Sawhorse Designers & Builders has been creating dream homes since 1977, expertly blending craftsmanship, hard work, and professionalism. With in-house design and architectural services, our design studios turn visions into reality.
Sawhorse was originated from a working friendship of Jim Rothbauer and Dave Dahl. Their ambition, drive, and entrepreneurial spirit led them to venture on their own to start a new room addition/remodeling company – SAWHORSE. With a pension for full page ads and a clever logo Sawhorse grew. For over 45 years Sawhorse Designers & Builders has been providing industry leading remodeling services for the entire seven county metropolitan area. Leadership passed to Jim’s son John Rothbauer who managed Sawhorse through 2025.
