What we do best
Local, hands-on, and accountable
Tri-County Professional Builders has been building homes, additions, decks and remodels since 1988. In 2020 we moved the business to Crosslake, and today we work with homeowners and cabin owners across the Brainerd Lakes Area, from Crosslake and Brainerd to Nisswa, Pequot Lakes and Breezy Point.
Owner Jacob Novak runs every project in person. Our crew handles the framing and carpentry, and we bring in trusted local subcontractors for specialty trades like concrete and mechanicals, so you always have one person to call who knows your project inside and out.
