Insight, Recommendations, And Guidance
Twin Cities residential remodeling, when done properly with professional design-build finesse, involves a lot of communication. Lots and lots. It typically begins with a “discovery call or email” and moves into initial meetings and consultations. From there, you’ll be constantly going back and forth with your Project Manager and different team members, trades, etc.
Where we differ, and what folks tend to notice right away, is our honesty, procedural approach, and focus on personalization.
There are a few examples of our customer reviews on this page, but when you browse a hundred of them or so through our Reviews Page, you’ll see how successful our approach to communication is.
Common themes include:
- Suggestions are helpful, not pushy.
- Always friendly and responsive.
- Great at putting together ideas.
- Very patient and accommodating.
- Extensive knowledge & experience.
- In touch daily with progress reports.
All this communication ensures a smooth, like-clockwork project and a much better overall experience for everyone involved. For now, let’s focus on the first two meetings we’ll set up so you have a better understanding of what to expect. If you’d rather chat with us directly today, feel free to reach out and Contact Us.
What To Expect During Your
Initial Design-Build Consultations
Our First Meeting
Where We Iron Out Your Project’s Core Details
After we’ve had a chance to chat, we’ll schedule a time to sit down with you at your home to review the building/remodeling project you’re contemplating with much more depth. During this meeting, we’ll gather lots of pertinent details regarding your wants and needs and take plenty of pictures and measurements to give you an accurate quote.
Before this meeting, you’ll receive a packet from us containing important information like our license and insurance, along with a “What To Expect” timeline so you begin getting an idea of our process. We’ll also send you some before & afters from projects we’ve done similar to yours – Kitchen Remodeling, Basement Remodeling, Whole-House Remodeling, etc.
- Lasts roughly 60-90 minutes.
- The focus is your initial goals.
- Address realities & challenges.
- Educating you on costs.
The goal here is complete enlightenment, both in terms of financial commitment and the facts of the situation. We want to know what we’re getting into. And we want you to FULLY understand what you’re investing in as well.
An example:
“I want a gorgeous new bedroom built in my basement.”
Great! What if getting an egress window in there is far more difficult than expected? Or, did you know in certain cities within the greater Twin Cities area, this window must be a specific number of feet from the property line? During our meeting, we’ll look to define these issues and address each challenge, each barrier, and each variable to find a workable, doable solution that meets city requirements.
Will I Get An Estimate At This Meeting?
While we’ll definitely look at the realistic costs involved in your remodeling goals, other than generalities, it’s best to wait until we’ve had a chance to take the measurements, imagery, and data back to our office to produce a professional design-build estimate. Is it free? You bet.
Our First Follow-Up Meeting
Where We Present & Discuss Our Plans/Estimate
Within a week of the initial meeting, we’ll follow up to schedule another to present our detailed plans and estimate. This includes a line-by-line breakdown of the work involved and allowances for product selections. For example, let’s imagine you’re interested in a Home Addition.
Real costs tend to be a bit higher than folks assume, especially for additions. This means a custom one-off structure (removing lower prices of mass production involving economies of scale) that requires excavation, a cement slab foundation, building construction, roofing, siding, windows, doors, HVAC, electricity, etc.
And aside from labor, these trades don’t come cheap when you need seasoned talent to do the work for a custom one-off project.
- Lasts roughly 30-90 minutes.
- A focus on answering questions.
- Address realities & challenges.
- More education on costs.
Assuming real costs and the project itself are doable, from here, you’re likely to begin asking a variety of buying questions. You’ll want to know more about our process and the potential project timeline. You’ll be curious about selections and how to go about making them. No matter how granular you want to get, we’ll use this time to give you as much information as you can handle.
Once the meeting wraps up, we’ll shake your hand, thank you for your time, and leave you to consider our estimate–including any changes we made with you–in your own time. To learn more about how we work in general and the other project phases, visit the pages linked below.

Executive Remodeling did a great job redoing our basement. They were responsive, easy to work with, and flexible in dealing with the unexpected things that crop up. I totally recommend them.
Samantha M.
We used Executive Remodeling to finish our basement. As first time homeowners with no construction experience, we could not have asked for an easier process. Workmanship was incredible, everything ran on time, communication was excellent, and we couldn’t be happier with the end product. We would recommend them to anyone, and already have! We will definitely use them for any future projects that come up. Thanks so much to Ryan, Reed, and Katie!
Laura S.
"I can't recommend Executive Remodeling highly enough! From start to finish, they were responsive, communicative, and very easy to work with. They built a bathroom addition for us and stayed on budget and timeline throughout the entire project. All the people they brought in to work on the project were also kind, competent, and efficient. The team at Executive Remodeling went out of their way to ensure that everything went smoothly and the project turned out great!"

Excellent. Prompt and great workmanship. Very little disruption to our routine, and they cleaned up professionally. Handled the dealings with the insurance company as repair was caused by hail damage. This made the whole process easy. They also brought all the samples to our house for selection which was very efficient for us. Highly recommend Executive Remodeling.

After meeting with several Twin Cities contractors to find the right fit for our dream home addition, we chose Executive Remodeling because we valued their honesty, experience, and straightforward approach to planning and project execution. The team was easy to work with and responsive. We were treated with honesty and integrity and got an incredible amount of value for our investment. We couldn't be happier with the results.
Mark L.
"We recently needed some work done on our home and used Executive Remodeling. The communication and suggestions concerning our project were clear and very helpful. The workmen respected our home, were professional, left the worksite clean, and, when on-site, accommodated our need to be in and out of our home. The project was completed on time, and the costs were exactly as quoted."
Catherine R.
We emptied out the basement for drain tile then re-installed what was taken out to preserve the investment in our nearly 100-year-old house. Executive’s team was supportive every step of the way. Their optimism and "can do" attitude were helpful as we discovered complications. They got the right craftsmen for every step. We even added a new garden window to the kitchen upstairs, knowing we could trust them to do a great install. We sleep well knowing our wiring is up to code, and we enjoy a great deal of natural light in the basement because of their work.
Bernie A.
The owners of Executive Remodeling were extremely helpful and honest in making decisions on our project. They stuck to what was in our budget. The workmanship was excellent. The workers were professional. The job was done very timely. We were extremely satisfied from start to finish. We highly recommend!
Karen A.
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!
Carlotta P.
1. This was our first big renovation. We weren't prepared for some of the decisions we needed to make before the project started. 2. Guidelines for what was expected of us before the project began wasn't clear, such as selection of: backsplash, lighting , tiles etc. 3. Once the project began, Executive Remodeling gave us a clear timeline with weekly updates. 4. Executive Remodeling staff was very courteous and respectful as were their contractors. 5. They informed us of what they were going to do with construction details i.e. - poly barriers, dust, etc. 6. They also had an excellent cleaning crew who did more than we expected. 7. We are extremely satisfied with the kitchen renovation and we will definitely have them involved in our other renovations.
