Custom Remodeling in Bloomington
Drive through almost any Bloomington neighborhood and the story is the same — well-kept ramblers and split-levels from the 1960s, big lots, mature trees, and owners who have been there long enough to know every quirk of the house. These are not homes people are looking to leave. They are homes people are looking to finally get right. A kitchen that actually works, a basement that the whole family uses, a primary bath that feels finished rather than functional. That is the work Knutson has been doing in Bloomington for over forty years.

Bloomington ramblers and split-levels have a specific set of remodeling considerations — original single-pane windows that affect how insulation gets detailed, galvanized supply lines overdue for replacement, and basement layouts that were built for storage rather than living. We have worked through all of those conditions to price them accurately the first time and build through them without losing momentum.

Our Edge
More Care Less Stress
We help make dream homes
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.

Opening the main level is the highest-impact change in most ramblers — removing the wall between kitchen and living area transforms how the whole floor functions. Basement finishes that add a usable bedroom and bath are a strong second. Both add livable square footage without touching the building footprint.
-
A finished Bloomington basement typically runs $55,000 to $120,000 depending on square footage, whether a bathroom is included, and finish level. Most Bloomington ramblers have enough basement square footage to make the investment worthwhile. We give a written budget range at the first consultation.
-
Yes — we handle every permit application and inspection with Bloomington's building department. Structural, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical permits are all coordinated by our team from start to final sign-off.
-
Manageable for most families. We dust-contain the work area and restore temporary access where possible. Most households get through it with a microwave setup for four to six weeks. We walk through the specifics during planning so nothing surprises you mid-project.
