Buck Brothers Construction provides complete design-build services to the urban core neighborhoods of the Twin Cities, with offices in the Seward neighborhood. Founded in 1983 by Bob and Joe Buck, our extensive experience with vintage urban homes allows us to anticipate and solve construction issues smoothly; avoiding the mid-job “surprises” that prolong projects and add costs.

We live and work in the local neighborhood, making us ideally suited to understand the value of your classic home.  Our skilled carpenters provide high quality craftsmanship, and are conscious and respectful of the fact that we are visitors in your home.

With our dedicated staff and locally based sub-contractors, we are equipped to handle any project, small or large. If your needs are limited, we can quickly take care of a minor bath remodel or window installation.  For larger projects – kitchen, baths and additions - we can provide design services, or work with your architect, assemble the team and manage the process to complete your dreams - on time and within your budget.

Many homeowners are committed to sustainable construction.  We are a founding member of Minnesota GreenStar, the local green certification program for remodelers and are the only company to have received two Gold Certificates – for projects located in south Minneapolis.

Please stop at our booth at the fair and ask about a free initial consultation.  Invite us into your home – look to the Buck Brothers to be your partners in construction!

Minneapolis & Saint Paul Home Tour: Real Homes. Real People. Real Ideas.
 
If you’re finding your living space too small, disorganized, or in disrepair, get out to the Minneapolis & Saint Paul Home Tour April 28-29. Free and self-guided, it’s a great weekend to get ideas on reworking your space, finishing unfinished levels, adding on or building new in the city.
 
About 50 homes will be open in the two cities.  You will be able to talk with homeowners and professionals about projects ranging from basements to whole-house remodels, with lots of kitchens, baths and master suites in between. Pick up tips and tricks for what you can do yourself, and see how hiring professionals can help you avoid costly mistakes.
 
The tour, in its 25th year celebrating city living and home improvement inspiration, also shows off the neighborhoods in the core cities. Real estate agents are encouraged to hold open houses near tour locations so there may be “for sale” homes available to consider if you’re thinking of moving.
 
Tour hours are Saturday, April 28, 10 a.m.-5 p.m., and Sunday, April 29, 1-5 p.m. Printed guides will be available at metro libraries in April, and homes will be listed and detailed on the website www.MSPHomeTour.com.

The Minneapolis & Saint Paul Home Tour is made possible by sponsorship of about two dozen public and private entities.
