Solutions For Every Living Space
We help make dream home
Kitchens, baths, basements, additions, attics, and outdoor living — all designed, drawn, fabricated, and installed by one Twin Cities team. One designer, one project manager, one schedule, one finish standard from the first measurement to the final punch list.

Knutson is a remodeling company, which means design and construction live under one roof — not parceled out to a separate architect, separate cabinet shop, and separate general contractor. That structure is the reason our projects close on schedule, hold their finish quality, and avoid the surprise change orders that plague the rest of the industry.

-
Begins with a free consultation at your home — we measure, photograph, and walk through how you actually use the space. Then, 3D design at our showroom, full elevations, structural engineering, and finish selections. By the end of design, you have construction drawings, a detailed scope of work, a fixed contract price, and a build schedule.
-
Demo, framing, mechanical rough-in, drywall, finish carpentry, cabinetry install, tile, paint, and final fixtures — sequenced by one project manager with a single schedule. We pull all permits, coordinate every inspection, and protect the rest of your home with daily-cleaned dust barriers and floor protection.
-
Project closes with a formal walk-through, punch list resolution, and turnover of warranty documents and product manuals. We come back at the 30-day, six-month, and one-year marks to address any seasonal-movement adjustments. The relationship continues for as long as you own the home.
Seamless Process
From planning to final details, every stage is coordinated for a smooth construction experience.
Built To Last
We focus on durable solutions, quality materials, and workmanship that stands the test of time.

More Care Less Stress
We help make dream home
Most homeowners compare three or four remodeling firms before choosing one. The structural differences between firms are not always obvious in a sales meeting, but they show up in the schedule, the budget, and the day-to-day experience of the project. Here is how Knutson compares to a typical contractor on the points that matter most.

We hired Mike for an extensive remodel and addition to our house. What could have been a painful process was made enjoyable by Mike and his team. On time, in budget, and a pleasure to have around our house and family. I would recommend Knutson Custom Remodelers to anyone.

Common Questions

-
Custom kitchen remodels with a design-build firm in the Twin Cities typically run from about $40,000 for a refresh-level project inside the existing footprint, $60,000 to $120,000 for a standard remodel with new cabinetry and countertops, and $120,000 to $250,000+ for premium kitchens with structural changes, marble, or paneled appliances. Cost is driven by size, cabinetry style, countertop material, appliance level, and whether walls are coming down. We give a written budget range at the first free consultation.
-
A standard Twin Cities kitchen remodel takes six to ten months from contract to completion — three to ten weeks of design, two to four weeks of permitting, and ten to fourteen weeks of on-site construction. A standard bathroom remodel takes three to seven months. Premium projects with structural changes or period restoration take longer. We confirm the schedule in writing at contract.
-
Custom design-build bathroom projects in the Twin Cities typically run: powder rooms from about $12,000; standard hall baths $25,000 to $50,000; standard primary suites $55,000 to $110,000; and premium primary suites $110,000 to $225,000+ with marble, heated floors, steam shower, and custom paneled storage. These ranges sit above big-box and handyman pricing because we replace old plumbing and electrical in pre-1980 homes, build the vanity in our own shop, and install with our own carpenters — not above premium-luxury benchmark.
-
Yes. The first in-home consultation, measurement, and initial scope conversation are free of charge. The detailed design phase that follows — construction drawings, 3D renderings, structural engineering, and a fixed-price estimate — is a paid design phase that credits back to the construction contract if you proceed with us as your contractor
