Our Step-by-Step Remodeling Process

Remodeling in the Twin Cities should feel exciting, organized, and never confusing. Our proven process keeps you informed and confident from the first conversation to the final walkthrough. Whether you want to remodel your kitchen or spring for a whole-home remodel, our design-build process ensures you always know what comes next.

1. Initial Meeting

Every successful remodel starts with listening. Many homeowners come to us with ideas and questions about what is possible. In this first meeting, we learn about your goals, style, needs, and budget. We talk through what to expect when remodeling your home and explain how we handle older houses, hidden surprises, and timelines. This builds trust from the beginning.

2. Design and Budget

The scope of your project shapes everything that happens next. Soon after our first talk, we sit down again to share a clear plan, a straightforward estimate, and design ideas you can picture in your own home. We review your budget range and the projected cost of your remodel with our cost guide, and talk through the remodeling project timeline so there are no surprises later.

3. Contract Signing

When you feel confident about the plan and the numbers, we put it in writing. Signing the contract adds your project to our schedule. We limit the number of remodeling projects we take on at one time. This means your basement renovation, bathroom remodel, or home addition gets our full attention.

4. Your Selections

This is where your vision takes shape as you choose features and finishes. Many homeowners say choosing finishes is the best part of remodeling their kitchen or bathroom. We make it simple and clear.

Here's how we do it:

  • We share a detailed Google Doc with a list of everything you will pick and realistic budget allowances.

  • Our designers help you choose trusted local suppliers for flooring, tile, countertops, cabinets, fixtures, and lighting.

  • You meet our custom cabinet maker to finalize the layout, wood type, finishes, and door styles.

  • We guide you step by step so you feel in control and never lost in too many choices.

5. Trade Partner Visits

While you make selections, our trade partners visit your home. They check the project in person, ask questions, and prepare detailed bids for things like plumbing, electrical, flooring, and tile work. This extra step keeps your remodeling project realistic and helps avoid surprises later.

6. Construction

The construction phase is when your new space becomes real. Whether you are remodeling a kitchen, updating a bathroom, or reworking an entire floor, our team follows the plan carefully and keeps you updated. You get a custom calendar for your projects, so you know what is happening and when. We handle product orders, coordinate with trade partners, and solve issues early so your project keeps moving forward. Take a look at our work and imagine what your finished result might look like.

7. Final Walk-Through

When construction is complete, we walk through your finished space with you. Together, we check each room and make a punch list for any final touch-ups. We do not consider the project finished until you are happy with every detail.

8. Thank You Meeting

Once every item is complete, we meet again to thank you for trusting us with your home. We share a small gift card as a thank you. We also ask for your honest feedback and invite you to share your experience so others know what to expect when they choose us as their Twin Cities remodeler.

I couldn’t be happier with how Executive Remodeling took care of our house
The finished house is better and far exceeded what we originally planned. Their ideas and execution were top-notch. Suggestions to change flooring and cabinets turned out fantastic. Suggestions weren’t pushy–choices were ours to make. They took care of a few details we overlooked, and they’ve been wonderful to work with. I couldn't be happier with how Executive Remodeling took care of our house. Not painful at all

Working with Executive Remodeling was a great experience
Working with Executive Remodeling was a great experience. As a first-time home remodeler, I was very overwhelmed with all the details of my full bathroom remodel and had no idea where to start. The team, especially the designer, was very helpful, patient, and responsive to all communication. Overall I’m very happy with the final results and would recommend them to anyone for a bathroom!

Excellent company to work with. The scheduling was well-coordinated, the contractors were excellent, and the kitchen turned out absolutely beautiful. Couldn’t have asked for a better Twin Cities design-build company to work with.

We definitely enjoyed working with Executive Remodeling
We definitely enjoyed working with Executive Remodeling. They were always friendly and responsive. We initially chose them because they gave us a reasonably priced and detailed estimate, so we knew exactly what we were paying for. Like any major remodel, there were hiccups, but they were more than willing to fix any errors at no cost to us. In the end, we were thrilled with our gorgeous new bathroom and enjoy using it every day!

Our experience with Executive Remodeling was excellent from Day One!
Our experience with Executive Remodeling was excellent from Day One! We had our entire basement done, and they were great at helping put together our ideas with what was doable, staying within budget, and turning out a beautiful finished product. All of the trades that came were professional, courteous, cleaned up well after themselves, and did a beautiful job. We couldn't be more pleased and heartily recommend them!

We strongly recommend them, and their work ethic
We partnered with Executive Remodeling to finish the basement in our 1925 house that had never been finished. The basement was a difficult job due to the intricacies that come with an old house…but I’d recommend these guys for any home improvement job you’re considering. We didn't know them going into our project and were apprehensive, but the team at Executive did a great job of building and earning our trust. We are currently working with them on...
