We remodeled our entire main level. From the entry in the garage, to the laundry room, powder room, kitchen, living area, stairway to 2nd level, and additional upstairs laundry. Every aspect in every room turned out flawless. When asked what they could’ve done different or better, we couldn’t come up with a thing. They were always on time, pleasant, and very informative. If you are looking to remodel your home, AMEK should be at the top of your list. A few years later now, we had AMEK remodel our entire 2nd level. Redid both bathrooms with huge walk-in showers, turned one of the bedrooms into an office with built-in cabinets and desk, put in a new hallway walk-in closet, and added another closet in the master bedroom. We also removed all the carpet for fabulous looking floors. We finished off the house with a new metal roof. Once again AMEK nailed it!! Everything turned out spectacular. I highly recommend going with AMEK for any/all of your bigger remodeling projects.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a major kitchen remodel, where the wall between the kitchen and dining room was taken out and the whole area gutted to the studs.  After choosing a design we liked the demolition started as we chose colors, cupboards, tile and quartz countertops.  We had trips to Ferguson Home for the kitchen sink and the faucet,  and Warners Stellian for appliances.  Allof the contracted workers were very friendly and did great work, from plumbing and electrical to sheet rocking, painting, and wood floor installation.  All contractors also were great at cleaning up at the end of their day.  It was so great to see the new kitchen come together,  and we are so excited to use this new awesome space.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We hired AMEK to do a complete remodel of a 1,600 sq. ft. condo we bought last spring. The original unit hadn't been updated in a long time, and we wanted to turn it into a place where my husband and I could successfully "age in place." My husband has Parkinson's disease, so my goal was to make it accessible and easy to maintain, but without sacrificing style or personality. We moved in right before Thanksgiving, and we absolutely LOVE the finished product. In addition, working with the AMEK team was a great experience--from Patrick, who gave us great advice; to Hanna, who embraced my sense of style, helped vet our various choices and found me the ideal faucet for a themed bath; to Jason who managed the daily crews and rearranged the schedule as needed without skipping a beat and was always friendly, responsive and professional throughout the process. Even our new neighbors commented on how nice and professional the AMEK crews were! Overall, I was pleased by how smooth the process went (with no major "surprise" expenses and very minimal delays) and am absolutely thrilled with the end result. I'd definitely recommend AMEK for your next project.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. AMEK Design + Build was incredible to work with. Their combination of value, quality and a transparent process made our remodel a fantastic experience from start to finish. Patrick’s deep knowledge and guidance were invaluable, Maddie kept us organized and elevated the design and style, and Derrick managed everything on site while keeping us consistently informed (and sane). Highly recommend AMEK — we’ll absolutely be working with them again!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We knew when we bought our house 11 years ago we would someday want to remodel the main level of our home. We had ideas of what we wanted and knew the project wasn't going to be small. Finding someone to work with who we would trust to help us create our dream home was concerning. The day we sat down with Matthew for our initial meeting and heard more about AMEK as a company, their creative process, their team and project timeline, we knew they would be a perfect fit. Brenton and Maddie met with us early on to hear what we were hoping to achieve with our vision, and Maddie knocked it out of the park with her designs, giving us 3 initial options to choose from, 2 of which completely opened our eyes to possibilities we didn't even think of. Picking out our colors and accessories was so easy, as the choices Maddie gave us truly reiterated how much she listened in our initial conversation. It was easy, fun, and not at all as stressful. Each step got us even more excited about the final product. Our project manager Jason was phenomenal. Every week he emailed us what the team accomplished as well as what to expect the next week. He gave us a preliminary schedule when the project started of what to expect and stuck to the schedule. Any questions or concerns he let us know right away. His communication was amazing. He was so involved in the process, even if he wasn't there every day (which he usually was). He answered every question we had and if he didn't know the answer, would do whatever he could to find it. His attention to detail made us confident that the project wasn't going to just "get done," but would get done correctly. Ted, Doug, and Sean are/were incredibly hard workers from the moment the demo started until the very end of our project. They were punctual, so kind, never complained, respectful to our home, and they cleaned up their area every night before they left, which in the chaos of a major renovation meant so much to us. All of the team members of AMEK were so pleasant, including their subcontractors. They work as a team and were aware of what was going on at any point during the process. Having complete trust and confidence in the company you hire to make your vision come to life is so important. Do yourself a favor - stop scrolling and set up the appointment. I promise you won't be disappointed. We are forever grateful that we signed our contract with AMEK and made our dream come true.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We used AMEK to remodel our first floor. We had a great experience from start to finish. The design team really got to know us and came up with a great plan. The build team was excellent. Having people in your home for several months can be exhausting but the AMEK crew was friendly, hard working and did great work. We are thrilled with the outcome of our project.

