Common Questions
Get quick answers about pricing, timelines, permits, and what to expect before your remodeling project begins.
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

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.
