About

Dovetail: an interlocking joint between two pieces of wood; to fit skillfully to form a whole

Dovetail builds custom, architect-designed home additions, renovations and new home construction. We work with leading architects and designers in the Twin Cities. We have been creating high-quality homes in the Twin Cities since 1995.

Owners Nathan Christenson and Doug Tanner share a love of the homebuilding craft, and have been collaborating since shortly after college, when they merged their construction businesses.

Client relationships are the core of our work. We meet our clients' high expectations with careful craftsmanship and enthusiasm for the many details in the homebuilding process. We take pride in creating seamless additions and renovations.  And we put the same attention to detail into the new homes we build.