AMEK renovated our main level and did an incredible job. It was a fairly major project that involved taking an exterior wall down and incorporating a three season porch. I am so pleased with the results and finally having the kitchen of my dreams. AMEK laid out a schedule in advance and did and great job communicating throughout the process. Despite some unforeseen complications they finished right on schedule. I highly recommend them!

We recently completed a kitchen and mudroom remodel with AMEK, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience or the result. The design process felt like a true “dreaming phase”—fun, inspiring, and ultimately so much better than anything we could have created on our own. Their design consulting was invaluable, helping us shape a beautiful plan that perfectly captured the vibe we had envisioned. Throughout the project, communication was excellent. From the proposal and renderings to the day-to-day updates during the build, we always knew what was happening and what was coming next. The proposal was clear and comprehensive, and while the pricing isn’t the lowest, it’s absolutely fair for the level of professionalism, skill, and care that AMEK delivers. Project management was outstanding, with our dedicated Field Manager keeping everything on track and on time. The carpenters and build team were exceptional—skilled, respectful, and surprisingly fun to have in our home every day. In the end, AMEK delivered a beautiful, well-crafted remodel that exceeded our expectations. We’re deeply grateful for their expertise and would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone considering a home project.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. AMEK impressed us from our first meeting—prompt and detailed communication, thoughtful design ideas that were responsive to what we indicated we wanted, clear price breakdowns and scheduling information, and an honest assessment of ROI on our kitchen remodel. We appreciated AMEK’s honesty, their clear communication about the scope of work and the way they tackled the work and partnered with us. Our designer, Hannah, met with us several times and listened carefully to what we thought we wanted and provided creative, practical solutions for our kitchen space and the overall project.  We were impressed with her range of knowledge, her beautiful design skills, and with her thoughtful and smart solutions to questions and issues that arose. The team kept to the scheduled plan, protected our home throughout the process, and provided regular updates with a longer re-cap each week.  Asher and Derrick, our site managers, did a great job of answering all our questions, brainstorming when we ran into minor glitches and keeping us informed when we were out of town.  We were pleased with the subcontractors they used. Everyone who was in and out of our house over the 3+ month project was respectful and professional. Our finished kitchen is functional, beautiful, and built with top-notch materials. Every detail, from cabinets to flooring to appliances to lighting to tile, reflects quality and our hopes for the space.  We are thrilled with the final product. We highly recommend AMEK for their professionalism, quality work, and attentive service.

Frequently Asked Questions About Residential Remodeling

Considering a home remodel? Many homeowners have questions about the remodeling process. Here are the most common questions we hear from Twin Cities homeowners.

Planning Your Remodel

How much does a typical remodeling project cost?

Costs vary widely based on scope, materials, and complexity. Our custom design process means no two projects are alike. During our initial consultation, we’ll discuss your budget and provide realistic guidance based on our vast experience.

When is the best time to remodel my home?

While remodeling can happen year-round in Minnesota, many homeowners prefer starting exterior projects in spring or summer. Interior renovations can begin anytime, though planning ahead is key since our schedule often fills months in advance, especially during busy seasons.

Should I remodel or move to a new house?

