They are an extremely talented team and create spaces that are as beautiful as they are functional! It is ever apparent how hard they work to build a strong relationship with clients which makes all the difference in the end. Highly recommended! **★★★★★ — Josh Blanc, Dec. 2017** > I have worked with White Crane Construction on many projects. Their designers have a great design aesthetic. Their finished projects are high quality. I appreciate that they use local handmade products like mine to create one of kind installations. They have always been very professional and easy to communicate and work with. I always look forward to working with them. **★★★★★ — Susan Larson, Sept. 2017** > White Crane worked with us to create a gorgeous new master bath. Their experienced and expert staff listened to our needs and presented us with design options that were innovative and perfectly suited to us. They provided detailed drawings and a project book that outlined exactly what the materials, design and scope of the work was. The staff at White Crane and their project partners worked seamlessly. Their communication and professionalism throughout the process was outstanding. We knew what to expect and they met with us every week to review progress and the schedule ahead. The project finished on schedule and within our budget. We are over the moon about our new space and cannot express how highly we recommend White Crane for your next project. **★★★★★ — HU-270830, Aug. 2017** > White Crane design:build adheres to the highest standard of quality and professionalism. We hired WC in 2015 for an extensive renovation of our 1914 Craftsman home, including new kitchen, basement and bathrooms. The design process, prep, construction and follow up have been beyond our expectations. And, when issues arose after completion with product defects (ex. cracked kitchen sink) the team was on it and found a replacement and completed the installation without question. I will not hesitate to hire White Crane again. **★★★★★ — Laura Maksymkow, March 2017** > We couldn’t be happier with the final finished space! > > White Crane was wonderful to work with from the initial consult, through the design stage, through the whole construction phase and all the way to the final finishing touches. It’s nice to work with a company that wants to know your goals and desires before even starting the project. We were very comfortable with how they treated our home during the construction and never had to worry about someone being there while we were at work. Everyone on their team was a joy to work with. A special touch was the $50 charitable contribution because we filled out a survey after the job was complete. **★★★★★ — Angela Warner, Dec. 2016** > As an appliance retailer I have done business with White Crane. I find them to be honest, easy to work with, and very good at managing the details of the project. I would highly recommend them to a client or a friend who is in need of a remodel. **★★★★★ — Rubble Tile, Nov. 2016** > White Crane projects have a visual integrity. Looking at their remodel projects, you would think the home had been designed from the beginning to have the well-planned look White Crane has brought it to. They make changes that are very creative, but that also feel consistent with the home's character. **★★★★★ — thor4833, Oct. 2016** > We hired White Crane Construction to add a powder room to our main level, remodel our kitchen and back entry/mudroom, and add a deck to our 1924 home. They provided an excellent design to accomplish all our needs. They kept the integrity of the house while updating it into the 21st century. Wonderful project management. The end result exceeded our expectations. We would highly recommend them. **★★★★★ — roxannejcornell, Oct. 2016** > White Crane performed a total remodel of my 1941 2-story home, staying within the original footprint. They gutted the kitchen, added two 1/2 baths with a shared shower all within a small space and made it look and feel roomy. We added an egress window in the lower level and upgraded the lower level bedroom to code. They touched every room in my 4000sq' home. They were responsive, incredibly detailed oriented and a calming presence when I was having a melt down from the stress of the size of the project. They were reassuring and everything we planned turned out beyond our expectations! **★★★★★ — pstegor, Oct. 2016** > White Crane helped me with my kitchen, laundry room, office and family room remodel. We gutted and modernized. They met their timelines and managed the job very well. They were professional and stood behind the quality of their work. They listened to our feedback to ensure the design and project met both form and function. We love our remodeled main floor that is practical to entertain and beautiful at the same time. **★★★★★ — mjmiest, July 2016** > We recently completed our second project with White Crane. We added an external door, deck, railing, and side light to our old Minneapolis home. We again worked with the crew of Katie (designer), Bill (project manager), and Jake (carpenter). And yet again, White Crane delivered. This was a "small" project but tricky due to MAC sound requirements for the door. White Crane was able to find solutions that would not only work but look natural and like it "belonged" to our 1926 home. The work was excellent, the communication beyond expectations, and the final product was on budget and gorgeous. This is the second time we have used White Crane and we look forward to future projects with them. **★★★★ — astepnes, July 2016** > Working with White Crane was a smooth and satisfying experience. I found the designer to be helpful, but not pushy. I valued their input, but appreciated that they did not insist on their opinion over mine. They bumped out our kitchen, and I now have a room that make people stare and say "I have kitchen envy" ## Selected projects - [Elegant Main Level Remodel in Edina](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/elegant-main-level-remodel-in-edina-pj-vj~6943432) - Location: Edina, MN - Photos: 6 - [Mid-Century Modern Kitchen & Stair Overhaul](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mid-century-modern-kitchen-and-stair-overhaul-pj-vj~6943436) - Location: Saint Paul, MN - Photos: 8 - [Minnehaha Attic Primary Suite](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/minnehaha-attic-primary-suite-pj-vj~6943444) - Location: Minneapolis, MN - Photos: 7 - [Modern Kitchen & Vaulted Living](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-kitchen-and-vaulted-living-pj-vj~6836463) - Location: Bloomington, MN - Photos: 13 - Description: After living in the home for 20 years, our clients wanted to create a fresh, modern space for their family.
