Where It All Started

Learning true craftsmanship the old fashioned way, Dean Hanson tutored under his father Ken Hanson - a master craftsman himself since 1948. From the early years working with a contractor remodeling 100 year old homes, to the exquisite detailing found in our upper-bracket custom homes & townhomes today, Dean has remained true to the values he learned early on. Today, he continues to keep Hanson Builders, Inc. on the leading edge of the marketplace by attracting and maintaining a complete, highly trained staff and passing on his passion and experience for homebuilding to his team.


Where We Are Going

As the company has grown we've forged into market leadership in the design area. Our design team includes an amazing collaborative of some uniquely talented folks. They have and continue to design cutting-edge floorplans that win awards, but are also very cost-effective to build. Whether you are looking to spend $400,000 or $1M+, Hanson Builders might be the right builder for you.

We now build in the hottest selling communities including Plymouth, Maple Grove, the Blaine LAKES, and a little pocket community in Little Canada.

We now have four communities in #284 Wayzata Schools District.
