About
Meet Jake
Rochester's sauna guy — builder, enthusiast, and the person who answers the phone when you call.
Jake didn't stumble into the sauna business. He fell in love with the sauna experience first — the heat, the ritual, the way it clears your head and resets your body — and then spent years learning how to build them right.
What started as a personal obsession turned into a craft. Jake studied traditional Finnish sauna design, experimented with different wood species and heater configurations, and built his first sauna from scratch in his own backyard. That one sauna led to another, and another, until word got around Rochester that there was someone who actually knew what they were doing.
Today, Sweet Drip Sauna serves Rochester MN and the Twin Cities with custom installations, rental experiences, and premium equipment. Every project is handled personally by Jake — no subcontractors, no crews you've never met. When you hire Jake, you get Jake.
Jake's approach is simple: build it the way he'd want it built for himself. That means using quality materials, taking the time to get the details right, and making sure every client knows how to get the most out of their sauna for years to come.
