For Troy Berg, founder of Berg Custom Builders, construction is more than a profession—it’s a lifelong calling. With 38 years of experience, Troy's journey in construction began at the age of 13, working alongside his father in the family business. Today, he continues to build not just homes but also a legacy of craftsmanship and integrity..
A graduate of Cloquet High School, Troy went on to earn a Bachelor of Science degree in Industrial Technology from Bemidji State University, specializing in construction and manufacturing technology. After gaining experience managing commercial projects in the Twin Cities, Troy returned to his hometown to partner with his father before establishing Berg Custom Builders in 2012.
In the early years, Troy partnered with area builders like Art Wojtysiak, dividing their focus between remodeling projects and new home construction. Now, Troy operates Troy Berg Construction, managing everything from payroll and project bids to material purchasing and job trailer organization for his six-employee team. With the launch of A Plus Builders in 2018, a collaborative venture with partners Josh and Jonathan, Troy has expanded his impact on the local construction scene. He is also passing his skills to his sons, ensuring the family tradition continues.
A Comprehensive Approach to Construction

Custom Home and Cabin Building
Remodels and Additions
Exterior Work and Siding
Unique Staircases and Trusses

With a meticulous approach, the team performs 85% of construction in-house, subcontracting only specialized tasks such as roofing, electrical, mechanical, and plumbing. “Having control over most of the project allows us to maintain the quality and attention to detail our clients expect,” Troy explains.
Partnering with Homeowners
Berg Custom Builders isn’t just a contractor—they’re a construction planning partner. From designing and planning to execution and project documentation, they provide homeowners with a seamless building experience. Troy’s ability to provide detailed and accurate project estimates ensures homeowners can confidently move forward with their dream projects.
A Builder, Not a Handyman
Troy’s decision to step away from home shows stemmed from a desire to highlight his expertise as a skilled homebuilder. “I’m not a handyman, I’m a builder,” he shares. Troy’s passion lies in new home construction, which allows for efficiency and precision, from receiving materials onsite to organizing trailers for specific phases of the build. “Right now, we’re working on a large one-year home build. I absolutely love what I do.”
Building the Future
Whether it’s a custom home, a commercial remodeling project, or a stunning truss design, Berg Custom Builders delivers exceptional craftsmanship and personal care. With a passion for his work and a dedication to training the next generation, Troy Berg continues to build not only homes but also a brighter future for his community.
