Twin Cities Home Remodeling Services

In many cases, you can remain in your home while the remodeling work is underway. Our team takes great care to keep work areas clean, safe, and as contained as possible. That said, the scale and complexity of your remodel will play a big role in determining what’s best.

If the project affects major systems, involves multiple levels, or requires structural changes to key areas like the kitchen or primary suite, moving out temporarily may be more comfortable and efficient. 

We'll talk through these options early on, so you can plan ahead with confidence.

You don’t need to manage every detail—that’s what we’re here for. But your input does shape the parts of the process that matter most to you.

You'll be most involved at the beginning, when we're designing your space and working through selections. After that, we’ll take care of the day-to-day coordination while keeping you updated along the way.

Here’s what that typically looks like:

• During design: We’ll ask about your lifestyle, priorities, and preferences. You’ll review layout ideas, select finishes, and make decisions about how your space should feel and function.
  
  
• During permitting and pre-construction: We handle the technical steps like drawings, permits, and scheduling. You’ll approve final plans and get an overview of what to expect.
  
  
• During construction: Our team manages the crew, timeline, and materials. You’ll get regular updates, but you won’t need to be hands-on unless decisions or changes come up.

Some people want to be involved at every step. Others prefer to check in occasionally and let the team run with it. We’ll adjust to your comfort level so you feel informed, included, and supported, without it taking over your day-to-day.

Yes—and we believe it’s one of the most meaningful parts of what we do.

Many homes in the Twin Cities area were built with craftsmanship and care that can’t easily be replicated. From the Tudor-style homes in Edina and south Minneapolis to mid-century homes in St. Louis Park and classic colonial revivals near Lake Minnetonka, these homes carry a sense of history that deserves to be preserved. But they weren’t always built for how we live today.

At MA Peterson, we specialize in working with older homes with care and precision. That might mean opening up segmented rooms for better flow, creating continuity between original architecture and modern finishes, or designing a new addition that feels like it’s always belonged. 

We pay close attention to materials, millwork, scale, and proportion so that every detail feels consistent, intentional, and beautifully done.

We can blend eras, honor vintage elements, and introduce bold modern choices that still feel respectful of the original architecture. The result is a home that works beautifully for today, without erasing what made it special in the first place.
