Our Story

Creative Custom Homes was built on one simple idea — homeowners deserved a better Build On Your Lot experience. We saw a need in the Twin Cities for a custom home builder who could truly deliver the dream while making the process clear, organized, and enjoyable from start to finish. To us, delivering the dream means staying on budget, providing complete transparency, offering expert guidance, and creating a streamlined process that gives homeowners confidence every step of the way. Building a custom home on your own land can feel overwhelming, but our team is dedicated to making it simple with honest communication, personalized design, and a stress-free experience tailored to your vision. Backed by the trusted reputation and unmatched customer experience Creative Homes has built over the past decade, Creative Custom Homes is proud to help homeowners across the Twin Cities bring their dream homes to life on the land they love.

Our Five Core Values



Good Is Not Good Enough
Never settling, aspiring to greatness.


People First
Everything we strive for surrounds our customers.


We are Passionate
We are here for you because we LOVE what we do.


Own it
Taking ownership in everything we do.


Work Hard, Play Hard

Our Niche

We build homes not houses. It's not about the sticks and bricks, countertop or cabinet choices. We believe that home is where people gather, continue their traditions and where new memories are made. Whether it's a quick move in home or one that you choose to build, let us help you find your way home.

Our Passion

Our Passion is "To Create and Deliver an Unmatched Customer Experience." It is the guiding principal for our team. It is what drives us to be the best we can be for each customer that walks through our door.

Giving Back

Making a difference in our community

Making a difference in our community

At Creative Custom Homes, giving back our time, money, and other resources is embedded into who we are. We partner with many different non-profits located around the Twin Cities because we believe it is important to give back to the communities that we serve.

Creative Homes Testimonial
“We dreamed of creating a mountain-inspired retreat right here in Minnesota, and Creative Custom Homes brought that vision to life. From the natural stone and cedar details to the open spaces and beautiful views, every part of our home feels intentional and connected to nature. We had a vision, bought a lot, and Creative made it a reality. It’s a home we dreamed about for years, and now we get to enjoy it every single day.”
Bill & Brenda Stoyke
Creative Homes Testimonial
"We met with 7 builders and we decided to go with Creative Homes and we are so glad we did. We love our home!"
Aimee & Rick Case
Creative Homes Testimonial
“We had a great experience working with Creative Custom. They were all incredibly helpful, professional, and a pleasure to work with throughout the entire process. The communication from Creative stood out compared to others we’ve talked to who have built new homes. We always felt informed and comfortable because everything was clearly explained and well managed from start to finish. Even after closing, our neighborhood builder has been responsive and quick to address warranty items, and we truly appreciate the care and follow-through from the entire team.”
The Osborne Family
Creative Homes Testimonial
“Creative Custom Homes made the building process feel exciting and stress free from start to finish. Their customer care, attention to detail, and willingness to always answer our questions meant so much to us throughout the journey. We loved working through the Design Studio selections and seeing our ideas come to life with their guidance and creativity. We’re especially excited about the bright open kitchen, the great room, all the natural light, and creating a home where our kids can grow up and our family can enjoy every season together.”
Asif & Heba
Creative Homes Testimonial
“We had a great experience with everyone involved in our home buying journey. The team helped us feel confident throughout the process and supported us through both the buying and selling stages, which made a big difference for our family. Overall, we are very happy with our Creative Custom Home and grateful for the support we received along the way.”
