Award-Winning Chanhassen Home Remodeler
Chanhassen takes its name from the Dakota word chanhasen, meaning sugar maple tree, and for most of its history it was a slow-growing farming community settled by German and Scandinavian families. That changed after the city formed in 1967 by merging the village and surrounding township. Most of Chanhassen’s housing stock dates from after 1960, with established neighborhoods spanning the 1970s through the 1990s, Laredo Lane from 1975, Near Mountain from 1979, Chanhassen Hills from 1985, Lake Susan Hills from 1987, and Trotters Ridge and Springfield from 1993, alongside newer construction that has continued since. Boyer Building Corporation is a Chanhassen remodeler and custom builder experienced across this range of housing eras.
Chanhassen Home Remodeling Experts
Chanhassen’s neighborhoods were largely built out in planned phases from the 1970s onward, and each phase carries its own layout conventions, lot sizes, and HOA expectations. A remodeler who works in Chanhassen regularly learns which decades of construction call for updated mechanicals before cosmetic work begins, how the city’s planned unit developments handle exterior review, and where newer custom construction has changed expectations for older homes on the same street. That fluency keeps Chanhassen projects on schedule from design through completion.

Boyer Building Corporation Remodeling Services
Chanhassen’s neighborhoods span five decades of planned development, and each era calls for its own remodeling approach.
Kitchen Remodeling – Many Chanhassen kitchens date to the 1970s through 1990s PUD-era homes, with closed-off layouts typical of that period. We open these into adjoining living space and rebuild the kitchen for modern gathering, along with fully custom kitchens in newer construction.
Bathroom Remodeling – Bathrooms in the area’s established neighborhoods are often original or updated only once since the home was built. We rebuild these into current, spa-style spaces suited to the scale of the home.
Decks, Porches, and Three-Season Spaces – Chanhassen’s neighborhoods, many built around ponds, wooded buffers, and Lake Susan or Lake Minnewashta, are well suited to decks, patios, and screened porches that take advantage of the site.
Great Rooms and Main-Level Renovations – Many of the area’s 1970s and 1980s homes were built with separated living and dining rooms. Opening these into a great room is one of the most common renovations we take on across the city’s established neighborhoods.
Lower Level Finishing – Chanhassen’s ramblers and split-levels frequently include a lower level finished decades ago with dated materials. We rebuild these into modern entertaining space, guest suites, and home gyms.
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 – A spare bedroom or underused den in an established Chanhassen home is a common candidate for conversion into a functioning home office.
Bedroom and Primary Suite – Primary suites in Chanhassen’s 1980s and 1990s homes are often generously sized but dated. We reconfigure these into composed, efficient primary suites with updated finishes.
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
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 is a licensed and insured Chanhassen remodeler and builder, and is familiar with Chanhassen’s permitting requirements and inspection process.
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. Boyer manages the permitting and inspection process with the Chanhassen building department as part of every project scope.
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.
