Our Story
Decades of hands-on experience, a family connection to the trade, and a shared commitment to doing things the right way.
Built on Experience. Rooted in Family.
Our family's history in construction began in 1986, when Greg Carson started working for a contractor during his college summers. After graduating and briefly pursuing a career in criminal justice, he returned to construction full-time. A few years later, he started his own handyman business in Fargo, North Dakota. As the business grew, he obtained his North Dakota contractor's license and continued building his experience.
Construction opportunities eventually brought the Carson family to Minnesota in 2000. Over the years, Greg worked with a variety of established contractors, retailers, and window and door companies, developing extensive experience in residential construction, installation, and remodeling.
Matthew grew up around the trade, helping his dad on projects during summers as a teenager. After graduating high school in 2017, he spent a year working for a residential framing company before joining Greg full-time. Together, they continued building their experience through subcontracting and projects of their own.
In 2019, Greg and Matthew decided to take the next step. Wanting to work more directly with homeowners and provide the kind of construction experience they believed customers deserved, they obtained contractor licenses in Minnesota and Wisconsin and focused on growing Carson Construction.
Today, Carson Construction remains a hands-on, family-owned business committed to quality workmanship, straightforward communication, and treating every project with care.
The People Behind Carson Construction

Greg Carson
Greg's construction career began in 1986, working summers for a contractor while attending college. After gaining hands-on experience, he established his own contracting business in Fargo, North Dakota, eventually bringing his family and construction experience to Minnesota in 2000.
Throughout his career, Greg has worked with established contractors and major window and door installation programs, building decades of experience in residential construction and remodeling. His knowledge, craftsmanship, and dedication remain an important part of Carson Construction today.
Outside of work, Greg has always had a passion for the outdoors and adventure. He grew up riding dirt bikes and has enjoyed everything from motorcycles and side-by-sides to hunting, fishing, RV trips, and gold prospecting. When he's not working on a project or enjoying the outdoors, there's a good chance you'll find him tending the smoker and cooking up something delicious for family and friends.
Matthew Carson
Matthew grew up around residential construction and agriculture, developing an appreciation for hard work and working with his hands from an early age. He began helping his dad on construction projects during summers as a teenager and also spent three years working on a dairy farm. After graduating high school in 2017, he spent a year working for a residential framing company before joining Greg full-time.
Since then, Matthew has continued developing his skills in construction and remodeling. Beyond working in the field, he enjoys exploring new ideas, improving the way Carson Construction operates, and finding opportunities to grow the family business. He's always looking for ways to expand his knowledge, sharpen his craftsmanship, and provide a better experience for homeowners.
Outside of work, Matthew enjoys spending time with his kids, family, and dogs. He's an avid outdoorsman who enjoys hunting, riding four-wheelers, and learning new things. Whether he's tackling a construction project, exploring a new idea, or spending time with his family, he enjoys staying busy and making the most of each day.
