About · founded 2018

Nine people.
One crew.

Alder is a custom-home builder based in Eagle River. We build between two and four homes a year. We refuse a project when the schedule doesn't fit.

On site

Cole Andersen founded Alder after eleven years framing, finishing, and project-managing for a regional GC. He hired the same five people he'd been working with, paid them year-round, and stopped chasing subs in March.

The crew has grown to nine. Two carpenters with 20+ years each, three framing leads, one electrician licensed by the state, two finish carpenters, and Cole. We bring in trades for plumbing, HVAC, and concrete. Everyone else is on payroll.

They came back six months after the punch list closed. To check the trim. Nobody does that.
