Building a New Home

In 2000, we built a model modular home north of Menomonie. Insulated crawlspace houses all mechanicals. 2x4 wall with foam sheathing is very energy efficient. New storm windows and patio door.

A custom built home custom designed by the owner in 1989. Insulated poured foundation. Southern views take in light and heat when needed. Positive drainage around to divert rain water into rain garden.

Custom designed modular home built in 1994. Super efficient and durable windows. Parade Home. Insulated foundation. Flash Filter vent at dormer.

Custom designed by Courtney Nystuen. To blend perfectly with existing home in Woodland Terrace. Economy is achieved with Room In Attic trusses- creating more 'free' storage space above without adding to earth imprint. Good design that blends with it's environment is one example of Green Design.

Custom Built in 1991 on Lake Tainter. Designed by Architectural Design Group. Deep overhangs move out the drip line. Rigid foam insulation on walls plus batts. Sealed box sills.

Custom designed by owner in the hills west of Colfax. Tightly sealed home. Infloor radiant heat. Locally supplied poplar ceiling panels. Energy efficient windows. Finished off Basement.

Restoration after a fire, this home was totally rebuilt in Menomonie in 2001. New Windows. Sealed box joists and air chutes. Taped house wrap on all exterior surfaces for effective drainage plane. Cleaned and reused entire foundation.

Custom designed garage and storage by Courtney Nystuen of Menomonie. Building has EIFS stucco system to compliment appearance of existing home. Project included expanding piano room into existing garage.

A New Home's a great way to realize your dreams.

Building a New Home is a great way to get a home that truly reflects the customers personalities, wishes, and dreams. It is a way to start out with the greenest of building components such as the best insulation, the most durable surfaces, the more healthy floorings or the most efficient mechanical systems.

Heritage Builders is a licensed company of experienced and trained master carpenters, knowledgeable in the Building Code and Energy Efficient Construction with over 30 years of experience.
