### Reviews

**★★★★★ — HU-778477906, Jan. 2024**

> We are so happy with our addition. Quartersawn was professional, friendly, creative, and finished our project exactly when promised! They also facilitated us staying in the house in spite of the project involving taking off the back of our house! Would highly recommend QS. Dawn F

**★★★★★ — Lonnie Bryan, May 2023**

> They designed and built an open floor plan that has us in awe daily.  The project was completed on-time and near the predicted cost despite several modifications during construction.

**★★★★★ — Melissa Kell, May 2023**

> We used Quartersawn for an addition on our 1909 home and they exceeded every expectation we had! The project team was incredibly organized and excellent communicators, the onsite crew treated our home with as much love as we do, and the design team was incredibly skilled, and met our \#1 criteria - create a beautiful new space that flowed smoothly with the existing home. Would work with them again in a second!

**★★★★★ — osheaa, Aug. 2022**

> We used Quartersawn for a complete main floor remodel of our 1916 home in Minneapolis. This included a complete down to the studs remodel of the kitchen with reconfiguration of all appliances as well as refinishing original hardwood floors and matching existing 100 year old woodwork. We had a wonderful experience. They were professional and treated us like we were the only clients they had. Communication was excellent. The finished product is beautiful and high quality and still functional! We have nothing but wonderful things to say about them, cannot recommend them enough! Oh, and we finished on budget and on time!

**★★★★★ — HU-462109808, April 2022**

> Quartersawn worked with us to design and execute a major 6 month remodel of our home. It looks better than we thought it could, and they finished a week early! Quartersawn is professional in every sense of the word. They listen well, contribute in a very productive way, and perform to a very high standard. We are thrilled.

**★★★★★ — Elizabeth Christensen, Jan. 2022**

> Our newly designed and constructed space by Quartersawn Design Build has changed our life.  The staff at QDB worked tirelessly from finish to end to create the space we had always dreamed of.  Quartersawn listened intently to our hopes and dreams and supported us and affirmed us through the whole process, every step of the way.  Very personable and engaged small company!

**★★★★★ — Jon Moore, Sept. 2021**

> Incredibly professional and thoughtful company! High quality work and very responsive to needs the whole way through. Would definitely recommend Quartersawn to someone looking to do a home remodel.

**★★★★★ — HU-987263990, Jan. 2021**

> We can't speak highly enough about our fantastic experience with Quartersawn! We are so incredibly grateful for the work they did to remodel our new home before we moved in. We picked Quartersawn, having talked to several design build & other firms, because of their obvious professionalism, their immediate feedback on the project and estimated costs and timing (which turned out to be spot on!), and their willingness to work quickly with us--on a timeframe much faster than what they usually do--so we could get into our new home as soon as possible. Then when they actually did the work they blew us away. The work itself is incredible, absolutely gorgeous, the design was better than we could have ever imagined (and cooler than anything I've seen online), and the process was so stress-free. They communicated well and followed their clearly laid out plans. We couldn't recommend Quartersawn more highly. So grateful for you all!

**★★★★★ — HU-229100714, Nov. 2020**

> We've had a working relationship with Quartersawn for over two years - as long as we've lived in our 100+ year old craftsman - and they have become like family. They're extremely professional, collaborative and communicative. We've done two renovations with them, together totaling a year's time. The first was a complete kitchen redesign, with updates to our dining room, fireplace conversion and a powder room addition; they also reconfigured our second floor to convert a small 4th bedroom and unheated porch into a second bathroom and fully usable bedroom, respectively.
>
> The second renovation was a full basement finishing with a gorgeous bathroom, laundry room and family room with custom built-in cabinetry. We had great experiences with our team both times and especially the second time around with our designer Kayla Vig who took great care to listen and make thoughtful suggestions based on our concerns/ideas.
>
> Crucially, for both projects they kept the integrity of the house's character and history in mind while designing new spaces. Nothing feels out of place and we couldn't love our home more.
>
> The process to plan out such huge renovations is arduous. It is months of meetings and dozens of emails and decisions, but they made it as painless as they could by being friendly, transparent and responsive. Quartersawn takes care of everything from finding fixtures to ordering carpet to contracting out special builds. We hope to work with them again in the future.

**★★★★★ — Angie McIntyre, July 2020**

> Quartersawn did a phenomenal job turning our dreary, dated downstairs walkout into a bright, open family space! The entire team was pleasant and professional from start to finish, and navigated the complexities of remodeling during Covid with care and responsiveness. The team worked hard to understand our family and cater the experience and design to our needs and wishes. We are so pleased with our end result, and would highly recommend the Quartersawn team!

**★★★★★ — James Vandervelde, June 2020**

> We are absolutely thrilled with the work that Quartersawn did to help us realize our dream of updating our deck and adding a "Wow!" screen porch!  They have a truly cohesive team of professionals that all work together seamlessly and provide ongoing communication throughout the process.  They listened carefully to what we wanted to do and nudged us in the right directions and in the end exceeded our expectations.  The whole crew did their best to not be intrusive and were a pleasure to have around the house.  Highly recommend!

**★★★★★ — User, March 2020**

> Quartersawn is very professional, responsive, and did a great job on our remodel! The team had great design ideas and were very responsive even after the project completion. We had no problems with punch list issues and the house is great. We recommend.

  - Description: Come inside this 1924 Spanish Colonial home we renovated in Mac-Grove, St. Paul. In 2005, a two-story addition was added to the rear of the home which created a lot of one-way traffic. The homeowners reached out to Quartersawn to better unify the space and improve the flow throughout the main level of their home.

