ABOUT

Our mission is to build lasting projects and strong relationships with our clients. Buck Brothers Construction provides complete and thoughtful design-build services to the Minneapolis and St. Paul core and surrounding suburbs.

Established by Bob and Joe Buck in 1983, Buck Brothers Construction has put together a trusted team of professionals designed to provide you with competence and expertise. When Bob and Joe were ready to retire, long-time employees Tracy and Jason stepped in to continue that tradition of quality and service. We are a majority woman-owned company!

Our dedicated staff and proven management process ensure that you will receive an excellent project, completed on time and within budget.

Our extensive experience with older urban homes safeguards you against unpleasant “surprises” that lead to backyard barbecue horror stories (a good thing, given that many of our employees live in the same neighborhoods as our clients)! We enjoy steady and amiable relationships with our sub-contractors and suppliers, whom we have chosen for their experience in managing the unique challenges older homes present.

Our skilled field and lead carpenters provide not only high quality craftsmanship, but they also strive to deliver considerate customer service. We are respectful of the fact that any remodeling project, no matter how small, can be a major life upheaval by its intrusion into your home. Our aim is to soften the impact of this intrusion as much as we can.

Buck Brothers is an active member of the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI), the premiere trade association geared toward providing resources for homeowners.

Tracy Kruse
Owner / Project Manager / CEO

As a Project Manager, Tracy oversees the project from beginning to end, and constantly maintains direct contact with the homeowner. Hired as a carpenter in 1999, Tracy has developed the construction and people skills to answer all of the concerns and questions from homeowners.

Jason Manthey
Co-Owner / Bookkeeper / Adminstrator

Jason has been working in accounting and operations since 1995, and joined Buck Brothers in 2012. He keeps the numbers in order and manages historic compliance and permits.

Joe Sularz
Estimator and Project Developer

Joe has over 40 years in construction, where he’s established a reputation as a lead carpenter with crack skills and an encyclopedic knowledge of building practices. Clients have praised Joe for his wonderful problem-solving abilities, creativity, artistry, and competence. Motorcycles, fishing and family round his life away from construction.

Emeritus Founders:

Joe Buck
Emeritus Co-founder

Co–founder of Buck Brothers Construction in 1983, Joe participated in every level of the business — construction, sales, production management and administration. A lifelong Twin Cities urban dweller, Joe now finds relaxation in checking out local music, applying wrenches to his array of motorcycles and discovering new sports with his family.

Bob Buck
Emeritus Co-founder

The other founding half of Buck Brothers Construction, Bob cultivated his carpentry skills in the rolling hills of rural Wisconsin in the ’70s. As with Joe, he has experience in almost every part of the business. He has also served on the board of the NARI-Minnesota and was instrumental in developing NARI’s education program. Bob stays active and fit rediscovering the joys of carpentry at his Wisconsin cabin and chasing grandsons.
