Award-Winning Greenwood Home Remodeler
Greenwood’s history dates to the 1840s, when pioneer George Bertram and homebuilder Robert McGrath began developing homes along Lake Minnetonka’s southern shore as part of the original Excelsior Township. As the lake became a popular summer resort destination in the late 1800s, small residential enclaves formed around the shoreline, and Greenwood incorporated as its own village in 1956 specifically to preserve its residential character and local governance. Today Greenwood remains one of the smallest cities on the lake, with well under a thousand residents, and its real estate is defined by luxury lakefront estates set among mature, old-growth trees. Boyer Building Corporation is a Greenwood remodeler experienced with the quiet, upscale character this small lake city has protected for nearly seventy years.
Greenwood Home Remodeling Experts
Greenwood’s small size and residential-first incorporation mean the city takes its architectural character seriously. A remodeler who works in Greenwood regularly learns how mature tree canopies and established lot lines shape what an addition or new construction can look like, how shoreline setbacks apply along the lake’s southern shore, and what the city’s smaller footprint means for construction logistics and neighbor relations during a project. That fluency keeps Greenwood projects respectful of a community that incorporated specifically to preserve its own character.

Boyer Building Corporation Remodeling Services
Greenwood’s luxury lakefront estates call for remodeling work that matches the quiet, established character of the city.
Kitchen Remodeling – Kitchens in Greenwood’s estate homes are often generously sized but can be dated in finish. We rebuild these into refined gathering kitchens that suit both daily life and entertaining, without disrupting the home’s established architectural character.
Bathroom Remodeling – Primary bathrooms in Greenwood’s larger homes typically have the square footage for full spa-style renovations, with stone, custom millwork, and fixtures that match the caliber of the rest of the home.
Decks, Porches, and Three-Season Spaces – Greenwood’s mature, tree-lined lakefront lots are built for outdoor living. Decks, patios, and dock-facing outdoor spaces designed to work with the site’s existing tree canopy are among the most requested Greenwood projects.
Great Rooms and Main-Level Renovations – Older Greenwood estates sometimes carry more formal, separated main levels. Reworking these into a great room suited to the home’s scale, while preserving the mature landscaping and setting around it, is a common Greenwood renovation.
Lower Level Finishing – Greenwood’s lakefront lots frequently support finished walkout lower levels: guest suites, home theaters, and entertaining space that take advantage of the grade down toward the water.
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 den or library in an established Greenwood home is a natural candidate for conversion into a refined home office with custom millwork.
Bedroom and Primary Suite – Primary suites in Greenwood’s larger estate homes have the space to become true retreats, with room for an expanded closet, a sitting area, and a rebuilt bath finished to match the rest of the home.
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 Greenwood remodeler and builder, and is familiar with Greenwood’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.
Does Boyer handle permits and inspections in Greenwood?
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.
