ABOUT swencraft

QUALITY CRAFTSMANSHIP
SINCE 1995

Swencraft is owned and operated by Eric Swendsrud.  

While studying at Concordia College in the 1980's, Eric learned trim carpentry from his father. He received a B.A. in Mathematics and went on to start his own carpentry business in 1990. Eric later earned his Master's of Divinity from Bethel University in 2009.

When new home construction plummeted in 2007, Eric got his general contracting license. He and his brother, Jade, combined their skills to begin remodeling homes. 

Eric's education and background has brought him ahead with his ability to organize, plan, and communicate. Being involved in every aspect of the process in transforming a client's home brings Eric immense joy. 

A FAMILy LEGACY

Jade, Eric's brother, brings decades of experience to each job as the lead foreman. Brody has recently joined the Swencraft team as Jade's apprentice, learning the trade from his father, much like his father before him. 

Michelle, Eric's wife and our Selection Specialist, can help coordinate your desired aesthetic or style with each project. She has exceptional skills in coloration and design. 

Outside of the Swencraft family, our team includes outstanding licensed electricians, plumbers, custom cabinet makers, and HVAC technicians.
