Paul and his team were amazing to work with. Not only did he do an amazing job of working with my vague ideas to come up with a beautiful concept, but he managed the project excellently! He lined up all the trades wonderfully and was in constant contact. Updating me with changes, telling me what to expect with each phase of the work, and making great recommendations whenever I was overwhelmed with the choices. I'm beyond happy with the outcome, and it was worth every penny to get this amazing outcome and experience a true expert thriving in their element like he was.

Mantis Design + Build was a pleasure to work with. Paul Linnebach designed the perfect master bathroom for me! He listened to my needs and wants and masterfully executed them in to the perfect spa like retreat. Paul is creative and attentive to details. He keeps all the trades on time and the project started and finished when he said it would. I am fortunate to call Paul a friend after this process!

We were extremely happy with Mantis Design and love our remodeled kitchen. Paul was creative, original and had a great vision for our space. He was very flexible and open to working with us to merge his design with our taste, making it feel like a collaborative process. Paul was responsive and considerate, and ensured that the work was the highest quality and done to our satisfaction.

Paul made an impact right off the bat. An extremely kind man with easy going attitude, he instantly made me feel welcomed. While I didn’t know him personally; to Paul I wasn’t just another client, I was a friend who he cared about. It was clear he had my best interest at heart and wanted to do what was right for ME. Carefully guiding me through each step of the process, things flowed like a hot knife through butter. What with his professional and his unparalleled attention to detail, he made the project a breeze and I couldn’t be happier. I am so thankful to have linked up with Paul and his company. He has earned a strong relationship from me, and at the same time, I myself gained a fun and memorable experience I can look back and smile on. Thank you!!!

I was impressed with this company, from their knowledge of what it took to get the project done, excellent timing, professional work, and staying within budget – all while being incredibly kind throughout. I would highly recommend them.

Thank you for the nice review Ginnie! So grateful we could help you with your project. It was a true pleasure!

Leila Erlandson

I had the opportunity to collaborate with Mantis Design and Build to bring my vision of a cozy second floor bedroom, bathroom, and reading nook to life. Highlights of "The Reclaimed Sanctuary," which began as a complete roof tear-off, include restored barn wood throughout, acid-washed metal, skylights to bring the outdoors in and a french balcony. I appreciated Paul's steadfast attention-to-detail. The result...a beautiful space that's won countless awards.

Thank you Leila for your lovely review! Helping you bring your dream to life was a true pleasure for me. I loved creating together and building upon each others ideas to make your new addition an absolute winner!

Donna Duffy

We worked with Mantis Design 12 years ago when we first opened our business and had such a great experience that they were our first call when we decided to remodel some of our space. Once again, we are absolutely pleased with our experience. Paul's dedication to excellence, his creativity in the design process and his attention to detail were incredible. As is typical with any type of remodel, we did experience a few unexpected challenges - Paul was quick to find solutions that were respectful of our budget and he ensured that the job was completed on time so that we could re-open our business. Paul's communication is effective and thorough throughout the entire process from brainstorming to completion. We also enjoyed working with each of the vendors that completed the project for Mantis.

Shelly Itman

We hired Mantis to help us with our home remodeling project. Paul and his skilled team did an amazing job! The job site was kept orderly and the project flowed smoothly. They finished right on schedule and we even received an unexpected credit back for a detail that took less effort than they had originally expected. All in all we felt very cared for and couldn’t be happier with the experience and the end results. So glad we went with Mantis! Highly recommend giving them a call.

Basement remodel completed, just beautiful! Mantis Design completed the work on time as promised and within the budget. Mantis Design paid attention to the design details. They had to work around some challenging ducts, but made everything work.

Always a joy to hear that we have made another customer completely satisfied. Thank you Maria for your wonderful review!

Kevin Thompson

We worked with Paul from Mantis Design Build on a home restoration project, a turn-of-the-century Victorian farmhouse now in the middle of a neighborhood in Minneapolis. He had a great eye for detail and gave excellent advice on both how to do things right and how not to do them wrong! The project progressed smoothly with all the craftsmen used by Paul completing their portion of the work with skill. Give Paul a chance to look at your project! In the end, you’ll look back and say it was the best decision you could have made as you enjoy the space he created for you.

Thank you Kevin for this wonderful review. Working with you was so much fun and seeing how your farmhouse transformed into something so bright and delightful was an absolute pleasure.
