Never late for a meeting. He was always willing to work through any issue that came up and provide a win win for everyone. He responded to every phone call or email within 24 hours. We really appreciated his energy and responsiveness. **★★★★★ — Kari Campbell Interiors, Oct. 2019** > We can't recommend Kroiss Development enough. Their attention to detail and top-of-class expertise is remarkable. We hired them to build our home from the ground up 10 years ago. When it was time to finish our lower level there was no question who we would use. Kroiss and their sub-contractors are professional, organized and timely. Their craftsmanship is second to none. Highly recommend! **★★★★★ — AVID Audio Visual Installation & Design, Oct. 2018** > We have been doing A/V work for Kroiss Development's clients for over 4 years. Todd and his crew are extremely responsive, honest and reliable. Not to mention, fun! Everything from the planning phase to the job completion, always goes very smoothly. We love working with Kroiss and highly recommend using them to build or remodel your dream home! **★★★★★ — Spring Plumbing, Oct. 2018** > Spring Plumbing works with the finest home builders & remodelers in the Twin Cities area, and have been fortunate to partner with Kroiss Development and Todd Simning for over 20 years.

He always had our trust. He worked hard to meet our budget and deadlines. He was always available to answer any questions or address any concerns. We always knew he had our interests at heart. He demanded a lot from his subs and they delivered in quality, value and craftsmanship. Overall, we had a wonderful design/build experience. **★★★★★ — Stacia Fetters, Nov. 2017** > Kroiss Development Inc. was the builder for our new home in Chanhassen, MN and they were phenomenal! From the onset of the project up until its completion, they worked closely with us to identify and execute the building of our family's dream home. They created a custom home for us; incorporating our personal style, ideal floor-plan, and even an indoor sport court! Todd and team were wonderful to work with and we couldn't be happier with the results! **★★★★★ — mtullemans, Sept. 2017** > Todd was a pleasure to work with. Our project was on time and on budget. Any overages were preapproved and there were no surprises. Todd was always very responsive to any questions or concerns and we had and went out of his way to make sure we were well informed at all times. We would not hesitate to build with Kroiss again! Thanks Todd and the rest of your staff for a beautiful home! **★★★★★ — Jennifer Melin, Aug. 2017** > We highly recommend working with Todd Simning/ Kroiss Development. We have worked with Todd on other projects and we chose to build our new home with him because he is reliable, professional, honest, responsive and he always does what he says he will do. The subs he hires are also very professional. He always meets deadlines and there were no surprises in terms of the budget/expenses. We love our new home and the fact that Todd always stands behind the quality of his work. **★★★★★ — Natalia Sander, July 2017** > Wow- where do I start. Working with Todd Simning and Kroiss Development was First Class from the start. All of our custom "home" wishes were incorporated into the plan as well as many amazing touches to bring the house to the next level. Right from the start of our build process was completely transparent. No hidden fees and complete honesty with the entire build process. Todd was completely hands on with every aspect of the build. He listened and provided feedback in order to direct us to make the best choice. I love our Kroiss Custom Home and can't wait to build another Kroiss home in the future. Todd and Kroiss Development are truly 1st Class in Custom Home! **★★★★★ — Will Holmes, June 2016** > We purchased a Kroiss Development home in Lowry Hill in April of 2016. We were very pleased with the quality of work and attention to detail. Everything from finished to appliances to infrastructure is top quality and well thought out. We also received feedback that the Kroiss team also worked very hard in the project to be a good member of the neighborhood during the project. Also very impressed with all Kroiss Development subcontractors. **★★★★★ — kitteme, Jan. 2016** > Kroiss Development, Inc. build our new house 2+ years ago. Several other Kroiss houses were being built in the neighborhood at the same time, which caused confusion at times, but Kroiss, specifically Todd Simning, was quick to address any issue identified within a very short timeframe. He was always responsive and remedied the situation immediately. They built a well made house and over two years later are still responsive to any questions or needs we have. I would recommend Kroiss to others for sure. Thank you