Wes Hanson Builders Design Office - Crosslake, Minnesota

We approached Wes Hanson in Fall of 2022 about building a cabin home in Emily MN. My family has owned the lot for several years and has been a long-term dream of ours to put something on the plot of land. We met with Matt onsite to relay our needs, wishes, and more importantly our modest budget. After roughly 7 months of being ignored, they finally got us a preliminary floor plan that was nowhere near what was originally talked out. We then decided to bypass Matt and talk directly to Emilee, the floor plan designer. At this point, we reiterated our budget concerns and was reassured that they were designing within our constraints. After about 9 months from our initial contact, we finally had a floor plan that we liked. We were at the point where doors, windows, color schemes, and final finishes were being selected when they decided to do an internal cost estimate for the project. They set the price at 4 to 5 times our budget! After calming ourselves, we asked them straight up if they were capable of designed a cabin within our budget. The answer was no, and we ended up parting ways.

In the end it felt like they just wanted to get rid of us. They ignored our needs and budget to the point where it borders incompetence, not to mention wasting an entire construction season. On top of showing us a dream cabin and then ripping the rug out from under us, they made us feel small and unimportant. I would absolutely not recommend working with Wes Hanson.
