Our History

Naastad Brothers, Inc. (NBI) was established in 1974.  Pete Naastad was one of four brothers who began the business at a very young age. Pete was 15 when the brothers purchased their first backhoe. The rural water system came through the area and the homeowners were finding it difficult to have someone hook up the mains to the rural houses.  Marcus Naastad, Pete’s father, said “My boys can do that.” And so, it began.  They started with a JD410 backhoe and a 1957 2-ton truck. They continued to provide excavation services in the early years.  In the early 1980’s three of the brothers left the business leaving Pete and his wife Karen to be the sole owners.  Pete and Karen concentrated on underground excavation since this was Pete’s area of expertise.  Karen had acquired majority stock when the 3 brothers left and in 1996 NBI obtained a Women Owned Business (WBE) certification. Pete and Karen kept Naastad Brothers growing and developed it into a thriving company. Their ambition was to run an efficient effective company that they could be proud of.  They did that and it showed in the growth of the business.  Their work generally consisted of utility installations, new placement, and repair. They expanded into lagoons, drainage, roadways, sitework and any other challenging opportunity that presented itself. Today it is Pete and Karen saying, “My boys can do that.” As Adam and Ben along with Ben’s wife, Kallie, are now heading up the business at Naastad Brothers.

Naastad Brothers continues to grow in a very competitive industry and simply put…..It’s because we are good at what we do!

I have worked with Naastad Brothers on several projects over the years. There are several constants in working with them: they do a very good job, they stand behind their work, and they keep their word. I highly recommend them.

Naastad’s have “been there” for the city of Northwood when emergencies, such as when water main breaks occur! They have also been good to work with to fit other city projects into their schedule.

I have had the opportunity to work with Naastad Brothers on several occasions with various municipalities across central North Dakota.  On every one of those projects, Naastad Brothers has completed the job with excellence, providing outstanding project construction services from bid award to project completion.  Ben, Adam, and their entire crew take great pride in their work, and it shows on every project they complete.

On behave of myself and the City of Hillsboro I would like to say “Thank you” to Naastad Brothers.

Whether emergencies or planned projects, we have been calling on them over 25 years for help and advice with all areas of our city utilities. Rain, shine, or freezing cold they have always dropped what they were doing to send someone to help us. First with Pete and now with Ben, Adam, and rest of the crew they still deliver excellent workmanship which reflects their quality and pride. I consider them one of the few “Mom and Pop” excavating companies left out there.  No matter the size of the work, they go above and beyond what they have been asked, leave knowing they have performed the best they can, and make sure the customer is happy. Thanks again for all the help.

Ben,

It has been a couple years since I worked with you and your team at the Hatton School project.

I wanted to thank you for all your efforts at the Hatton School.  You went above and beyond what was expected. You were always there to help us out when asked and did a great job!  Your team performed with integrity, by always doing the right thing. You were instrumental in helping solve issues that came up and getting them done.  Again, I thank you for all you did for me on the Hatton school project. It was a pleasure working with you.
