Built by the Family That Lives Here

Plenty of builders will drive to Rushford for a job. We wake up here. Rasmussen Construction has been headquartered in Rushford since Mark founded the company in 1987, and a meaningful share of the homes in this town and the valley around it carry our framing. When your builder's kids go to school with yours, the definition of 'standing behind the work' changes.

We build across every kind of local site: in-town lots, walkouts stepped into the bluffsides, and — our favorite — country homes on acreage up in Rushford Village and along the Root River valley toward Peterson, Houston, and Lanesboro. Acreage builds come with questions town lots don't ask (wells, septic, driveways measured in tenths of a mile, machine sheds to plan around), and after 150+ homes in this country, we know the answers.

Every build runs the same way: an honest fixed bid with allowances spelled out, Josh and Justin on-site daily, local subs we've trusted for decades, and a walkthrough where we're as picky as you are — because we'll be seeing this house, and you, for the rest of our lives.

Building in Rushford FAQ

How much does it cost to build a house in the Rushford area?
Most of our custom builds run $200–$300+ per square foot depending on finishes and site work; a 2,000 sq ft home typically starts in the $400,000s plus land, well/septic, and driveway on rural sites. Our bids are fixed and itemized so the real number is on paper before we break ground.
Can you handle a full acreage build — well, septic, driveway and all?
Yes. We coordinate well drilling, septic design and installation, power, and driveway construction alongside the house itself — one builder, one schedule, one point of contact. It's the majority of what we build out here.
How long does a custom home take?
6–9 months of construction for most homes, plus design and permitting up front. Rural sites add a few weeks for well/septic sequencing. You get a written timeline with the bid.
Do you only build big, expensive homes?
No — we've built everything from modest single-story homes to large custom builds. What stays constant is the standard: the same framing, insulation, and detail quality goes into every house, whatever the budget.
