Build a Home in Iron County - North Twin Builders
Iron County – Come for the Fun, Find Home!
Named for the rich iron ore that was found within it’s borders, Iron County is a beautiful area located in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Although mining operations have ceased in the area, there are still remnants of the old days to be found. Remaining mining headframes, as well as slurry ponds, set the scene for outstanding photography opportunities in this beautiful forested region of Michigan.
North Twin Builders has constructed many new homes in Iron County, and will be happy to help you realize your dream home here.
Year Round Activities
All four seasons are busy with events and activities. Spring is a great time to check out miles of hiking and biking trails and to catch a glimpse of the migrating birds as they make their way north. In the summer, much of the population can be found taking advantage of the 314 lakes and approximately 900 miles of rivers found here. Fall creates magical scenery with the many species of trees showing off their bright colors for all to enjoy. And in the winter, snow sports such as skiing and snowmobiling take top priority, along with dog sledding and ice fishing.
Get Out and Enjoy!
With numerous lakes, rivers, forests, trails, and parks, you’ll never run out of places to go and sights to see. With friendly residents and a picturesque countryside, Iron County is a place for relaxation and recreation for all ages and lifestyles. From camping, fishing, hiking, and sailing to whitewater kayaking and downhill skiing, it’s hard not to be excited about getting out and having fun!
Rainy Day Discoveries
Due to Iron County’s history tied to mining and logging ventures, there are many interesting places to enjoy should a rainy day ruin your outdoor plans. Caspian, Crystal Falls, and Alpha have museums to explore. Iron River hosts the annual UP Pro Rodeo, which draws people from all over!

In their words
“We contracted North Twin Builders to remodel our 1950’s era Cy Williams log house. The work included a new kitchen and dining area, en-suite bathroom, structural changes to accommodate enlargement of these areas, and updates to associated utilities. The oversight of subcontractors from design to installation was excellent, and due to long standing relationships between John and these local companies. North Twin employees were top notch craftsmen and the office staff was well organized and kept us updated on orders and billing. John and his staff made routine site visits and any issues were rectified. We are very happy with ...
“North Twin Builders didn’t build our lake home in the Northwoods however John & the entire team at NTB has been a remarkable team to work with as they have made it such we can enjoy our happy place for many years to come. Having been through some not-so-good experiences with other local contractors in the area with not showing up after taking deposits for work, working with NTB is highly recommended. The log lake home my wife & I purchased has been our ultimate Northwoods dream. Unfortunately, after the 1st winter, we noticed that we had problems with ice ...
“North Twin Builders recently replaced the front porch and deck railing on my log home. The workmanship was excellent and timely. The stain matched perfectly. And it came in slightly under budget and on time. I now have found a builder that I can trust with any of the log work I may need in the future. Thank you, John and crew.”
“We have used North Twin Builders for over 35 years for all of our building needs in the Northwoods and have never been disappointed. The attention to detail, quality of work and dependability has and will keep us coming back.”
“Our Phelps WI Home was built in 1987 & a large over-sized two-car garage 2 years later. All workmanship was outstanding. Since then, we have had several major changes, including bathroom added, room added, kitchen expanded, etc. All work was done with extreme professionalism and always meeting our expectations.”
“A few years ago we started looking for a builder to create a new cottage, that felt like an old cottage, on land that had been in my wife’s family since the mid-1920s. Our search and interview process produced many rave recommendations for North Twin Builders. The sources were right. We got a unique and extraordinary work product. The craftsmen that built our home were exceptionally skilled. Most importantly, John Volkmann proved to be a man of unparalleled integrity – straight forward in guiding you through the process with thoughtful suggestions, complete honesty in billing practices, and a careful listener ...
“John Volkmann is synonymous with sterling stamped on silver! We chose John Volkmann (North Twin Builders) to raze our old family lakeside cottage and erect a new three bedroom home. He willingly worked with our design, making thoughtful suggestions and improvements. From the initial design stage, through the construction process, to the final inspection, everything progressed in perfect synchronization and harmony because John did his homework. There were no ugly surprises, no do-overs or cost over-runs, no ugly errors, no long waits for supplies or subcontractors – just a smooth problem free operation from start to finish. He used a ...
“North Twin Builders went above and beyond all our expectation. Our prior experiences with builders left us skeptical, but North Twin delivered on all commitments, kept us well informed of progress, gave us timely advice to make design improvements and brought our dream to life. This is one of a few businesses that I can give an unqualified recommendation.”
