Testimonials From Our Clients...

“Jeff Arns has worked for us on a number of home projects over a period of several years. We cannot say enough about the personal and professional attention he has given to these projects. He is attentive to detail, has always maintained a professional yet comfortable manner in dealing with us as customers, and with each project we were kept abreast of the progress on a frequent ongoing basis. Jeff was very easy to talk to, always answered our questions readily, and kept to his projected timeline. The job site was always left neat every night. His attention to detail in the construction work was excellent. He was always willing to address our concerns. We always felt as though our satisfaction was his primary goal. We felt his charges were fair, and he held to his estimates very well. We would highly recommend Jeff to anyone.”

A Bit About Us.

Arns Family

My name is Jeff Arns, and I am the owner and president of Arns Custom Builders. I grew up in the Brainerd Lakes area where I met my beautiful wife of twenty-two years, Laura. We are the proud parents of our two wonderful children, Hailey and Ryan.

I earned my business management degree and while doing so, I began to work for a few general contractors in the area. Soon I realized that if I combined my business management knowledge with my hands on experience, I could greatly improve on both the quality of work and the client satisfaction within the industry.

After graduation, I obtained my general contractor’s license and established Arns Custom Builders in 2004. I believe that treating clients with honesty and integrity will help build long term relationships. We strive to complete every job on time and on budget. I have found that treating clients with respect, providing quality craftsmanship, and running a smooth and timely schedule allows us to rise above our competitors and leave every client fully satisfied. We would love the opportunity to work with you through your building process.
