Award-Winning St. Louis Park Home Remodeler
St. Louis Park’s housing stock is largely a story of explosive post-war growth. The city’s population grew from 7,737 in 1940 to more than 30,000 by 1955, and between 1950 and 1956 alone, 66 new subdivisions and roughly 2,700 new homes were built, most of them small ramblers and minimal-traditional starter homes built to VA specifications for returning veterans. Builders like Adolph Fine and Ecklund and Swedlund put up thousands of these homes across the city. More recently, corridors like West End and Excelsior and Grand have brought newer townhomes and condos into the mix. Boyer Building Corporation is a St. Louis Park remodeler experienced with the city’s dense stock of post-war ramblers and split-levels.
St. Louis Park Home Remodeling Experts
St. Louis Park’s post-war ramblers were built quickly and to a consistent formula, small footprints, cinder block foundations, and minimal-traditional detailing, and most have been updated at least once in the seventy-plus years since. A remodeler working in St. Louis Park needs to know how these homes were originally built before deciding what to open up, reinforce, or replace, and how additions and lower-level work interact with foundations built to 1950s VA-era standards. That knowledge keeps St. Louis Park projects structurally sound and true to the home.

Boyer Building Corporation Remodeling Services
St. Louis Park’s post-war ramblers and split-levels each call for a remodeling approach suited to their original construction.
Kitchen Remodeling – Many area kitchens are original to 1950s ramblers, small, closed off, and built for a different era of cooking. We rebuild these into open, functional kitchens sized appropriately for the home’s original footprint.
Bathroom Remodeling – Bathrooms in post-war homes are often compact and have seen only minor updates since original construction. We rework these into current, well-finished spaces that make the most of the available square footage.
Decks, Porches, and Three-Season Spaces – Smaller post-war lots are well suited to decks, patios, and three-season porches designed to maximize outdoor living within a modest footprint.
Great Rooms and Main-Level Renovations – Many ramblers were built with a simple, single living space rather than a true great room. We open sightlines and rework fireplaces to create a more connected gathering space within the home’s existing structure.
Lower Level Finishing – Lower levels in ramblers and split-levels are frequently unfinished or finished decades ago with dated materials. We rebuild these into functional living space, guest suites, or 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 converted den is a common candidate for conversion into a dedicated home office.
Bedroom and Primary Suite – Primary suites in St. Louis Park’s post-war homes are often modest by today’s standards. We reconfigure these into composed, efficient suites that fit within the home’s original footprint.
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 St. Louis Park remodeler and builder, and is familiar with St. Louis Park’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 St. Louis Park 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.
