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 Oakes? Edge Enterprise LLC is a family-owned contractor with 25+ years in the trade and over 1,000 framed units in its portfolio. Oakes may be small, but small-town projects get our full crew and full attention — that's the Long Prairie way, and it's how Edge Enterprise was built.
Oakes sits roughly 3 hr 15 min from our Long Prairie HQ. For multi-week framing packages we stage crews locally, so drive time never becomes your schedule's problem. North Dakota builds run under the state-adopted IBC/IRC, with city building departments — and open-prairie wind exposure — driving the structural detailing. Typical design values for the Oakes area — ground snow load around 30–40 psf, design wind speeds of 115–120 mph (open-prairie exposure), and frost depths near 60–80 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 Oakes and throughout Dickey 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.
