Story – Northland construction

about us

Licensed Contractor
Over 20 Years of Experience
Family Owned

Northland Construction started its business in 2001 with a simple philosophy of providing quality craftsmanship to the Brainerd Lakes Area. Our craftsmen are all from the Brainerd Lakes Area and we take great pride in the work we do.

When you choose us, you enjoy the security of knowing you are working with a construction company that is fully licensed and insured and our staff genuinely cares about you and your home.

Unlike many general contractors, Northland Construction is committed to hiring employees rather than depending primarily or exclusively on subcontractors.

Our mission

We believe that truly superior homes are built by people of high character, whose values are marked by honesty, accountability, and a dedication to doing things right the first time. Based on these timeless principles, our goal is to create long-term business relationships, to treat every project as if it were our own, and to stand behind everything we say and do. This is our passion, our mission, and our commitment to our clients.

Involved With Our Communities

And because we’re all about giving back to the communities that have given so much to us, we regularly donate to The Lakes Area Habitat for Humanity for recycling back into the community to help others build their homes, help support local youth sports teams, and advocate area youth camps like Camp Shamineau.

We also believe that success comes from a level of customer service that's second to none. We pay attention to the smallest details that add up to a big difference to homeowners. All because we won't settle for anything less than complete customer satisfaction.

We’re also proud to be members of the Brainerd Lakes Area Chamber of Commerce, Mid Minnesota Builders Association, and the National Associates of Builder.

Leading by Example

meet the owner jeremy Johnston

Born and raised in the Brainerd Lakes Area, Jeremy began his career in construction fresh out of college where he quickly found this to be his passion. After several years working as a construction foreman and supervisor, he stepped out on his own in 2001 and started Northland Construction.

Jeremy’s desire was never to be a “big contractor,” but simply one that delivered to his clients a product they were well pleased with and one he could be proud of. This philosophy, along with a humble and grateful attitude, is why our business continues to grow no matter what the economy.

Jeremy is still very involved in all portions of the construction business and is active in the Mid Minnesota Builders Association.