Kroiss. ## Selected projects - [Architectural Custom Home in St. Paul](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/architectural-custom-home-in-st-paul-pj-vj~784844) - Location: Saint Paul, MN - Photos: 27 - [Lake Calhoun House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lake-calhoun-house-pj-vj~784937) - Location: Minneapolis, MN - Photos: 24 - [Custom Pool House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/custom-pool-house-pj-vj~784869) - Location: Chanhassen, MN - Photos: 24 - [Classic Tudor](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/classic-tudor-pj-vj~2037758) - Location: Saint Paul, MN - Photos: 25 - [Historic Lowry Hill](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/historic-lowry-hill-pj-vj~1558767) - Location: Minneapolis, MN - Photos: 32 - [Traditional Crocus Hill Custom Design](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/traditional-crocus-hill-custom-design-pj-vj~1202442) - Location: Saint Paul, MN - Photos: 18 - [Custom Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/custom-home-pj-vj~630970) - Location: Chanhassen, MN - Photos: 13 - [Cottage Style House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/cottage-style-house-pj-vj~796018) - Location: Chanhassen, MN - Photos: 28 - [Drew Ave Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/drew-ave-home-pj-vj~784923) - Location: Minneapolis, MN - Photos: 24 - [Rustic Lodge Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/rustic-lodge-home-pj-vj~630960) - Location: Chanhassen, MN - Photos: 21 - [Crocus Hill Farm House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/crocus-hill-farm-house-pj-vj~1131251) - Location: Saint Paul, MN - Photos: 23 - [Pool House in the Woods](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/pool-house-in-the-woods-pj-vj~785018) - Location: Chanhassen, MN - Photos: 41 - [Minneapolis Chowen Custom Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/minneapolis-chowen-custom-home-pj-vj~784951) - Location: Minneapolis, MN - Photos: 15 - [Drew Ave Custom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/drew-ave-custom-pj-vj~784971) - Location: Minneapolis, MN - Photos: 13 - [Contemporary Flair](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/contemporary-flair-pj-vj~1345888) - Location: Chanhassen, MN - Photos: 25 - [Lake Minnewashta House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lake-minnewashta-house-pj-vj~855468) - Location: Chanhassen, MN - Photos: 28 - [Stylish Formal Living](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/stylish-formal-living-pj-vj~784997) - Location: Chanhassen, MN - Photos: 14 - [Rustic Rambler](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/rustic-rambler-pj-vj~784903) - Location: Chanhassen, MN - Photos: 14 - [Modern Colonial Four-Square](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-colonial-four-square-pj-vj~726620) - Location: Saint Paul, MN - Photos: 15 - Description: Located in the historic Crocus Hill area of St. Paul, this new clean lined Colonial Four-Square was designed for a young family who appreciates the classic American architecture that encompasses the surrounding neighborhood, but craved the conveniences of modern construction.

A: 10' **Q: Love the fireplace mantle!** *(in Photo Questions)* Where can I purchase the fireplace mantle? A: It isn't necessarily a stock item as we found the beams and mantle piece out of old barn wood. Best way to try to find something similar is to look for someone near you that may stock old reclaim wood. **Q: how do you maintain the loose rocks beneath the vanity?** *(in Photo Questions)* how do you maintain the loose rocks beneath the vanity? A: There's nothing to maintain - they just sit there. **Q: Gable trim boards - beautiful design** *(in Photo Questions)* Beautiful gable trim with all those lines. What gable trim boards did you use to achieve that look so it stands out and isn't just a plane single or double board rake? A: I don't remember the exact product we used but I believe it was a fyphon cove molding of some sort. The cove does a lot to enhance the beauty and gives some relief. **Q: The backsplash looks great. Can you share the color of the grout?** *(in Photo Questions)* I originally saw the photo in a local MN home magazine. In the magazine, the grout color looks more golden and seems to compliment the brass fixtures. We are trying to find a grout to mimic that affect, but having difficulty. A: I do not know the color of grout but I can tell you that there is no way it had a golden color - it blended into the tile more so and left the pattern of tile to be the focal point. Hope that helps. **Q: what is the main exterior paint color?** *(in Photo Questions)* Is it the same as white dove trim? Thanks! A: Yes. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
