John Kraemer & Sons Hi Paul-

Yes, we would absolutely build in Stillwater. We have a remodel project starting in Stillwater soon as a matter of fact. We currently are building a home 3.5 hours outside of the Twin Cities, so Stillwater is not far at all. Please email me to discuss further. John@jkandsons.com. Thanks!

What Houzz contributors are saying:
added by Beth Woodson and Kristy Harvey to Star Home Facade Combo: Stone and Shingle
Building with stone is a tradition that dates back thousands of years but has been made simpler by modern technology. Instead of using solid, heavy stones, stone veneer is often applied to cement board or poured concrete. The resulting stones weigh from 10 to 18 pounds, making them a more practical, user-friendly choice.More:Stone Shows Massive Potential for HomesHow to Give Your Home More Curb Appeal
