The name Stone Mountain is fitting for our region of towering granite peaks and breath-taking vistas of majestic Lakes and Rivers below, however the name Stone Mountain for us represents the English translation for our Norwegian name Stenberg, “sten” meaning stone and “berg” meaning mountain.

 

The Stenberg’s immigrated from Central Norway and brought their love of Nordic Architecture with them. Nordic Architectural employs a combination of hewn beam and log to produce an extraordinary unique timeless look. The Stave Churches that dot the valleys of Norway date back 1,000 years and many are in use today. There is no metal connections used and rely on the time-tested method of Nordic timber framing. While we don’t anticipate a run-on Stave Church contracts coming our way however, we do try to keep the ancient Nordic craftmanship visible in our wood crafting.

 

Jerome graduated from the US Army’s School of Engineers in the early 1970’s and has a deep portfolio of accrued knowledge and expertise in building everything from luxury Executive Town Homes on the Florida Keys to the Charlo Montana Schools Multipurpose Building and Gym to high end Executive Homes in the Mitchell Lake Development of Minneapolis to luxury Flathead Lake homes to one of a kind Residential Masterpieces in Big Sky Montana. SMB received the coveted Reggie Award of Excellence from the Builders Association of the Twin Cities.

 

 The Stenberg Family is proud of its tradition of craftsmanship that separates them from the common “paper” contractor. In the over 300 homes or buildings that SMB was commissioned to construct, approximately half were under other General Contractors with SMB subcontracting to frame, do log or timber framework, roof, side, do the drywall, pour concrete, excavate, or do the finish carpentry. This might explain how SMB is somewhat unique in that not only are we very capable and experienced in developing your plans and vision to the final finished Dream Home, but we also has decades of expertise in the skills required to physically build your project and supervise the sub-contractors as well.

  

​Two Stenberg family members are Master Carpenters. With our depth of building knowledge, we feel we can meet the wide range of construction challenges that arise be it redirecting a carpentry crew or dealing with a construction or material issue.

  

​Many homeowners have commented how refreshing it is to deal with a builder that can actually build. Our pledge to you is that Stone Mountain Builders personnel will maintain a constant presence over all phases of construction and will take the lead role in directing the wide array of reputation subcontractors working on your project. We are not the ordinary” paper contractor”. We take great pride in being a “Respite from the Ordinary”.
