Peter Crain
Long before Peter Crain founded Trestle Homes, he was a sculptor, using wood, clay, and metal to express thoughts, ideas, and feelings. As a builder, Peter is still an artist, creating distinctive homes for clients who value his quiet manner, refined taste, and meticulous attention to detail. Whether he and his team are remodeling a mid-century bungalow for a young family, building a luxurious new home for a pair of empty nesters, or renovating a house to make life easier for a client with a disability, Peter brings his signature mix of artistry and empathy to every project. When he's not working, Peter donates his time to The Basilica Landmark in Minneapolis. He and his wife and their Vizsla, Ozzie, live near Lake Harriet.
