Award-Winning Chaska Home Remodeler
Chaska began as a river stop for French Canadian fur traders and was long defined by its brick industry, Chaska Brick, made here from roughly 1857 to 1961, built the Minnesota State Capitol and Fort Snelling, and at its peak the city supplied nearly a third of all brick made in Minnesota. Chaska kept its small-town image until the 1950s, when the federally funded Jonathan project, a planned new-town community of five villages with its own schools, churches, and recreation areas, drove major growth from the late 1960s onward. The population grew from 2,000 in 1960 to over 24,000 by 2014, yet Chaska still preserves its 19th-century Walnut Street Historic District and the Woodland Indian burial mounds near City Square. Boyer Building Corporation is a Chaska remodeler experienced with this mix of legacy neighborhoods and planned-community housing.
Chaska Home Remodeling Experts
Chaska’s housing stock ranges from homes built during the Jonathan new-town development of the 1970s to newer construction on the city’s growing north side. A remodeler who works in Chaska regularly learns which Jonathan-era neighborhoods carry design guidelines tied to the original planned-village concept, how the city’s older core near Walnut Street differs from its newer subdivisions, and where acreage properties on Chaska’s edges call for a different scope than in-town lots. That knowledge keeps Chaska projects predictable regardless of which era of the city they’re in.

Boyer Building Corporation Remodeling Services
Chaska’s housing spans a legacy brick-era core, the planned Jonathan community, and newer construction, each with its own remodeling opportunities.
Kitchen Remodeling – Chaska kitchens in Jonathan-era homes from the 1970s and 1980s tend to be closed off from the rest of the main level. We open these into adjoining spaces and rebuild the kitchen for how families gather today.
Bathroom Remodeling – Bathrooms in Chaska’s established homes are often original or updated once. We rebuild these into efficient, well-finished spaces suited to the scale of the home.
Decks, Porches, and Three-Season Spaces – Chaska’s Jonathan-community lots, many bordering parks, ponds, and wooded walking paths, are well suited to decks and patios designed to take advantage of that setting.
Great Rooms and Main-Level Renovations – Many Chaska homes from the Jonathan era were built with separated living and dining spaces. Opening these into a great room is a common renovation across the city’s established neighborhoods.
Lower Level Finishing – Chaska’s split-levels and ramblers often include a lower level finished decades ago. We rebuild these into genuine living space, from media rooms to guest suites.
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 Chaska home is a practical candidate for conversion into a home office.
Bedroom and Primary Suite – Primary suites in Chaska’s larger homes are often dated in finish. We reconfigure these into composed, efficient suites with updated closets and baths.
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 Chaska remodeler and builder, and is familiar with Chaska’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 Chaska 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.
