Tired of a layout that's just not working? You love your backyard, you love your neighborhood, but your home just doesn't support your growing family the way it used to? You don't have to keep settling for less, you deserve a home you're happy to come back to after a long week!
That is exactly what we do. Our background in custom home building means we bring a level of design expertise and construction discipline to every remodel that goes far beyond cosmetic updates. Fixed price contracts, in house design, and a team that stays with you start to finish. The result is a home that finally matches the life you are living in it.

Custom Build Expertise: Most remodeling contractors think in finishes. We think in structures. Our background in custom home construction means we understand what is behind your walls before we touch them, and we know how to make a transformed home feel as good as it looks.
Transparent Pricing: We used fixed price contracts so you know exactly what you are paying before we ever break ground. What we quote is what you pay. Simple.
In-House Design: Your whole home remodel starts with a complete design plan developed by our in house team. Every room, every finish, every structural consideration mapped out before a single wall comes down. No surprises mid build. No decisions made under pressure.
How It Works
01
Consult
We start by understanding what is and is not working about your home. Your vision, your budget, and your timeline all shape how we approach the scope. No pressure, no commitment.
02
Design
Our in house design team works with you to develop plans that reflect your style and your life. Every decision is yours to make. We are here to guide you through them.
03
Build
Permits handled, schedule set, team assembled. We manage every aspect of the build and keep you informed at every stage. We do not consider the job done until every room meets the standard we set on day one.
A well executed whole home remodel in the Lake Elmo and east metro market typically adds significant value relative to the investment. The key word is well executed — quality of design and construction matters as much as the scope of the project. Homes that have been thoughtfully transformed consistently outperform partially updated homes in the local market.
Traditionally, a renovation updates or restores what is already there. New paint, new fixtures, refreshed finishes. A whole home remodel changes the structure, the layout, and the function of your home. Moving walls, reconfiguring floor plans, addressing systems, and transforming spaces from the ground up.
It depends on the situation and what was done previously. We have taken on projects where prior work was incomplete or needed to be corrected before we could move forward. Reach out and describe your situation and we will give you an honest assessment of whether we are the right fit and what the project would realistically involve.
Whole home remodel costs vary more than almost any other project type because the scope can range so widely. A project that addresses finishes throughout a home runs very differently than a full structural gut renovation. What we can tell you is that we use fixed price contracts on every project so you know exactly what you are committing to before work begins. Schedule a free consultation and we will give you an honest assessment of what your specific project would realistically cost.
This is the most important question to answer honestly before committing to a project of this scale. If you love your neighborhood, your lot, and your location but the home itself is not working for you, a whole home remodel is almost always the smarter financial decision. The east metro market means moving comes with significant costs beyond just the purchase price. If you are not sure which path makes sense we are happy to have that conversation before you commit to anything.
A fixed price contract means the price we quote is the price you pay. No surprise invoices mid build, no awkward change order conversations you did not plan for. It puts the risk on us to manage costs efficiently rather than passing overruns onto you. We believe you should know exactly what you are getting into before a single nail is driven.
