Get To Know How We Approach Your Remodeling Vision
And What To Expect Each Step Of The Way
When you choose a design-build firm over a conventional remodeler here in the Twin Cities, you’ re opting for a much more convenient process. At Executive Remodeling, we believe the experience should also be personalized, educational, and expertly managed.
We’re friendly but business-like. Timely but detailed. Procedural but smooth. From the first and follow-up meetings to the weeks of design and consultation before hammers begin swinging…there won’t be any surprises coming from our direction.
To give you an idea, let’s say you’ve signed contracts with us. From here, a rough timeline for the next four weeks might look like this:
Week 1
You’ll receive a selection sheet with all the selections needed for project completion. These will be made prior to scheduling the start date for construction.
Week 2
A weeks later, your Design Consultant will meet with the Project Manager assigned to your project at your home to go through the complete scope of work.
Week 3
Your Project Manager will arrange visits with the trades that need to review the building project. You’ll be notified when they’re scheduled to be at your home.
Week 4
For kitchen remodels with new cabinets, you’ll meet with our custom cabinet maker to discuss the layout, wood species, and door styles you’re interested in.
The Journey From First Handshakes…
To Final Walkthroughs With Executive Remodeling
How We Provide Immaculate Personalized Results
And A Professional A-To-Z Experience
Let’s look at the core experience of working with us to transform your home via the design-build process. It’s precisely what you’d expect in a general sense, but we’re keeping this rundown simple. There’s plenty involved, so if you’re interested, dig deeper through the links below.
Initial Introductions
Friendly, Responsive & Focused On You
While we have our share of repeat customers and referrals, many folks find us online and give us a call or email. It’s where we go through initial introductions and answer any questions you might have about our process and how we can help you. They’re an essential part of the process where we get an idea of the absolute basics of your project goals and where you’re coming from.

Discovery & Viability
Your Goals, Budgeting & Timeline
Few people have a really solid grasp of what residential remodeling costs here in the Twin Cities area. And that’s okay. So, once we verify you’re in our service area, we’ll look at how well your remodeling goals mesh with budgeting & timelines. For example, we CAN perform a Kitchen Remodeling miracle, but we need the proper products, materials, talent, and time to pull it off.

Pre-Estimate
On-Site Investigation & Education
This is where we’ll visit your home, and you’ll sit down with a small Executive Remodeling team. We’ll get all the measurements/pics we need and usually take about 60 to 90 minutes going through the finer details with you – how we work, our credentials, your remodeling goals, initial budgeting and design concepts, etc. Then, we’ll bring you a formal estimate within a week.

The Design Phase
Selections, Guidance & Vision-Refinement
After signing contracts, you’ll get selection sheets and spending allowances. We don’t force you into choosing certain things but are there more as your guide. Your Executive Remodeling designer will be there to help with coloring, matching products, and expanding on initial concepts to build gorgeous, functional spaces. You’ll love how personalized our product selection process is.

Well-Managed Construction Begins
Based On Rock-Solid Plans & Preparation
By the time construction begins, we’ll have a clear timeline on the table. We’ll be ultra-prepared, and every aspect of the project will be planned down to the finest details. All permitting and coding will be ironed out, and you’ll know exactly what to expect. Day in and day out, you’ll have a team and project manager at your disposal to ensure everything goes as smoothly as possible.

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.
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!
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.

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.

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.
Lee P.
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.
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!"
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."
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!
Bernie A.

The workers were professional. The job was done very timely. We were extremely satisfied from start to finish. We highly recommend!
