When you're ready to transform your existing home, choosing the right partner can make the difference between a stressful experience and a rewarding investment. At Moderno, we bring the same project management excellence that has made us Prior Lake's premier custom home builder to every remodeling project—regardless of size or scope.

Why Moderno's Approach to Remodeling is Different

With over 800 custom homes built and three generations of construction expertise, we've learned that successful remodeling projects require more than just skilled trades—they require true project management. Unlike traditional contractors who may prioritize their own profit margins, our project management model puts your interests first.

The Moderno Advantage: True Project Management

Complete Transparency with Open-Book Pricing: We work on a management fee basis rather than marking up subcontractor costs, which means our success is directly tied to your satisfaction and budget goals. This approach typically saves clients 10-15% compared to traditional contractors while ensuring complete transparency throughout your project.

Competitive Bidding for Every Aspect: While general contractors often use predetermined subcontractor relationships, we competitively bid each aspect of your project to multiple qualified professionals. This ensures you get the right expertise for each specific element of your remodeling project, resulting in superior craftsmanship and fair pricing.

Your Advocates, Not Just Your Builders: Our project management approach means we work directly for you, not subcontractors. We function as your advocate, ensuring every decision serves your vision and budget—creating a true partnership approach to home transformation.

Comprehensive Remodeling Services

Whole Home Renovations

Transform your entire living space with comprehensive renovations that reflect your family's evolving needs. Our project management approach ensures seamless coordination between all trades, maintaining the quality and timeline your project deserves. From kitchen and bathroom overhauls to complete interior redesigns, we handle every detail with the same precision we bring to custom home construction.

Home Additions & Expansions

Growing family? Need more space? Our addition services seamlessly blend new construction with your existing home. Whether you're adding bedrooms, expanding living areas, or creating dedicated workspaces, we ensure architectural harmony and structural integrity throughout your expansion project.

As one of our recent clients shared: "We felt like every subcontractor that we had was handpicked, they all knew each other, they all worked well together, and they all were the good ones... we felt super confident that we were going to have really good bones in the house because the subcontractors that were chosen were chosen with care."

Auxiliary Structures & Outbuildings

Enhance your property with custom auxiliary structures designed to complement your lifestyle. From pool houses and RV sheds to workshop spaces and storage buildings, we create functional structures that match your home's aesthetic while serving your specific needs. Our extensive experience with acreage development ensures proper permitting and compliance with all regulations.

Luxury Upgrades & Specialty Projects

Elevate your home with high-end finishes, custom millwork, and specialty features. Our relationships with premium suppliers and skilled craftsmen enable us to deliver luxury upgrades that increase both your home's value and your daily enjoyment.

The Benefits of Choosing Moderno for Your Remodeling Project

Family-Focused Values

We take time to understand your family's needs and lifestyle to create spaces that truly complement how you live. Our family-owned business approach means we treat your home with the same care we'd give our own.

As another satisfied client noted: "Having frequency of contact with them was weekly... We felt like we were calling him all the time because you had this standing weekly thing with Jake. He knew us well enough to know that that would make us feel more comfortable, and that was awesome."
