A great remodel is about how you actually live — layout, light, and function, not just finishes. We’re a design-build remodeler, so one team carries your project from first sketch through final walkthrough, pulling every permit and coordinating every trade. No handoffs, no finger-pointing.
What We Remodel
Have a project in mind?
Let’s talk through your space, budget, and timeline — and put a real plan on paper.
What to Expect — Our Design-Build Process
One team from concept to completion — clear design, a fixed scope, and every permit and inspection handled for you.
1
In-home consultation
We listen, measure, and talk budget, function, and your wish list.
2
Design & selections
Layouts and finish selections so you can see the space before we build.
3
Detailed proposal
A clear, fixed scope and price — no vague allowances or surprises.
4
Permits
We pull building, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical permits as needed.
5
Demolition & protection
Dust containment and floor protection before careful demo.
6
Rough-in
Framing, electrical (3 Rivers Electric), plumbing, and HVAC roughed in.
7
Inspections & finishes
Rough-in inspections pass, then drywall, flooring, cabinets, tile, and paint.
8
Final walk & warranty
Final inspection, a punch-list walkthrough with you, and your written warranty.
Typical Timeline
Bathrooms ~2–4 weeks, kitchens ~4–8 weeks, basements ~4–8 weeks — we set a real schedule up front.
Permits & Inspections
Most remodels need permits plus rough-in plumbing/electrical and final inspections. We handle all of it (#BC760638).
Basement Egress
Minnesota requires an egress window for any basement bedroom — we design and install it to code.
Trades In-House
Licensed electrical through 3 Rivers Electric, with vetted plumbing and HVAC partners — coordinated by one lead.
Safety in Older Homes
Asbestos & Lead — Handled the Right Way
Opening up an older Twin Cities home can disturb asbestos (old floor tile, popcorn ceilings, pipe wrap) and lead paint (pre-1978). As an EPA Lead-Safe Certified Firm, we follow full RRP containment, and we test or presume-and-abate asbestos with licensed crews before demo.
Done Right the First Time
One Accountable Team
Design, permits, carpentry, and trades under one roof — one project lead, one phone number.
Real Craftsmanship
Tile, cabinetry, and finish carpentry done by people who care about the details you’ll see every day.
Fixed, Honest Pricing
A clear scope and price up front — no bait-and-switch allowances.
Support Before, During & After
We answer the phone during the project and stand behind the work with a written warranty.
Interior Remodeling FAQ
What does a remodel cost in the Twin Cities?
It depends on scope and finishes. As a benchmark, finished basements often run ~$30–$75/sq ft. We give a clear, fixed proposal after the design phase — no vague allowances.
Do I need permits?
Most remodels do — building plus electrical/plumbing/mechanical where applicable, with rough-in and final inspections. We pull and manage all of them.
Can I add a bedroom in my basement?
Yes — Minnesota requires an egress window for a legal basement bedroom. We design and install the egress and window well to code.
What’s design-build, and why does it matter?
One team handles design and construction, so your drawings, budget, and build all line up — fewer surprises and no finger-pointing between a designer and a separate contractor.
Do you handle electrical and plumbing?
Electrical is in-house through our sister company 3 Rivers Electric; we use vetted plumbing and HVAC partners, all coordinated by your project lead.
How long will my project take?
Bathrooms run about 2–4 weeks, kitchens and basements about 4–8 — we give you a real schedule before we start.