This depends on how much you love your location, the potential value after renovating, and your attachment to your current home. If you love your neighborhood but your house no longer meets your needs, remodeling often makes more sense than the costs and stress of moving.

How do I set a realistic budget for my project?

Start by prioritizing your must-haves versus nice-to-haves. Talk with us about what we are currently seeing for similar projects. During our initial consultation, we can help develop a budget that aligns with your goals.

Do I need an architect for my remodeling project?

As a design-build firm, AMEK provides both architectural design and construction services. If you’re changing the structure or adding on, our designers will draw up the plans. This makes talking about the project easier and keeps the build true to the design.

During Construction

How long will my remodeling project take?

Project timelines depend on size and complexity. A bathroom renovation might take 5–10 weeks, while a kitchen typically requires 8–10 weeks. Whole home remodels generally take around 4-6 months. We provide detailed schedules during the planning phase and keep you updated throughout construction.

Can we stay in our home during renovation?

This depends on the project scope. For single-room renovations like kitchens or bathrooms, most clients remain at home. For whole-house remodels or projects affecting multiple areas, temporary relocation might be necessary. We’ll discuss this during planning to help you prepare.

How do you protect our home during construction?

We implement thorough dust control measures, including plastic barriers and air scrubbers. We also protect floors, furniture, and other items in the construction zone and access paths. Daily cleanup keeps the site as orderly as possible.

How often will we communicate during the project?

We schedule regular progress meetings, typically weekly, to review work completed and upcoming phases. Your project manager is available by phone or email for questions between meetings, and we provide regular updates through our project management system.

What if we want to make changes during construction?

Changes during construction are possible but may affect the timeline and budget. We document all change orders in writing, including cost and schedule implications, before proceeding. Making major decisions during the design phase helps minimize changes during construction.

The Design Process

How involved will I be in the design process?

As much as you want to be! Some clients enjoy being part of every decision, while others prefer to approve major milestones. We tailor our communication to your preferences while ensuring you have all the information needed for important decisions.

How long does the design phase take?

The design phase typically takes 60-90 days, depending on project complexity and how quickly you make decisions. Kitchen and bathroom designs may be faster, while whole-home renovations or additions require more extensive planning.

Can you work with my existing furniture and décor?

Absolutely! Our designers consider your existing pieces when planning your remodel. We can create designs that complement your current style or help transition to a new aesthetic while incorporating cherished items.

What if I don't know exactly what I want?

That’s completely normal and actually quite common. Our designers will ask questions, show examples, and guide you through options to help clarify your preferences. We often find that homeowners know what they don’t like, which helps narrow down choices.

Do you provide 3D renderings of the design?

Yes, for all projects, we create 3D renderings that help you visualize the finished space. These digital mockups show materials, layouts, and design elements before construction begins, making it easier to refine the design until it’s exactly what you want.

After Your Project

Do you handle all necessary permits?

Yes, we manage the entire permitting process. Our team has extensive experience with local building departments throughout the Twin Cities area and understands what’s required for each type of project.

How do you handle unexpected issues during construction?

Even with thorough planning, surprises can occur when opening walls or floors. Our detailed pre-construction phase eliminates most surprises by slowing down enough to fully evaluate. In the event something unforeseen arises during construction, we maintain transparent communication about any unexpected findings. Our experienced team can quickly develop solutions to keep your project moving forward.

What warranties do you offer on your work?

We stand behind our craftsmanship with a comprehensive warranty. We also honor manufacturer warranties on all products and materials installed in your home. Details are outlined in our performance guidelines that you will receive during contract and after construction.

Will my property taxes increase after remodeling?

Significant home improvements typically increase property value, which can lead to higher property taxes. The specific impact depends on your location and the extent of improvements. We can discuss this during planning, but consulting with a county assessor is recommended for specific advice.

How do I care for and maintain my newly remodeled spaces?

We provide detailed care instructions for all materials and systems in your remodeled space. Before project completion, we’ll walk you through proper maintenance procedures and leave you with a homeowner’s manual that includes warranty information and care guidelines for easy reference.
