Twin Cities Custom Homes and Renovations

Twin Cities custom homes and remodels, built by the same family since 1974.

We're Kuechle Construction, a family-run builder working across Minneapolis and the west metro. Custom homes, whole-home renovations, additions, kitchens, baths, and finished basements, all run by the same team start to finish.

We'll tell you early if we're not the right fit.

Why planning matters

Most remodel problems show up before a single wall comes down.

Loose scope, shifting expectations, thin communication: that's where projects go sideways. If you're looking for a Minneapolis remodeling contractor or a Twin Cities custom home builder, we'll help you see what you're actually signing up for before it gets expensive to find out.

What the first call feels like

The first call should leave you clearer, not pitched.

We use it to sort fit, timing, budget range, location, and what a reasonable next step looks like. No sales routine. Just an honest read on whether the project's taking the shape you want.

Why people keep coming back

Three reasons homeowners hire us twice.

A lot of our work comes from referrals and repeat clients. When we ask what made them call back, the answers tend to sound like this.

Family-run

A family business, not a franchise crew.

Same family since 1974. You won't get passed between departments or handed off to whoever's free that week. You'll work with people who know what's on the schedule and care how it turns out.

Local

We work where we live.

We're based in Plymouth and most of our projects sit within thirty minutes of the office: Minneapolis, Edina, Minnetonka, Wayzata, and across the west metro. That's how we can show up when something needs a real decision in the room.

Built to last

Homes we'd be comfortable signing twice.

Referral work tends to come back five and ten years later, another project, the neighbor, a relative. That only happens if the first one still feels right. It's why we pick materials, proportions, and details that age calmly.

Service areas

Where we work across Minneapolis and the west metro.

We work in Minneapolis, the west metro suburbs, and nearby Twin Cities neighborhoods. Geography isn't the whole filter, but it helps: being close means we can show up when a decision needs to happen in person.

Minneapolis

Older Minneapolis homes with good bones.

Our best Minneapolis work happens on character houses, tighter city lots, and renovations where the existing structure has more to say than a new build would.

Edina

Edina remodels where the finish work has to be right.

Edina homeowners tend to notice detail. We bring the same eye to tile lines, trim returns, and cabinetry reveals that they do.

Explore Edina projects
Minnetonka

Additions and main-floor rework for growing families.

Most of our Minnetonka work is family-driven: adding a primary suite, opening up the main level, or making the lower level somewhere everyone actually wants to be.

Wayzata

Quiet, careful work for Wayzata and the lakeshore.

Lakeshore homes usually call for something more measured than trendy. We work on refined remodels and additions that look like they belonged there all along.

Plymouth

Our hometown.

The office has been in Plymouth for decades. Kitchens, basements, additions, and phased whole-home work all land close to home, and we treat them that way.

Eden Prairie

Whole-house thinking for larger Eden Prairie homes.

On bigger footprints the real opportunity is rarely a fresh finish. It's rethinking how the rooms work together so the house earns its size.

Look around first

Get a feel for how we work before you reach out.

Start on the service page that fits your project, then skim a project story or two. Our Process page lays out what happens after the first call. We'd rather you have a feel for how we work before anyone fills out a form.

When you're ready

Ready to talk it through?

Once a project starts to take shape, it helps to just have the conversation. Timing, budget range, what's realistic on your house. You'll get a straight read on fit before it becomes a bigger commitment.

See the process, read project stories, or request a consultation.

Reviews

What homeowners say after the work is done.

We think the most useful reviews are the ones written after the dust has settled. Here are a few.

"Communication was excellent and the team kept the work area very clean throughout the project."

"Great work, professional, high quality, reasonably priced, and easy to work with."

Allen Kuperman, M.D. Whole-home renovation, Plymouth

"Great process and quality work. Every milestone was communicated clearly and the final result exceeded our expectations."
