“For over a decade, Wooddale Builders and Makers have developed a strong relationship, building luxury custom homes in the Twin Cities metro area. Through their hard work and dedication to their craft, we've seen Makers grow to the size and level of notoriety they are at today. Their carpenters never cease to amaze us with the quality of their work, attention to detail, and excellent rapport with both Wooddale employees and our clients. At Wooddale, we view ourselves and our subcontractors as a single unit. A team. As an extension of Wooddale, Makers has always represented and reflected the level of excellence that we strive for. In all phases of construction, from design and estimating, to site management and quality control, to service and warranty work long after the client has moved into the home, Makers has continued to exceed our expectations.  As a builder, finding talented craftsmen that are as dedicated as we are to produce a high- end custom home is not something we take for granted, and we hope to continue our relationship with Makers Finish Carpentry for many years to come.”

I have had the pleasure of working with Sampson and his team at Makers for the past five + years, and they have consistently exceeded my expectations. As an Interior Designer, it’s essential to collaborate with partners who are reliable, creative, and committed to quality — and this team checks every box! Their craftsmanship is exceptional, their attention to detail is unmatched, and they always deliver on time. Not only are their cabinets beautifully built, but they are also incredibly responsive and easy to work with throughout the design process. Whether we’re working on a custom kitchen, a remodel job or a complete new home build, they bring expertise, professionalism, and a collaborative spirit to every project.  I truly look forward to all our design meetings.I highly recommend Makers to anyone looking for top-tier cabinetry and a truly dependable partner in the design industry.

“Working with the Makers team has been such a great experience! Sampson and Eric made the design process so easy and enjoyable—they were incredibly patient, asked all the right questions, and really brought all of our ideas and dreams to life. It never felt overwhelming, just exciting. The onsite installation crew has been fantastic as well—they listen to all our adjustments, ask for our thoughts, and make sure everything is just right. The whole team has been reliable, friendly, and clearly takes pride in their work. We’re so grateful to have you all as part of our home build!”

Makers MN is a dynamic group of hardworking people dedicated to excellence in their field and in customer service.  Led by owner Sampson Haseltine, a kind and quick-thinking soul, he has built a team that comes to every jobsite with great energy, problem solving attitudes and dedication to craftmanship.  As a designer, I have worked with Makers through multiple builders and have developed a solid relationship with the team.  They are my go-to for anything millwork related.  They manage to make all of my crazy hair-brained ideas come to life and still manage to smile while figuring it out with me.  I recommend them to anyone looking for true craftsmen to help make your home feel like it has a soul and sense of character!
