Minnesota Custom Home Builder to Know: Werschay Homes

At Manomin Resawn Timbers, we’re proud to partner with builders who understand that a home is more than a structure, it’s a story. A space to live, gather, reflect, and grow. Werschay Homes exemplifies that philosophy. As a premier Minnesota custom home builder, they blend craftsmanship with creativity, tradition with innovation.

We’ve seen this firsthand in projects that feature our reclaimed wood, and just as powerfully in those that don’t. Whether using antique materials or state-of-the-art finishes, Werschay Homes delivers custom work that is both deeply personal and architecturally sophisticated.

A Minnesota Custom Home Builder Grounded in Values

Founded by David and Mollie Werschay in 2003, Werschay Homes has grown into one of the most respected residential builders in Central Minnesota. David brings decades of leadership in the construction world, while Mollie, an accomplished interior designer, helps shape each home with warmth, balance, and a designer’s intuition.

Their company is rooted in four guiding values—Honesty, Integrity, Flexibility, and Innovation, or “HIFI.” These principles inform every project, from initial planning to final walkthrough. Their ability to offer both traditional builds and full-service Design + Build solutions means clients can expect a seamless experience, and a finished home that’s beautiful, functional, and entirely unique.

Stone Manor: A Reclaimed Wood Masterpiece

Our collaboration with Werschay Homes and Redstone Interiors on Stone Manor perfectly captures what’s possible when reclaimed materials meet exceptional design. This stately home uses antique white oak paneling and box beams from Manomin in a way that feels elegant, cohesive, and timeless.

As you move through the home, the eye is constantly drawn upward—first in the stairwell, where the reclaimed wood ceiling adds natural texture and depth. In the kitchen and dining room, close-set slats of box beams create rhythm and shadow, acting almost like a piece of architectural sculpture.

The same custom woodwork continues in vaulted ceilings, bathrooms, and cozy corners, grounding the home in warmth and heritage. Paired with stone walls, expansive windows, and thoughtful lighting, our materials feel right at home—elevated by Werschay’s precise installation and Redstone’s inspired design.

Custom Sports Barn: Function, Fun, and Scale

Designed to be both luxurious and high-performance, this expansive Ultimate Sports Barn features a full basketball court, complete with regulation hoops, seating and equipment nooks, and integrated lighting that mirrors commercial-grade facilities. But this isn’t just a gym, it’s a lifestyle space. Off the court, you’ll find a custom sauna, full bathroom with a walk-in shower, and a lounge area complete with a full kitchen and living space.

Upstairs, the mezzanine level offers a game area with ping pong, shuffleboard, and a bar-height viewing deck. Every detail, from the wood-paneled ceilings to the herringbone tile in the shower, feels tailored and intentional. It’s a reminder of what sets Werschay apart: their ability to match scale with precision, and function with finish.

Mississippi Modern: Warm Minimalism at Its Finest

For a completely different take on custom living, the Mississippi Modern home stands out as a light-filled celebration of material and form. Built with clean lines, flat rooflines, and large expanses of glass, this home leans into modern design without sacrificing warmth or comfort.

Natural light floods every space through floor-to-ceiling windows, while the extensive use of stone—both inside and out—adds organic texture. Light-toned wood floors and cabinetry soften the modern edges, and layers of textiles throughout the home create a sense of relaxed sophistication.

There’s a beautiful interplay here: between soft and strong, warm and cool, minimal and inviting. From the sleek kitchen to the floating staircase, Werschay’s mastery of detail is clear. It’s a home that feels architectural yet livable, modern yet deeply rooted in the surrounding landscape.

Built on Relationships, Powered by Trust

What makes Werschay Homes a standout Minnesota custom home builder isn’t just their portfolio, it’s their approach. They’ve built long-standing relationships with local trade professionals and suppliers, allowing them to deliver consistent quality and exceptional pricing. Their preferred partner status within the local industry also means they can execute large and complex builds without delay.

And perhaps most importantly, their clients trust them. That trust is reinforced by a transparent process and a collaborative team.

A Shared Passion for Craft

At Manomin Resawn Timbers, we care deeply about the legacy and texture that reclaimed wood brings to a space. But materials are only as meaningful as the hands that shape them. That’s why our partnership with Werschay Homes is so fulfilling—they bring integrity and intention to every square foot, every decision, and every home.

Whether highlighting our white oak paneling in Stone Manor, designing a next-level family sports complex, or delivering sleek, glass-forward architecture along the Mississippi River, they demonstrate that custom homebuilding is both an art and a craft.

And they do it all with HIFI values at the core.
