Lake House Builders

Life is better on the lake! How fortunate are we all to live in the Brainerd Lakes area? Building on a lake is a vision and goal shared by most to enjoy the best of what our area has to offer. If you’ve never owned or built a home by the water, E.L. Builders can walk with you through every step of this exciting journey, from dreaming and planning to move-in day.

Lake life is a unique way of living, and it is often reflected in the type of home designs one sees along the many Minnesota lakefronts. Many will combine a rustic flair with a touch of up north lake living, while others prefer a more modern and stylish appearance. Whatever your dream is for building a lake house, E.L. Builders has the skills and experience to erect a lake house that will exceed your highest expectations.

Lake Home Construction

If you’re starting from scratch, tearing down an existing, or re-creating what is there, E.L. Builders is there to help navigate the best possible solution for building a lake house. We are experienced with the unique challenges of building a new home on a lakefront. Your design must consider two fronts – the street view and the lake view. There are also normally space and property constraints, some from lot size and some from topography.

Even locating just the right spot for your lakefront home can be challenging, and the lot size and topography will often determine your home’s layout and eventual construction budget. E.L. Builders will work with you for the best possible site development to take full advantage of your beautiful lake view while still maintaining complete home functionality. Our lake home construction professionals have the know-how and experience to make the best possible use of your lot. Read about some lake cabin essentials when deciding on your dream cabin.
