Remodels built to the nearest sixteenth.

We design and build whole-house remodels, kitchens and additions around Minneapolis and the lakes. One team, one fixed price, and never more than three houses on the go.

  3. 3.One project lead runs your site from the walk-through to the final punch list.
  4. 4.Our work is warrantied for two years, with a check-in visit at twelve months.

A-301Sequence of work

A typical whole-house remodel, week by week. Kitchens usually take about half as long.

  1. 1 Walk-through

    We measure the house and talk through what you want and roughly what it costs.

    Weeks 0 to 1.

  2. 2 Drawings and fixed price

    Our designer draws it up. You get one price for the whole job before anything is signed.

    Weeks 1 to 4.

  3. 3 Build

    One project lead runs the site, with a written update every Friday.

    Weeks 4 to 24.

  4. 4 Punch list and warranty walk

    We walk the house with you and fix every item on the list.

    Weeks 24 to 26.
