Where Shorewood’s “The Shore” Meets Premier Home Remodeling

Fun Fact: Shorewood wraps around the southern and western shores of Lake Minnetonka with an impressive 13 miles of shoreline—the most of any Lake Minnetonka community. The city developed in the early 1900s as a summer cottage destination and has evolved into a prestigious year-round residential community while maintaining its distinctive wooded character, scenic views, and strong connection to the lake across its 5.6 square miles.

AMEK Design + Build enhances Shorewood’s distinctive neighborhoods through thoughtful renovations – from charming lakeside cottages to elegant estates in Christmas Lake Colony. When your Shorewood home needs transformation, we preserve its architectural character while creating modern spaces that maximize water views and embrace the city’s natural beauty.

Our team has nearly three decades of experience addressing Minnesota climate challenges, ensuring your remodel performs beautifully year-round while maximizing energy efficiency during our harsh winters and humid summers.

When is the best time to start a remodeling project in Shorewood, MN?

We build all year, but start planning 3-6 months ahead. April through October works best for outdoor projects during our Minnesota construction season. Winter months are perfect for indoor work. We’ll help schedule around our state’s weather patterns for the smoothest project timeline.

How do you help clients visualize their Shorewood, MN remodel before construction?

We create realistic walkthroughs that account for Minnesota‘s unique natural light patterns throughout the year, helping you make confident decisions about your space.

Value & Materials

Do you incorporate Minnesota-made materials in your projects?

Whenever possible, we source locally made fixtures, cabinetry, and materials from Minnesota craftspeople and suppliers. This supports our local economy while providing unique design elements with Shorewood, MN character. From Cambria countertops to locally milled woodwork, we can incorporate authentic materials that tell your home’s story.

How does AMEK help homeowners maximize value in Shorewood, MN's real estate market?

Building & Regulations

What permits are required for remodeling in Minnesota?

Minnesota building codes require permits for most structural, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical work. Requirements vary by municipality throughout the Twin Cities.