  - Description: After 14 years in their secluded 1990s home, the owners, now empty nesters, found themselves at a crossroads. Do they snowbird, downsize, or stay? The answer came easily; they loved their home. It just needed a reinvention. What began as a modest kitchen and bath update evolved into a sweeping transformation of the main floor and much of the second. After some inquisitive questions from our design team. The couple quickly realized they weren’t using half of their first floor. By relocating the k…
- [Lake Harriet Revival](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lake-harriet-revival-pj-vj~7547976)
  - Location: Minneapolis, MN
  - Photos: 6
  - Description: The owners of this 1925 Tuscan-style home love their neighborhood. Nestled just south of Lake Harriet, this charming, tree-lined area seemed ideal for their family. However, they knew from day one that the house required some work to truly feel like home. Though the property had been lovingly maintained through the years, the original kitchen was cramped and outdated. As avid entertainers, they longed for a kitchen that served as a welcoming hub for friends and family. And with our homeowner’s p…
- [Tangletown Transformation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/tangletown-transformation-pj-vj~7339753)
  - Location: Minneapolis, MN

  - Description: The homeowners of this charming 1920s residence located in the heart of Tangletown were eager to enhance the flow and functionality of their primary living space, the kitchen, all while preserving the architectural integrity of the home. To achieve this, Quartersawn removed a large utility closet to create a more spacious kitchen, complete with a generous antique-styled island. This reconfiguration facilitated the expansion of the doorway between the kitchen and dining room, enhancing the overal…

Eager to preserve their bond with the neighborhood while modernizing their living space, they turned to Quartersawn to bring their vision to life. The transformation inc…
- [East Harriet Expansion](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/east-harriet-expansion-pj-vj~7315640)
  - Location: Minneapolis, MN
  - Photos: 9
  - Description: This home had a spacious lot with a pool, but the views and circulation were lacking. Our homeowners were eager to have a welcoming space to entertain their family and friends. We built an addition that extends to the back and side of the home creating space for a large kitchen, cozy dinette, and an inviting family room. The homeowners wanted to make the most of their backyard, so we built wall-to-wall windows letting in plenty of natural light and stunning views. We transformed the old, dimly l…

  - Description: The owners of this 1913 abode in St. Anthony Park, loved their home’s historic charm and the established feel of their neighborhood. However, they felt limited by the lack of flexible space and dreamed of a dedicated space for friends and family to stay at a moment’s notice. With a desire to create a welcoming retreat, they set out to add a space that would complement the architectural style of their main home and offer a cozy haven for visitors. Quartersawn was brought on to design and build a…

  - Description: The owners of this 1928 Linden Hills Tudor home cherished the sense of community in the neighborhood. Charming as their home was and its location across the street from a large park, the home, especially the kitchen and back entrance lacked functionality and connection to the outdoors. Drawing from their extensive travels, they wanted to incorporate the unique cultures they had experienced and still honor the architecture of their home. Quartersawn designed and constructed a one-story addition t…

Stunning white…
- [Modern Tudor Sunroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-tudor-sunroom-pj-vj~6695007)
  - Location: Minneapolis, MN
  - Photos: 5
  - Description: The owners of this classic Tudor home in the Cedar Lake area of Minneapolis loved its layout and charm, but they felt cut off from the outdoors. Quartersawn's solution was to place a "glass box" sunroom in the existing side yard; it is modern, clean, and minimal on the interior, but distinctly Tudor on the outside. The majesty of the original home was enhanced by tying in the new outdoor spaces and seamlessly - yet distinctively - integrating the sunroom to the rest of the home.
- [Tudor Contemporized](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/tudor-contemporized-pj-vj~6695045)
  - Location: Minneapolis, MN
  - Photos: 5
  - Description: This was a three-story addition that brings a slightly more contemporary feel and amenities into a beautifully historic home – a seamless blending of 1927 and 2021. On the lower level, the rec room was refurbished and expanded to add a playroom. On the main level, the addition supports the new, combined open kitchen and eating area that now flow into the existing porch with a new archway that matches the house’s historical style. The new mudroom is concealed from the main flow of the house, and…

  - Description: This tear down / modern new build located on a unique Edina creek-side property is tailored beautifully to the owners’ lifestyle and taste, as well as the spacious property they selected. Clad in white stucco and contrasting cedar shiplap, this sharp modern Tudor provides spaces for both in and outdoor living. Clever storage solutions abound in the custom kitchen with warm walnut cabinets. Floor to ceiling windows in the open living space showcase a dramatic view of the creek.
- [Tangletown Untagled](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/tangletown-untagled-pj-vj~7302566)
  - Location: Minneapolis, MN
  - Photos: 4
  - Description: This 1918 Minneapolis home suffered from multiple remodels that didn’t honor the home’s character. The choppy layout lacked function. With Quartersawn’s solution, the layout was altered and walls were moved to create useful, thoughtful spaces. The mudroom, which had been open to a rarely used family room, was closed off. A powder room was moved to make it larger. A wall was removed between the kitchen and dining room to create a large but intimate great room, with a natural flow from the front t…

  - Description: One block from Lake Harriet in Linden Hills, this American Craftsman home underwent a 3-story renovation incorporating some Scandinavian flair with a modern twist.

This creative vision is expressed in the design style and chosen finishes throughout the renovation.
