Award-Winning Minnetonka Beach Home Remodeler
Minnetonka Beach was established by early settlers in 1855 and incorporated as a village in 1894. It remains one of the smallest incorporated cities in the country, with roughly 230 homes and a housing stock defined by Colonial Revival and shingle-style architecture from the early twentieth century. The Lafayette Club has anchored the community’s social life since the early 1900s, and many of the city’s homes were originally built as estates for prominent Twin Cities families. Boyer Building Corporation is a Minnetonka Beach remodeler experienced with the discretion and craftsmanship these historic, high-value estate homes require.
Minnetonka Beach Home Remodeling Experts
Minnetonka Beach is a small, tightly held market, and a remodeler working here needs to understand both the scale of these homes and the expectations that come with them. Many properties carry Colonial Revival or shingle-style architecture from the early 1900s, original details worth preserving even as systems, kitchens, and baths are brought fully current. A remodeler who works in Minnetonka Beach regularly learns which historic homes have additions or outbuildings from different eras that need reconciling, how the city’s shoreline and setback rules apply to some of the most sought-after lake frontage in Minnesota, and the level of craftsmanship and discretion homeowners in this market expect throughout a project.

Boyer Building Corporation Remodeling Services
Boyer Building’s work across the Lake Minnetonka communities, including Minnetonka Beach, has been recognized by regional industry organizations and the local press homeowners in this market actually read.
Kitchen Remodeling – Kitchens in Minnetonka Beach’s historic estates are often original in footprint even when finishes have been updated once or twice since. We rebuild these into true gathering kitchens while respecting the home’s Colonial Revival or shingle-style architecture.
Bathroom Remodeling – Primary bathrooms in these historic estates vary widely in scale depending on when they were last touched. We rebuild them into spa-style spaces using materials and detailing that match the caliber of the rest of the home.
Decks, Porches, and Three-Season Spaces – Minnetonka Beach’s lake frontage is some of the most sought-after on Lake Minnetonka. Decks, porches, docks, and outdoor living spaces here are designed to match the architectural character of the historic home they extend from.
Great Rooms and Main-Level Renovations – Many Minnetonka Beach estates were built with formal, separated rooms typical of early-twentieth-century design. Reworking these into more livable, open spaces while preserving original millwork and architectural detail is a defining Minnetonka Beach project type.
Lower Level Finishing – Where lot and grade allow, lower levels in Minnetonka Beach homes are finished to the same standard as the rest of the house: guest suites, home theaters, and entertaining space built with the same materials and craftsmanship as the main level.
Exterior Renovation – Exterior remodels are where homes can change identity completely or add modern touches to classic appeal. 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, library, or sunroom in an older Minnetonka Beach estate is often the best candidate for conversion into a home office, with custom millwork that matches the home’s original character.
Bedroom and Primary Suite – Primary suites in Minnetonka Beach’s largest estates can become true private retreats, with room for a sitting area, an expanded closet, 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 Minnesota remodeler and builder, and is familiar with Minnetonka Beach’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 Minnetonka Beach 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.
