Complex custom homes — vaulted great rooms, long-span beams, complicated roofs — framed by crews who like the hard ones.
Looking for custom home framing in Melrose? Edge Enterprise LLC is a family-owned contractor with 25+ years in the trade and over 1,000 framed units in its portfolio. Small towns like Melrose are where we're from — Edge Enterprise is headquartered in Long Prairie (pop. 3,400), so we understand Stearns County building the way locals do.
Our Long Prairie, MN base puts Melrose about 30 minutes out. We plan mobilization, material staging, and crew rotations around that from day one. Projects here fall under the Minnesota State Building Code, with local city or county building officials as the AHJ. Typical design values for the Melrose area — ground snow load around 42–50 psf, design wind speeds of 105–115 mph, and frost depths near 60 in. — are baked into how we detail and build here; final values are always confirmed with the local building official.
Hips, valleys, dormers, curved and vaulted ceilings — the roofs production framers turn down are the ones our crews enjoy.
Glulam, PSL, and steel carrying beams set right, with the temporary shoring and sequencing thought through before the crane shows up.
Custom homes come with custom details. We read the full set, flag conflicts early, and build what the architect drew — not an approximation of it.
Yes — Edge Enterprise frames architect-designed custom homes in Melrose and throughout Stearns County, working with custom builders and directly with owners' GCs.
That's the work we like best. Vaulted ceilings, intersecting hips and valleys, dormers, and exposed structure are exactly where an experienced framing crew earns its keep.
For a typical custom home, 6–10 weeks of lead time lets us hold a crew slot for you. Earlier is better on lake homes and mountain builds where the season compresses everything.
Yes — we'd rather ask the engineer a question before the wall goes up than after. RFIs, shop-drawing review, and site visits with your design team are part of the service.
