Our Most Requested Remodeling Projects in Minnesota

Home remodeling in Minnesota isn’t just about upgrading finishes — it’s about making everyday life more comfortable, functional, and beautiful. Whether it’s a kitchen that finally fits the way your family gathers or a basement that becomes a cozy retreat from the cold, every project tells the story of a home reimagined for the people who live in it.

At Vertex Contracting, we’ve helped homeowners across the Lake Minnetonka area turn frustration into satisfaction. Here’s a look at some of the most requested remodeling projects we’re seeing — and why they’ve become top priorities for Minnesota homeowners.

1. Kitchen Remodels: The Heart of Every Home

It’s no surprise that kitchen remodels continue to top the list. For most families, the kitchen isn’t just where meals are made — it’s where life happens. From open-concept layouts to custom storage and upgraded lighting, homeowners are looking for a kitchen that blends style, efficiency, and warmth.

Popular requests include:

  • Expanding islands for cooking and entertaining

  • Removing walls for better flow

  • Upgrading cabinetry and countertops for a timeless look

  • Adding layered lighting and durable flooring for everyday comfort

When designed thoughtfully, a kitchen remodel transforms more than the space — it transforms how you feel in your home.

2. Bathroom Retreats: Everyday Luxury

Minnesotans are leaning into comfort when it comes to their bathrooms. Homeowners want a space that feels calming and restorative — like a personal spa that helps them recharge at the start and end of each day.

Top upgrades include:

  • Walk-in tiled showers with frameless glass

  • Heated flooring for cold mornings

  • Warm wood tones and natural stone textures

  • Improved storage with built-in vanities and linen towers

A well-designed bathroom isn’t just about looks; it’s about how it makes you feel. Functionality meets serenity — and that’s where great design lives.

3. Basement Finishes: Turning Unused Space into Family Space

A finished basement can easily add a whole new layer of livable square footage — especially important during Minnesota winters. Whether you’re envisioning a cozy media room, guest suite, or play area for the kids, basement remodels are one of the most practical ways to add comfort and value to your home.

Common features include:

  • Wet bars and built-in entertainment areas

     

  • Luxury vinyl plank flooring for durability

     

  • Accent lighting and warm paint tones

     

  • Updated laundry spaces or home offices

     

The possibilities are endless — and our team helps homeowners make the most of every square foot.

4. Home Additions: Space That Grows with You

As families evolve, so do their homes. From expanding the main living area to adding a sunroom, many homeowners are finding that building out is the perfect alternative to moving.

Additions often include:

  • Primary suite expansions

  • Four-season porches

  • Mudrooms with built-in storage

  • Kitchen or dining room extensions

Each addition is designed to blend seamlessly with the existing home — both structurally and stylistically — so it feels like it’s always been there.

5. Whole-Home Transformations: A Fresh Start, Right Where You Are

For homeowners ready to take a bigger step, whole-home remodels create a consistent, updated look and feel throughout every space. These projects often include modern layouts, cohesive design details, and energy-efficient upgrades.

It’s a complete reimagining of how your home supports your lifestyle — and it’s one of the most rewarding experiences we get to deliver.
