Our Home Renovations
As your general contractor, we handle every part of your renovation under one roof. That means one accountable partner from the first design conversation to the final walkthrough, with no juggling multiple crews or contractors. Here’s what we offer.
1. Kitchen Renovation
The kitchen is the heart of your home, and a smart renovation makes daily life better. We update kitchens of every size, from simple refreshes to full redesigns. New custom cabinets, countertops, lighting, layouts, and appliances come together into a space that fits how you cook, gather, and live.
We start by understanding how you actually use your kitchen, then design around that. The result is a beautiful, functional room built to last for years.
2. Bathroom Remodel
A bathroom remodel adds comfort, style, and real value to your home. Whether you want a quick update or a complete overhaul, we handle it all: custom vanities, tile, showers, tubs, fixtures, and lighting.
We focus on smart layouts and moisture-resistant materials that stand up over time. From a busy family bathroom to a relaxing primary suite, we build a space that fits your needs.
3. Additions & Remodeling Overview
Sometimes your home just needs more room. A well-designed addition gives you the extra space you need without the hassle of moving. We design and build additions that blend seamlessly with your existing home, from a bigger kitchen to a new bedroom, home office, or family room.
We handle the full scope, including design, permits, structure, and finishes. The goal is space that feels like it was always part of your home.
4. Interior Home Improvement Services
Beyond kitchens and baths, we tackle interior projects of all kinds. Think flooring, trim work, built-ins, custom carpentry, and full interior refreshes that update your home’s look and feel.
Whatever the project, we bring the same precision and pride to the details. Small changes often make the biggest difference in how your home lives day to day.
5. Exterior Renovations (Roofing, Siding, Windows & Doors)
Your home’s exterior takes the full brunt of Northern Minnesota weather, so it deserves durable, quality work. We handle the exterior projects that protect and beautify your home.
- Roofing: We install and replace roofs built for heavy snow, ice, and wind, using trusted Owens Corning products known for durability and lasting protection.
- Siding: We install climate-appropriate options including vinyl, steel, and engineered wood, all built to resist freeze-thaw cycles and lake-driven moisture.
- Windows & Doors: We install high-efficiency Marvin Windows that reduce drafts, hold steady indoor temperatures, and cut energy loss year-round.
Together, these upgrades boost curb appeal, comfort, and energy efficiency while sealing your home against the elements.
The Home Renovation Process
A great renovation runs on a clear, proven process. Here’s how we take your project from idea to finished space:
- Free consultation. We meet to hear your ideas, understand your goals, and look at your space. No pressure, just honest conversation.
- Design and planning. We shape your vision into a realistic plan, helping you choose materials, layouts, and features that fit your style and budget.
- Detailed estimate. You get a clear, itemized quote with no surprises, so you know exactly what to expect.
- Permits and prep. We handle permits and code requirements, then prepare your home and protect your space before work begins.
- Skilled construction. Our experienced crews complete the work with precision, keeping a clean job site and communicating along the way.
- Final walkthrough. We review every detail with you to confirm the work meets our high standards and your expectations.
In short: You get one organized, accountable process from start to finish, with clear communication at every step.
Before & After Remodeling Case Studies
Nothing shows the value of a renovation like real transformation. Here are a few illustrative examples of the kind of work we do.
The cramped kitchen that opened up
A Duluth family felt boxed in by a closed-off kitchen with dated cabinets and poor lighting. We removed a non-load-bearing wall, added custom cabinetry and a large island, and brightened the space with new lighting. The result was an open, welcoming kitchen that became the true center of their home.
The tired bathroom turned into a spa retreat.
A homeowner in Two Harbors wanted their outdated bathroom to feel like a getaway. We reworked the layout, installed a walk-in tile shower, added a double vanity, and chose warm, moisture-resistant finishes. The finished space now feels like a private, everyday escape.
The exterior that got a fresh start
A Superior home was losing heat through old windows and aging siding. We installed new steel siding, energy-efficient Marvin Windows, and a durable Owens Corning roof. Beyond the striking new curb appeal, the homeowners saw a noticeably more comfortable home and lower energy bills.
Each project started with a conversation and ended with a home the owners love. Yours can too.
Quality Materials Built for the Region’s Climate
Northern Minnesota and Wisconsin weather is relentless. Temperature swings, heavy snow, freeze-thaw cycles, and wind-driven rain off Lake Superior test every part of your home. That’s exactly why we choose high-performance, climate-appropriate materials built to hold up.
We install products from trusted manufacturers, including:
- Owens Corning roofing, engineered to handle heavy snow, ice, and wind
- Trex decking, which resists rot, fading, and moisture damage with almost no upkeep
- Marvin Windows, built for energy efficiency and lasting performance in tough climates
Paired with expert installation, these materials form a home that stays beautiful, comfortable, and protected season after season, with less maintenance and fewer worries for you.

That experience means smarter recommendations and fewer surprises for you. We know our local homes, our local weather, and how to deliver results that hold up season after season.
3. Our Warranties (10-Year Labor Warranty & Manufacturer Warranties)
We stand firmly behind our work. Every project comes with Perrault’s 10-Year Labor Warranty on our workmanship, giving you lasting confidence in the quality of our craft.
On top of that, we install products from trusted manufacturers that carry their own robust product warranties. Together, these warranties protect both the work and the materials, giving you comprehensive peace of mind for years to come.
How to Find the Best Home Renovation Contractor for Your Project
Choosing the right contractor protects your home and your investment. Keep these key steps in mind as you decide:
- Verify licensing and insurance. Confirm your contractor is properly licensed and carries both general liability and workers’ compensation coverage.
- Look for local experience. A contractor who knows Northern Minnesota’s climate builds for the conditions your home actually faces.
- Check their track record. Ask about past projects, read reviews, and look for a reputation built over years, not months.
- Ask about warranties. Strong labor and manufacturer warranties show a contractor stands behind their work.
- Expect clear communication. The best contractors answer your questions, set realistic timelines, and provide honest, itemized estimates.
- Choose one accountable partner. A full-service general contractor coordinates the whole project, so you’re not managing multiple crews.
In short: Hire local, hire licensed, and hire a team with a proven history and warranties to back it up. That’s exactly what we bring to every project.
