Twin Cities Whole Home Remodeling

MA Peterson | Design-Build Remodeler

Window Seat in the Twin Cities by MA Peterson

Design and Build Your Home Remodel Around How You Live 

You love your home and where you live. But maybe the kitchen feels disconnected from the rest of the main level. Storage is always a struggle. Your owner’s suite needs attention. Or years of updates have left the house feeling like a collection of separate spaces rather than one home.

A whole home remodel gives you the opportunity to look at everything together.

MA Peterson provides whole home remodeling throughout the Twin Cities, including Edina, Wayzata, and Minnetonka. Our architectural designers, interior designers, project managers, and construction team work together to create a home that feels cohesive, comfortable, and better suited to the way you live today.

Whether you’re remodeling one level or transforming multiple floors, you’ll have one design-build team guiding the project from the first conversation through construction.

Whole Home Remodeling Services in the Twin Cities

Whole home remodeling is about more than updating several rooms at once. It’s an opportunity to rethink how your home works as a whole.

Our whole home remodeling services can include:

  • Kitchen remodeling
  • Main-level remodeling
  • Owner’s suite remodeling
  • Bathroom remodeling
  • Lower-level remodeling
  • Floor plan changes
  • Structural modifications
  • Custom cabinetry and built-ins
  • Mudrooms and storage
  • Flooring and lighting
  • Plumbing, electrical, and mechanical updates
  • Interior finishes throughout the home
  • Aging-in-place improvements

How Much Does a Whole Home Remodel Cost in the Twin Cities?

Whole home remodeling costs depend on your home's size, the number of levels being remodeled, the extent of structural changes, and the materials and finishes you select.

For MA Peterson projects in the Twin Cities, a single-level whole-home transformation typically ranges from $400,000 to $600,000+, while a multi-level remodel typically ranges from $750,000 to $1,250,000+.

Those ranges can include several connected spaces, such as the kitchen, living areas, owner’s suite, bathrooms, and lower level, as well as cabinetry, flooring, lighting, and updates to systems behind the walls.

Because every home and scope is different, we’ll continue refining costs as the design develops so you have a clear understanding of the investment before construction begins.

Local Remodeling Cost Guide

Not sure where your project falls? Our Twin Cities Remodeling Cost Guide provides current cost ranges for kitchens, whole home remodels, additions, and other major remodeling projects.

It’s a helpful place to start if you’re considering a remodel in Edina, Wayzata, Minnetonka, or elsewhere in the Twin Cities and want to understand what to expect before scheduling a consultation.

A Rustic & Whimsical Rambler Main Level in Edina

This Edina rambler remodel shows just how many spaces can be touched when you take a full-home approach to design. The transformation carries through the main level, from the living and dining spaces to the bedroom, kitchen, and entry, creating a home that feels connected from room to room.

Dark, Light, and Balance

Rich, dark woods, crisp white-enameled details, soft color, and plenty of natural light give each space its own personality while still feeling like part of the same home. It’s a great example of how remodeling multiple spaces together can create a more cohesive look and feel throughout the house.

Why a Design-Build Team Makes Whole Home Remodeling Easier

A whole home remodel involves much more than updating finishes. Reconfiguring floor plans, opening walls, relocating plumbing, remodeling kitchens and bathrooms, adding custom cabinetry, improving storage, and updating multiple living spaces all require multiple trades and disciplines to work together. When those services are managed separately, it’s up to you to coordinate schedules, resolve issues, and keep everyone aligned throughout the entire home.

One Team and One Vision

With a design-build approach and our focused process, your architectural designer, interior designer, project manager, and construction team work together from the very beginning. That means decisions for one space are considered in the context of the rest of the home, with construction, budget, and your goals in mind.

You have one point of contact and one team guiding your whole home remodel from concept through construction. Browse our portfolio to see what’s possible when you work with our Twin Cities design-build team. You can also read testimonials from happy homeowners to see what we do in our clients' words.

Is a Whole Home Remodel Worth It in the Twin Cities?

Yes, a whole home remodel can be worth it, especially when you love your home and neighborhood, but the house itself no longer works for the way you live.

Instead of moving, a whole home remodel lets you address several needs at once. You can improve the flow between rooms, create a kitchen that better supports everyday life, add storage where you actually need it, update your owner’s suite, finish your lower level, and create a more consistent feel throughout your home.

For homeowners in established Twin Cities communities like Edina, Wayzata, and Minnetonka, remodeling can also mean staying in a location that would be difficult to replace.

Increase Your Home’s Livability and Value

A successful whole home remodel can improve both your experience of your home and its long-term value.

