Our Condo Remodeling Process

Condo remodeling and renovation opens up a world of possibilities. Our collaborative design-build process ensures your vision becomes a reality.

Minneapolis & St. Paul condo renovations require a different approach from standard house remodels. This is due to strict association regulations, limited building access, and specific work-hour restrictions. These factors can make the process seem complex. But don’t worry! At Bluestem Remodeling, we’re experienced in navigating these additional remodeling challenges. We work with you and your building association to ease this process, meet all of your building’s requirements, and transform your new spaces with your ideal features, style, and functionality.

A dedicated design professional will guide you through creative design options, layout considerations, and budget details. Our collaborative approach ensures your vision takes center stage.

We go beyond basic remodels, crafting spaces that are:

    • Customized and Functional – Streamlined modern condo layouts and custom-built storage solutions can create a condo that serves your modern needs. Picture a kitchen designed for culinary adventures or a bathroom that’s your personal oasis. Whatever function or features you’re lacking, we can bring them to your space while creating an integrated look you’ll love.
    • Incredibly Valuable – A strategic renovation can significantly boost your condo’s market value, making it a smart investment for the future.
    •  Uniquely Yours – Our collaborative design-build process ensures your vision is front and center. We listen attentively to your needs, then infuse them with expert recommendations to create a space that reflects your personality.

Condo Remodeling FAQs

  • COST & BUDGETING

    HOW MUCH DOES A CONDO REMODEL TYPICALLY COST?

    During our initial conversations we will talk with you about the scale of your condo remodeling project and how it compares to other, similar projects.

    Then, in our detailed planning process, you will receive budgets to accompany preliminary design options.

    Finally, you will receive a bid-priced contract defining exactly what your final design will cost. We know you need good information to make good decisions, and cost is an important factor of those decisions.

    WILL THE COST OF MY CONDO PROJECT CHANGE?

    Bluestem always provides bid-price guarantees. Your bid-priced construction contract is accompanied by a detailed scope of work and a construction plan set. This contract is our commitment to you to complete the project at the price quoted.

    The cost only changes for one of the following two reasons: You add something to the scope of the project, or there is a hidden or unforeseen condition (such as rotted walls) not knowable during a typical inspection. Your online portal tracks all of the details so there is never a nasty surprise about costs or payments. You stay in control.

  • Design

    WHAT KIND OF CONDO RENOVATION IDEAS CAN YOU HELP ME WITH?

    Our design team will work with you to find a style that meets your aesthetic and solutions to meet your needs, whether it be maximizing your condo’s kitchen design and floor plan layout or modernizing your interior design to something that reflects your personal taste or lifestyle. 

    Be it a complete redesign of your entire space or just remodeling a few areas, we will be work with you and your condo association to ensure your new design meets both your needs and the building’s regulations.

  • CONSTRUCTION

    WHAT CAN I EXPECT REGARDING THE PROJECT SCHEDULE?

    Our production team is committed to driving your condo remodeling project forward in the most efficient way possible, but we never want to risk quality by rushing things. The detailed planning that takes place before construction even begins is one way that we can assure the building process goes smoothly and according to schedule. Between the construction contract and the beginning of construction activities (the pre-construction phase), we will concentrate on helping you make final decisions.

    We will then provide a schedule for you in your online portal, where you will always be able to monitor progress and will receive daily updates. You can expect that your condo project will be finished according to the schedule and that you will always know what’s happening.

  • CONDO REMODELING PROCESS

    WHAT MAKES CONDO REMODELING DIFFERENT FROM A TYPICAL HOME RENOVATION?

    Unlike a standalone house, condos have shared spaces and individual building guidelines. Our Minneapolis & St. Paul experts have experience in navigating the condo remodeling process, which involves condo association regulations, building access limitations, and work hour restrictions, making it a bit more of challenging than a house remodeling process.

  • THE REMODELING INDUSTRY

    WHAT DOES THE ‘CONTRACTOR OF THE YEAR’ AWARD SIGNIFY?

    Each year NARI members are encouraged to submit their work to be judged in several categories. The judging is done by remodeling professionals from another state and is anonymous. The winning projects are chosen on the criteria of: Demonstrating craftsmanship, solving technical problems and meeting the owner’s goals and needs. Bluestem has won Contractor of the Year (CotY) Awards in 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021, 2022, 2023, including National CotY Awards in 2016, 2019 and 2020.

     

    WHAT IS A ‘CERTIFIED REMODELER’?

    In order to delineate the very best remodeling contractors, NARI (National Association of the Remodeling industry) provides a certification process for those willing to work to a higher standard. Certified Remodelers undergo additional training, testing, background and reference checks and must renew the certification periodically. Hiring a NARI Certified Remodeler is your assurance that you are hiring an outstanding professional.
