Jeff and Barb Mastley, Owners

Jeff is a third generation craftsman and has over 40 years experience in the construction trade. Growing up in Osseo, Minnesota, he started at a very young age working in the summers for both his father and grandfather, who both had their own construction companies. He learned his carpentry skills from them, and just as importantly, they taught him great work ethics and integrity. Jeff continued with the family business until 1971, when he joined the United States Marine Corps.

In 1974, he married Barb, his high school sweetheart. Jeff continued working with his father in construction, working on both new construction and remodel projects.

With Jeff’s construction knowledge and Barb’s bookkeeping background, in 1984, these two adventuresome spirits decided to step out and start their own General Contracting Company. They love meeting people from so many walks of life and working with them on their projects. Neither Jeff nor Barb can imagine any other career that would be more rewarding.

Throughout the years, Jeff and Barb have built many of their own homes. In doing so, they realize how important details are to making a house your home. They thoroughly understand every aspect of the
design/build process from experience.

Jeff and Barb lived in the Elk River, Minnesota area from 1976-1998. It is there that they raised their three children: Heidi, Jesse and Joe. Heidi is married and lives in Big Lake, Minnesota, with her husband and new baby boy. Jesse is married and serving in the Army, currently stationed at Fort Carson, Colorado, with his wife and two children. Joe is living in Nevis and works with Heartland Contractors (a forth generation craftsman).

Going on vacation “up north” is something they had done for years. The Park Rapids-Itasca Park area had been the location of many memorable vacations enjoying the great outdoors. Jeff enjoys hunting and fishing,
while Barb enjoys gardening, canoeing or just plain relaxing. Playing with the grandkids is truly the icing
on the cake for both.

In 1997, they purchased a lake lot in the Nevis area with plans to move to the area in about ten years and have a quieter lifestyle. That plan only lasted for 6 months. In May of 1998, they made the big move to Nevis, and cannot imagine ever going back. As far as the quiet lifestyle, they have never been busier in their life…..and loving it!

Today, Jeff and Barb are enjoying fruits of years of labor. They have assembled a first class
construction company with a very professional team. They have instilled the belief of building
new ideas with an old tradition of service, honesty and integrity…a pledge and a tradition that will forever
offer distinction to every project we build.
