Minnetonka, MN Remodeling & Build + Design Grizzly Construction

You have a vision for your Minnetonka home. We are the local build + design experts with a clear plan to make it a reality, without the stress.

Does this sound like your reality? You love living in Minnetonka, the amazing schools, the beautiful outdoor landscaping, trails the sense of community and of course Lake Minnetonka. But your house? It feels like it’s stuck in a different decade.

Perhaps you’re in a classic rambler in Groveland or Spring Hill, and the choppy, closed-off kitchen makes family gatherings feel cramped. Maybe you own a beautiful two-story in Sherwood Forest, but the master bathroom is frustratingly small and outdated. Do you look at your basement in your Glen Lake home and see not a welcoming family room, but a cold, concrete space of wasted potential?

You dream of a home that truly fits your Minnetonka lifestyle. A home with an open-concept kitchen perfect for hosting after a day on the lake. A spacious home addition for your growing family. A beautiful, low-maintenance deck to enjoy those perfect Minnesota summer evenings, or a cozy, finished basement to escape to during a winter storm.

But the path from dream to reality seems overwhelming. You worry about finding a reliable contractor who understands Minnetonka’s building codes and community standards. You’ve heard the horror stories of projects that go over budget and contractors who don’t communicate, leaving homeowners stressed and disappointed.

The fear of making a costly mistake can be paralyzing, leaving you stuck in a home that doesn’t work for you, right here in the community you love.

Stop Feeling Stuck. It’s Time to Be the Hero of your Home

Here’s the truth: The problem isn’t your vision. The problem is finding a trustworthy local guide with a proven plan. At Grizzly Construction, we believe you, the Minnetonka homeowner, are the hero. You know what you want. Our role is to come alongside you with the local expertise to make it happen.

We are Minnetonka builders. Our team of designers and craftspeople has helped hundreds of your neighbors across the city from the historic homes in Minnetonka Mills to the estates in Tonkawood or Lake Minnetonka transform their houses into dream homes. We’ve built our entire business around eliminating the anxiety from residential construction by providing a white collar mindset to a blue collar world.

We solve the real problems Minnetonka homeowners face:

  • The Philosophical Problem: Your home should be your sanctuary, but right now, its outdated layout and style cause daily frustration.
  • The Internal Problem: You feel anxious and overwhelmed, worried about the cost, the timeline, and finding a contractor who truly understands the Minnetonka community.
  • The External Problem: You’re living with a cramped kitchen, an inefficient bathroom, a deteriorating exterior, or you’ve simply outgrown your home’s current footprint.
  • The Space Problem: As your family has grown, you’ve outgrown your house. We specialize in home additions, and second-story additions are the ideal solution when your property has limited space to expand without increasing your home’s footprint. Add significant living space and increase your home’s value by building up.

You don’t have to live with these problems. There is a clear path forward.

Imagine a Life in your Minnetonka Home You Truly Love

Picture this a few months from now.

You’re hosting friends in your stunning new kitchen in Glen Lake. Guests gather around the large island as you prepare a meal in a space that’s as beautiful as it is efficient. Sunlight streams through new, energy-efficient windows, illuminating a room that feels truly like the heart of your home.

Downstairs, the once-cluttered basement in your Groveland home is now the family’s favorite spot—a bright, welcoming space for movie nights and kids’ playdates. Your master bathroom in Sherwood Forest has been transformed into a serene oasis, your personal spa for unwinding after a long day.

Outside your Tonkawood home, the curb appeal is breathtaking. The new James Hardie® siding gives it a fresh, modern look while protecting it from Minnesota’s freeze-thaw cycles. You feel a deep sense of pride. You didn’t just survive a renovation; you partnered with a local expert and created a home that perfectly reflects your family’s lifestyle.

Picture yourself entertaining friends and family on a perfect summer night, enjoying your amazing Trex deck as it overlooks Lake Minnetonka. Your stunning hardscape surrounds you, complete with a pool, a stone patio, and beautiful landscaping framed by a boulder retaining wall.

This is not a fantasy. This is the success that awaits you when you have the right local guide.
