Mikan Custom Homes, LLC

Mike Youngs & Ryan Jones

How did you get started in the building industry?
With a shared love for the outdoors while casting lines for walleye, Mikan was born on a boat in the waters of northern Minnesota. With a vision of building the highest-quality homes and fostering strong relationships, Mike and Ryan bring 35 years of industry experience to lay the groundwork for Mikan Custom Homes. As Mikan enters its fifth year, it will showcase its third home on the Artisan Home Tour.

What sets your company apart?
As a small company, we provide a unique opportunity to have the company’s owners onsite daily. Our clients benefit from being able to talk directly to the owners, creating an open line of communication. At the core of the company is an emphasis on relationships. We strongly believe every project is an opportunity to create a lifelong relationship with our clients.

What inspires and influences your work?
Our inspiration comes from our client’s vision! Nothing inspires us more than sitting down with our clients and hearing about their dreams and goals for their homes. The real satisfaction for us comes from turning that vision into a reality.

What are the most important elements of a successful build team?
Communication, trust, and an unwavering commitment to the fine details create both a successful build and a team. Everyone working on the project must know the expectations of the final product.
