Anchor Builders

We are 5 years out from our teardown/rebuild completion and couldn't be happier. The design was well thought out (with our intentions and personal taste in mind) and the craftsmanship is beautiful. Most importantly, we can't say enough about the Anchor team. Each member we worked with, both in design and build, made us feel like we were a part of the Anchor family and took all of our ideas and concerns to heart. It's great to have a relationship with a team that is as responsive today as they were during the build process. If we had to do it all over again, we wouldn't change a thing!

We met with many different architects and design-build firms before selecting Anchor Builders. Anchor impressed us with an honest and transparent approach to design and construction. We visited many open houses and have consistently found that Anchor homes are the highest quality craftsmanship. Building a custom home is a journey, and Anchor Builders are the best guides you will find. Over the past six months, Anchor has guided our exploration of ideas and wishes for a new home. They merged our visions into a beautiful design that is true to us. It has been an adventure. The most significant challenge was managing the limitations of a budget. Anchor listened carefully and helped us to determine what was most important - turning limits into opportunities to reimagine our future home. We are delighted with the final design and super excited to start construction.

Highly recommend Anchor Builders. They not only offered competitive rates, they provided a high quality design and results that were better then anything I could imagine! Felt like I was in good hands the whole time, supported by quality and knowledgeable people.

Very professional and customer oriented builder. They are great to work with from conception to execution. Every team member at every level is on the ball. I Highly recommend Anchor Builders!

As the 2021 Board President of NARI - MN, I am excited to have Barak as our Vice President, 2021 and our 2022 Board President. His many years of experience, recognition and awards will all bring so much to the Board in the coming years. He is a pleasure to work with and a great partner on the board. Alana

I have been writing about remodeling projects in the Twin Cities for several years and have had the opportunity to tour a number of Anchor Builders projects. I have always been impressed by the quality of their work. Thoughtful designs and superb craftsmanship are evident in each remodel. And it always is fun to see brothers working together to create beautiful projects. I am a fellow member of the National Association of the Remodeling Industry. I have not personally hired Anchor Builders.

We used Anchor builders to remodel our kitchen, dining and living room and entry. We love our new space. We loved working with them so much that a year after the first project was complete we worked with their design team and had them do a remodel of our main bathroom which we also love. Shortly thereafter we decided to remove our wood burning fireplace and cap the roof where the chimney had been. Even though this was not a big project, they agreed to come out and do that for us as well. Our communication and service from Anchor builders has always been incredible, a great and reliable team. Sincerely, Robert Becker

Every home remodel consists of unpredictable twists and turns. When selecting a team for such a journey you want to know that you are working with someone of high integrity, character, transparency and most importantly that you can trust. From start to finish of our project John and Barak consistently demonstrated these traits. Challenges are in no short supply during a remodel which provides ample opportunity for a person to reveal their true character. When facing challenges, we always knew that we could count on John and Barak to partner with us to figure out the best course of action. In particular, John's fortitude and thoughtfulness was the human glue that held our project together and brought it to life. If you are picking a remodeling team, John is definitely a first round draft pick. The words "Trust" and "Contractor" are not often used together; however, if you are looking for a "Contractor" that you can "Trust", then we would highly recommend Anchor Builders.

We had a pleasure working with Anchor Builders two years ago. Every person we dealt with at Anchor was very professional, the communication was always clear, Barak and John were realistic with budget and schedule, never overpromised or underestimated. We were especially impressed with their framing crew. Because it was an addition to a 1950’s house, we were dealing with some unknowns and a few surprises during the process. We felt like the team approached the issues with open mind and offered creative solutions. Some of the finishing details were fairly complicated and the team had no problem executing them. Anchor Builders came into our home with a great understanding of what it takes to build a custom home and were able to work with and create all our ideas and plans. The quality of their work was impeccable and they left the site clean and tidy each night. They also had great rapport with our city inspectors and had connections with knowledgeable vendors.

We hired Anchor to build a home -- our home -- first envisioned by a couple of stellar architects at Design 45. We couldn't be more pleased with the result. Every day since we moved in we've appreciated the quality of the workmanship, which is a testament not just to Anchor but also to the subcontractors it chooses (and who choose to work with Anchor). From a business standpoint, Barak and team (including our design lead Jackie and site lead Tyler) were easy to work with, responsive, timely, and worked hard with us to reach the proper balance of aesthetics and expense. I already have recommended Anchor to friends and neighbors, and will continue to do so.

Anchor Builders - What a team! Great design, great customer service and we moved into our finished house exactly on the date they had told us at the beginning. The design team came up with a house that fits in perfectly with the existing neighborhood. They promptly responded to all questions and concerns that we had throughout the process. Highly recommend!

From the moment we walked into an Anchor home at the Parade of Homes last spring, we knew they were a perfect fit to build our home in S Mpls. The level of quality and thoughtful design was unmatched to anything we had seen. I am incredibly picky and expect perfection which you don’t always see even with new construction. It was obvious they took tremendous pride in their work. We were originally going to work with an architect to design the home, but after learning more about Anchor’s Design/Build process we realized that it was significantly more cost effective and timely to work with their team. We were very impressed with the process, especially, their thoughtful and efficient use of space to maximize the square footage of the home. The construction phase was very smooth and we felt they did a great job keeping us informed along the way. It was clear Anchor worked with strong subs who took the same care with their work and valued doing things right every step along the way. Anchor has built our dream house and we don’t ever plan on moving, but if we did, we would definitely work with them again.
