Design-Driven Minnetonka Remodeler
Boyer Building Corporation has been remodeling homes in Minnetonka for more than 70 years. Our community is one of the most distinctive places in the Twin Cities to own a home. A drive through Greenbrier, Groveland, or the lake-edge streets near Libbs and Lone Lake tells the story: 1950s ramblers next door to 1980s tudors, mid-century walkouts beside newer transitional builds, all set into mature oaks and rolling lots. The architectural variety and features of the land are something that you simply can’t replicate in a newer suburb.
Boyer has been remodeling homes like these for decades, and we approach each project the same way: understand how you actually live, respect what makes the house worth keeping, and design the rest to feel like it always belonged there. Whether you’re refreshing a single room, opening up a closed-off main level, or taking on a full renovation, you have found the right remodeling contractor.
Why a Minnetonka-Specific Remodeler Matters
There is no single “Minnetonka home.” The housing stock spans roughly seventy years of construction, and the architectural decisions made in 1962 are different from the ones made in 1988 or 2008. A remodeler who works across the city week after week learns the patterns. We have accumulated years of knowledge about what to expect in our remodeled homes. We know where joists run short, where the foundation tends to bow, which subdivisions have restrictive covenants, what the city permitting office expects on a setback variance. That fluency saves homeowners weeks of guesswork and tens of thousands of dollars in surprise work.
It also matters for design. Minnetonka buyers have come to expect a certain level of finish. Quiet luxury more than a loud showpiece. And resale in neighborhoods like Greenbrier, Glen Lake, Hillcrest, and Deephaven-adjacent corridors rewards remodels that read as intentional rather than trendy. We design with that in mind.
Boyer Building Corporation Remodeling Services
Kitchen Remodeling – The kitchen is where many remodels start. We design kitchens that open up sight lines without erasing your home’s character. We recreate your space with updated cabinetry, stone surfaces, and lighting selected to age well rather than date the moment a new trend cycles in.
Bathroom Remodeling – The majority of Minnetonka 70s and 80s homes have small utility-focused bathrooms. We work with homeowners to expand the bathroom with existing rooms, or maximize the available space with thoughtful design and touches of luxury to completely change how they feel.
Decks, Porches, and Three-Season Spaces – Minnetonka lots tend to be generous, wooded, and often back to wetlands, ponds, or city parkland. We build composite and natural wood decks engineered for Minnesota freeze-thaw cycles, screened porches with EZE-Breeze or true four-season conversions, and connected outdoor kitchens and fire features where the site allows.
Great Rooms and Main-Level Renovations – The older the home, the more likely the main level is a series of small, walled-off rooms. Opening those walls and treating the entire main level as one composed space, anchored by a redesigned fireplace and connected to the kitchen and outdoor living, is consistently the most transformative work we do.
Exterior Renovation – Exterior remodels are where homes can change identity completely. We coordinate siding, windows, doors, roofing, and trim as one design decision rather than a series of separate projects. The result is an exterior that is truly cohesive.
Home Office – Home offices became a permanent fixture of how Minnetonka homeowners live and work. Our office remodels can include custom millwork with floor-to-ceiling shelving, integrated desks, hidden cable management, acoustic treatment for video calls, and lighting that works for both screen time and reading.
Bedroom and Primary Suite – In many of our communities, the original primary bedroom is undersized by modern standards. And the closet is an afterthought. Our bedroom remodeling can transform your home with a fitted dressing room or walk-in, and a renovated bath designed as a single composition.
Specialties – We work with homeowners to reimagine their home with tasteful entrances, stairways, mudrooms, and game rooms. We not only add to their homes’ beauty but also to their utility with thoughtful design and construction.

Remodeling FAQs
Boyer Building has been building and remodeling homes in the western Twin Cities for more than 70 years. Most of the work we take on in Minnetonka comes by referral from past clients, neighbors, and trade partners – which we consider the highest compliment a builder can earn. Our team includes full-time carpenters, in-house project managers, and design professionals who stay with your project from first conversation through final walkthrough.
A production builder offers a set of floor plans you choose from, with limited options. A custom home is designed from a blank page around your family, your lot, and how you actually live. The cost-per-square-foot is generally higher for custom work, but you get a home that fits — rather than one you adapt to fit you. For homeowners staying long term in Minnetonka, that difference shows up every day. Boyer Building is a custom home builder.
All new construction and remodeling work comes with a written warranty that meets or exceeds Minnesota statutory requirements: one year on workmanship and materials, two years on plumbing, electrical, and HVAC, and ten years on major structural elements. Beyond the warranty, our team responds to questions and small follow-up items for years after a project closes — that’s part of how referrals get earned.
Recent recognition includes 2025 NARI-MN Remodeler of the Year Gold and Silver awards, the 2025 Housing First ROMA awards, Lake Minnetonka Magazine’s 2024 and 2025 “Best Of” recognition in both the Remodeler and Builder categories, and multiple NARI-MN Contractor of the Year wins going back through 2023. Awards aren’t the reason to hire a builder, but they’re a useful signal that the work meets a professional standard reviewed by peers.
Yes. Boyer Building Corporation holds Minnesota Contractor License BC002988 and carries full general liability and workers’ compensation insurance. We pull all required permits with the City of Minnetonka and coordinate inspections on your behalf throughout the project.
Boyer has completed projects in the Twin Cities for decades. Our office is located on County Road 101 in Minnetonka, putting nearly every western suburb within a short drive of our team, our suppliers, and our trade partners. That proximity matters when a project manager needs to stop by twice in a day or a carpenter has a question that needs answering on site.
A custom home typically takes 12 to 18 months from the start of design to the day you move in. That timeline depends on the size and complexity of the home, the design decisions made along the way, lot conditions, and the permitting process in Minnetonka. We give you a realistic schedule early in the process and update it at every major milestone.
Most projects move through five stages: an initial consultation to understand your goals and constraints; a design and budget development phase where the project takes shape on paper; a detailed proposal and contract; construction with a dedicated project manager and lead carpenter; and a final walkthrough plus warranty service. You work with the same core team from start to finish.
The simplest first step is to call our office at 952-475-2097 or send a message through the contact form. We’ll set up an introductory conversation, ask about your home and what you’re hoping to accomplish, and walk through next steps from there.
Yes. Permitting and inspection coordination with the City of Minnetonka is part of our scope on every project. We’ve worked with Minnetonka building department many times and know what to expect from their review process, including timeline, documentation, and any local code requirements that may apply.
The first conversation — in your home or at our office — is at no cost. Once we move into detailed design work, there’s a design fee that’s clearly outlined upfront. That fee covers the time of our designers and is credited against the project if you move forward into construction.
Not necessarily. Boyer is a design-build firm, which means our in-house design team can take a project from initial concept through construction documents. For projects with unusual structural complexity or historic considerations, we’ll bring in an outside architect when it serves the project. Either way, you have one team accountable for the result.
Yes. We’re glad to share our project portfolio for every community that we serve. Our blog and the project gallery on this site page include completed work throughout the Twin Cities Western Suburbs.
We can. Our team knows the Minnetonka market well and we also work alongside your real estate agent to evaluate potential lots — soil conditions, setbacks, tree preservation requirements, drainage, and access all factor into whether a lot will actually deliver the home you want
