Inver Grove Heights Remodeling Contractor

Inver Grove Heights stretches along the Mississippi River from South St. Paul to Rosemount, and it became a city in 1965, when the village of Inver Grove and Inver Grove Township combined. Its housing came in waves: ramblers and split-levels in the 1950s and '60s, split-levels and two-stories in the '70s and '80s, and newer subdivisions through the 1990s and 2000s. The settings vary just as much, from river bluffs to rolling hills and larger wooded lots.

Each era brings its own projects. In the older ramblers and split-levels, the kitchen is usually boxed in, there is one small main bath, and the basement needs updating or finishing. In the '70s and '80s homes, the kitchen layout and a dated primary bath are the usual targets. The newer houses tend to have open plans but builder-grade finishes, and many have a lower level waiting to become a family room, bedroom or bath.

Building permits here come from the City of Inver Grove Heights. We pull the permits and schedule the inspections. Every plan meets the Minnesota State Building Code. The city covers a lot of ground, and its hilly terrain gives many homes a walkout or lookout lower level. That helps with daylight in a finished basement, though any basement bedroom still needs a code-compliant egress window. Lots near the Mississippi bluffs can also carry extra setback rules, so we check them before planning an addition.

One design-build team keeps all of this in one place. We measure, design and commit to one written price before construction starts, then manage the trades, the schedule and the inspections through the final walkthrough. For an Inver Grove Heights homeowner comparing remodeling contractors, that means fewer handoffs and one person to call with questions. It also means the people who design your project are accountable for building it.
