6 vetted design-build firms serving Plymouth · how we vet & rank
Whole-home remodels rework most or all of a house in one coordinated project — often the right call for great-bones homes in established neighborhoods where moving would mean giving up the location. Design-build firms shine here, managing design, phasing, and budget as one contract.
Building in the west metro since 1981, Mike Bergeron’s firm handles custom new homes and major remodels from Plymouth across Maple Grove, Medina, Minnetonka, Wayzata, Edina, and Eden Prairie.
With more than 45 years in the trade, Dean Johnson Homes leads with remodeling — room and second-story additions, kitchens, baths, and basements — alongside new builds across the west metro.
Since 1978 L. Cramer has built and remodeled upper-market customs — averaging over $1M and deliberately capped at ten to twelve projects a year under third-generation carpenter Greg Jurvakainen.
A four-generation Minnetonka design-build firm with 70+ years of history, Boyer Building runs full-time carpentry crews and a licensed architect for custom homes and remodels across the west metro.
Founded in 1995 by K.C. Chermak — a past president of both BATC and the Builders Association of Minnesota — Pillar Homes designs and builds award-winning customs across the western suburbs from its Plymouth design center.
TC Homes has built custom homes and taken on major remodels across the west metro since 2008 — from Wayzata and the Lake Minnetonka communities to Plymouth and Maple Grove — on a consultative, cost-plus model with an in-house design manager.
Whole-home projects in the metro commonly range from $200,000 into seven figures for large historic renovations — scope drives everything.
Whole-home projects in the metro commonly range from $200,000 into seven figures for large historic renovations — scope drives everything.

Almost always, yes. Any project touching plumbing, electrical, structure, or egress requires permits and inspections in Plymouth. A legitimate contractor pulls the permits themselves — treat any suggestion to skip permitting as a red flag.
Whole-home projects vary widely — phased renovations run 4–12+ months. Your design-build contract should include a construction schedule with milestones.