Better layouts can make everyday routines easier. Updated gathering spaces can make hosting more comfortable. Thoughtful storage can reduce clutter. An updated kitchen, owner’s suite, bathrooms, and lower level can make more of your existing square footage useful.

There’s also value in addressing the home as a whole. Instead of completing a series of disconnected projects over many years, whole home remodeling gives you the opportunity to make decisions with the entire house in mind.

The result is a home that feels more cohesive, works better for the way you live today, and is better prepared to serve you for years to come.

FAQS ABOUT REMODELING YOUR WHOLE HOME in the

What Is Included in a Whole Home Remodel?expand_more

A whole home remodel can include several connected areas of your home.

It may also include changes to the floor plan, custom cabinetry, flooring, lighting, and updates to plumbing, electrical, or mechanical systems.

Not every room has to be completely remodeled. MA Peterson looks at the home as a whole to determine which changes will make the biggest difference in how the spaces look, feel, and work together.

Can You Live in Your Home During a Whole Home Remodel?expand_more

It depends on the scope of your project and which areas of the house are under construction.

For larger renovations that affect the kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms, or multiple levels at the same time, living elsewhere during some or all of the construction may be the more practical option. If portions of the home remain usable, staying at home may be possible.

As your project takes shape, the MA Peterson team will help you understand what construction will involve so you can plan accordingly.

Should You Remodel Your Twin Cities Home at Once or in Phases?expand_more

That depends on your home, priorities, and the spaces you want to remodel.

When several areas are connected or share structural, plumbing, electrical, flooring, or other work, planning them together allows the design team to consider how decisions in one part of the home will affect another.

If completing the entire project at once doesn’t make sense, MA Peterson can also help you think through the larger plan so decisions made today work with improvements you may want to make later.

Do You Need to Hire an Architectural Designer Separately for a Whole Home Remodel?expand_more

With MA Peterson’s design-build approach, you don’t need to assemble separate design and construction teams yourself.

MA Peterson has architectural designers on staff who work alongside interior designers and construction professionals throughout the project. When engineering or other specialized expertise is needed, those services can be coordinated as part of the process.

This keeps design and construction connected from the beginning, which is especially important when remodeling multiple areas of a home.

Does MA Peterson provide whole home remodeling throughout the Twin Cities?expand_more

MA Peterson provides whole home remodeling throughout the Twin Cities, including Edina, Wayzata, Minnetonka, and surrounding communities.

How Long Does a Whole Home Remodel Take?expand_more

Whole home remodeling timelines vary based on the size and scope of the project. At MA Peterson, remodeling construction generally takes 90 days to 6 months. Your project also includes time for design, selections, planning, and preconstruction before work begins, with a more specific schedule developed for your remodel.

Our Design-Build Process

01 | Your Current Space

With a Design Agreement we start by creating a digital replication of your home’s floor plan (at least the areas we plan on working in). We often use modern technology like MatterPort to scan and capture a 3D model. The point is to get a super accurate starting point from which we can design. This typically takes a few weeks.

 
02 | Design Your Dream

This is your project and your dream – and we want to understand as much as we can. We meet to listen to your goals, priorities, and dreams. Homeowners often find it helpful to show us pictures on websites like Houzz or Pinterest that they’ve found inspirational. 

 
03 | Visual Concept

With the vision you’ve laid out for us, we get to work creating concepts for your new space. As we collaborate with you, we hone in on the plan you love most. With that plan we create more refined drawings and provide a project cost estimate (within 10%). Your availability to meet and decisiveness drives this stage’s duration.

What Our Clients Think

"MA Peterson created a beautiful owner suite & bathroom for us. We loved that every step of the project was mapped out in advance AND they stayed on schedule and budget. We have a timeless and gorgeous retreat thanks to MA Peterson and will use them again for our next remodel project. They were worth every penny!"

What Our Clients Think

"I could tell that once they get to the part about how the company was set up, my husband’s ears totally perked up. He really gets into that stuff, I know he thought it was really smart. I got the sense that they had an intellectual interest in any project. They weren’t just searching for the home they could put on the luxury home tour."

What Our Clients Think

"Just completed a remodel project with MA Peterson in a high rise condo which makes it all the more difficult. I can’t say enough about the efficiency and professionalism of Jesse and Curt, including the subs they engaged. They were finished ahead of time and under budget. The results are even better than I hoped for. I’m sure they can do big jobs too, but I didn’t expect to find someone who could handle a small, but complex - to me at least - job. 10 stars for this group!"
