“We never had the intention to build a home, we not did think we would be able to. But, we were discouraged by the inventory of homes for sale in our local market. The main reason for us was because we did not want a home with wood floors or oak mill work. The only way we could find our ideal home was to build. Jesse built us our dream home. He stood beside us and guided us through all decisions including the lot, floor plan design and our decision to use Geo-Thermal. He accompanied us for selections like tile and counter tops. He kept us on a strict budget and gave us many alternatives to our selections. Even after our home was finished he was always available for follow-up questions like suggestions for local contractors for gutters and landscaping. He has become a part of our family. Seriously, he’s on our Christmas card list. We fall in love with our home over and over again. We would definitely build again and often comment how glad we are we took this approach.”

“Jesse and Modern Construction have been great to work with!! The attention to detail and follow-up to make sure everything is done to our satisfaction has been excellent. I would highly recommend them to family and friends”

“Dave is amazing to work with. He always went out of his way to solve any questions that came up along the way. Selling our house would have been impossible without him. Also, helping to purchase a new home has been easy because he listens and knows exactly what you’re looking for. Definitely recommend working with him. Couldn’t be happier, Thank you!”

“My wife and I were living in AZ when the housing bust happened. We had just refinanced our home for $200,000 and it was appraised at $270,000 at that time. After the bust both my wife and I lost our jobs, and we could not afford to stay in our home. We got in touch with a realtor, and he appraised our home at $85,000.00 for a short sale. We ended up short selling and also filing for Bankruptcy. We moved back to MN for jobs, and after we got back on our feet in a couple years wanted to buy another home. We wanted to build again so started looking for a builder. We spoke with 4 or 5 builders, but could not get one to comit to buiding a home, and having us pay with an FHA mortgage at the end of the build. I came across Modern Constrution and sent out an email. Jesse Hartung replied and said he was confident he could get a home built for us. We went over what we were looking for, and Jesse came up with a very nice plan that met our needs. Modern Constrution is one of the few builders that also offers a HERS rating on their homes which I loved. Modern Construction builds a very energy efficient home, and the quality is beyond reproach. The build went as planned and I would highly recomend using Modern Construction for whatever size home you are planning to build. You will not regret it. There customer service is also A plus after you get moved into your new home. They are really a class act when it comes to construction”

“Jesse and his crew were great to work with. They provided top quality work at an affordable price. He was upfront with the prices and items that were his “standard” were much higher quality than other builders’ upgrades. He uses the latest technologies and is always looking for ways to improve energy efficiency of houses.”
