From start to finish, Lake Country Builders handled our main floor remodel with professionalism and care. The team is comprised of talented and knowledgable professionals, who guided our vision into reality. Throughout the process, they (and their subcontractors) were always conscientious they were in our home and understood the stressors of living through the remodel. Communication, with the many moving parts, was clear and timely. They were effective problem solvers, creative thinkers and simply put, wonderful people to be around. The project ended ahead of the scheduled timeline and we were able to use our kitchen almost a month before planned. Impressive, to say the least. Lake Country Builders has our highest recommendation. It was an exceptional experience with an exceptional final result.

Mary Henschel

We worked with Lake Country Builders to do a major renovation on our home. They made some major architectural changes to our main level to make it open and bright. They also created a wine room out of a space that we could never quite figure out how to use. It is now a centerpiece to our home. Their craftsmanship was second to none. Everyone who worked on the project - plumbers, electricians, heating and cooling, flooring and interior design - were at the top of their professional game. We were thrilled with the outcome and enjoyed our working relationship with our team throughout the entire project. We would recommend Lake Country Builder to anyone doing a project small or large.

Listened and promptly communicated. Gave in depth consideration to our thoughts and needs. Consulted with whatever experts that might have the best answers. Never tried to provide less than the best workmanship. Kept being as economical as possible while maintaining quality.

This was my first time working with Lake Country Builders and I couldn't be happier. From planning through execution, they were professional, methodical, prompt, and the renovations look even better than I expected. I have already recommended them to family and friends.

We used Lake Country for two different remodels. Their craftsmanship is great, and they listened to us as costumers. During COVID-19, they were professional and kept the project to schedule. I would highly recommend them.

Lake Country Builders did a major addition to our house in the Linden Hills area of Minneapolis and has since handled many additional smaller projects for us over the years, including new windows, flooring and a small bath remodel. This company is solid, reliable, and trustworthy and their work is of the highest quality. From designing, to planning, to execution we loved working with Pete and Sue and their team. They were always responsive and helpful. They will continue to be our "go to" builders.

Walt Perala @ Pella Windows

True craftsmanship and professionals to work with! We recently supplied new Pella Reserve windows for one of their remodel projects for a home built in 1966. It was a challenging window replacement, however their carpentry team did a phenomenal job installing the new Pella windows, creating interior and exterior custom trim details to match with the historic look of the home. It's an honor to work with the entire team at Lake Country Builders!

As an independent architect I have been designing projects with Lake Country Builders for 8+ years. The quality, professionalism and craftsmanship they strive for is embedded in all their work. I am always confident that their team will complete each project to a high level of detail. We’ve had many happy clients in our collaboration! Highly recommended.

We have referred Lake Country Builders to many clients looking for a top-notch home remodeler. They offer creative designs, fair pricing, and extremely high quality work. The team at Lake Country Builders listens to the client and helps their vision come to life. We haven’t heard one complaint from any of our clients. Here is a snapshot of a current main floor remodel in Minnetonka, MN. Cannot wait to see the finished product! Our clients are very pleased.

We met with Lake Country to discuss a major addition and remodel to our lake home. We could honestly not be happier with both the process and the result. Everything was carefully planned and included in the budget from the very beginning, which allowed a very smooth and efficient project. The communication with Pete, Brian, our architect, Bruce and the entire crew was really outstanding. Questions were answered quickly, and some small problems dealt with very professionally. We are really proud of our "new" home! It looks great, is more functional than it has ever been, and the finish and quality is first rate. I am an oral and maxillofacial surgeon, a control "enthusiast" and very picky...not an easy client! Our expectations were exceeded in every way.

The Lake Country team transformed our third floor space into an amazing master suite. Working in tandem with our architect and designer, LCB delivered exactly what we envisioned with utmost professionalism, quality and attention to detail. Our project was completed on time with minimal disruption to us as we lived in our home during the remodeling process. We highly recommend Lake Country Builders.
