ideal lot in Longville and were completely new to the area. We knew searching for a builder could be daunting…but, we hit the jackpot when it came to finding ours. Todd Ellison and his crew of Lake Region Builders built our new home and exceeded our expectations. We were pleased with Todd’s ability to listen to our dream for the new home and bring it to completion. Warmth, Integrity, creativity, ability to communicate thoughts and ideas, plus incredible attention to detail, were all things that we enjoyed while working with Todd. His crew at Lake Region Builders is made up of true craftsmen, each of them brought years of experience and unique special touches throughout our project. Working with them all was a pleasure. Thanks to Todd and his crew we are happily settling in and living the dream in our new home.“

We could not be more satisfied with all of the work performed by Todd and his crew. Todd is very much a hands-on owner of his business. He is a creative problem solver that is passionate about the quality and workmanship of a job and does not rest until he is personally satisfied that everything is “done the right way”. Todd’s attitude influences his crew and you can tell that each of them has the same pride and attention to detail in the outcome of their work. Many of Todd‘s employees have been with him for decades.
We have no hesitation recommending Todd and his crew; we feel fortunate to have met Todd and have thoroughly enjoyed working with him on all of projects that he has completed for us. We could not be more satisfied.“

The log accents, stone fireplace and new open spaces changed our “basic floor plan” into a unique home with a special “up north” feel. Whenever Julie and I have friends visit they are amazed at how beautiful everything turned out. The craftsmanship is truly remarkable.”

Eight months ago we undertook the significant responsibility of serving as general contractor for the construction of our dream home on the south shore of Leech Lake. Now that it’s safe to say we are in the “home stretch”, we wish to extend our sincere thanks for the admirable service and workmanship we received from Lake Region Builders. Of all the decisions we have had to make about this project, and there have been many, it is our belief that none has been more critical than our choice to work with Lake Region. Moreover, I want to thank you for your patience, Todd. I came into the contractor role without previous experience, and you have always been so generous with your time and advice, making sure we were fully informed so we could get the best value and result for our decisions.
When we were just getting started, I recall vividly my nervousness and realizing that we would not have a fall season project, but because of unavoidable delays, we would instead doing most of the construction in full winter weather conditions. I worried about what quality of work I could expect when temperatures fell to zero and below. I can say now that I believe the workmanship we received from your carpenters was every bit as good as a project completed in the best of conditions! I can’t tell you how impressed I was that your guys were at the site at 10 below zero, and stuck out the many hostile weather days that we have experienced this winter, always pleasant, always professional.
We think our log home looks like it belongs on the cover of a magazine for showplaces, though that was never anticipated. We give a large part of the credit for this to Lake Region Builders. The several small design changes that you recommended from an initially simple building plan made a great deal of different in creating what is truly a custom-designed and constructed home. We also really appreciate that costs and value were always considered whenever you made recommendations. Your quality standard, stated several times, was that if you had your name on it, it was going to be done right. This rang true throughout the project.
Todd, we’d be happy to take calls or even visits to our home for the purpose of showing the quality of workmanship that your potential customers could expect. You’ll get glowing remarks from us in all categories.
Again, thank you so much, and please pass our thanks on to your guys for their dedication and skilled workmanship.”
Sincerely,
Mike & Tammy McGee
