Your Comprehensive Remodeling Cost Guide
a thoughtful look at remodeling costs
If you're thinking about remodeling or building a custom home, it helps to understand what kind of investment you're stepping into.
This cost guide is here to give you a clear sense of what you can expect when working with MA Peterson. While every project is unique, the ranges below reflect real-world numbers based on our decades of experience across the Twin Cities.
Project size, scope, and materials all affect the final cost. A 3,000-square-foot home will have different needs than one twice its size—but this guide can help you understand where your goals might land on the spectrum.
Use it as a starting point for our conversation. The more clarity you have now, the more confidence you’ll feel moving forward. And, when you’re ready, reach out to us to gain even more clarity about what your unique home remodel or custom home investment could be.
Every project starts with a plan—and that plan should reflect both your vision and your investment. Our phased design process gives you space to explore ideas while making thoughtful, informed decisions along the way.
Many of the homeowners we work with value high-quality materials and carefully considered details. Here are a few of the interior selections we commonly help guide during the design process:
- Appliance brands such as Bosch, Kitchen Aid, and Wolf/SubZero
- All custom cabinetry
- Quartz countertops, Quartzite, and natural stone such as Soapstone & Marble
- Solid hardwood floors. On occasion, high-end engineered woods and luxury vinyl planks. In-floor radiant heat is standard in baths.
- Lighting brands such as Visual Comfort, Currey & Company, and Arteriors
- Plumbing trims such as Brizo, Perrin & Rowe, Waterstone, and Kallista
- Typical plumbing fixtures by Kohler, Kallista, Toto, and Victoria & Albert
- High-end tile, including Porcelain, ceramic, handmade clay, and other natural materials such as Terrazzo and Marble.
At MA Peterson, remodeling isn’t just about updating finishes. It’s about reshaping your home to better support the way you live—through layout changes, additions, and thoughtful reconfigurations of underused space.
While we occasionally handle surface updates, our work typically goes deeper. The costs outlined here reflect the kind of comprehensive transformations we’re known for—projects that improve daily flow, enhance comfort, and create lasting value.
If you’re looking to repaint cabinets or refinish floors, there are plenty of very talented contractors to fill that need. But if you’re ready to make substantial changes that impact how your home functions and feels, this is where your planning begins.
Building a custom home means creating something that reflects how you want to live. It isn’t just about square footage or materials. It’s about making meaningful choices, from layout to lighting, that support your daily life.
Our clients choose this path when they want a home that feels personal, intentional, and built with care. The ranges below reflect the level of craftsmanship, design collaboration, and high-quality construction that go into every custom build we take on.
We’re here to guide each step so your new home feels both beautiful and deeply aligned with your lifestyle.
