After remodeling Twin Cities homes for more than 25 years, we’ve heard plenty of variations on them. And we’ve learned that the best solution isn’t always the most obvious one. Here are four kitchen scenarios we hear again and again, along with real McDonald Remodeling projects that show what’s possible.

A 100+ year-old St. Paul home, thoughtfully reworked for modern living. This kitchen and main floor remodel preserves historic character while opening up the layout for better flow, function, and connection. See the full before and after transformation.

Can you update a golden oak home without starting over? See how this Lakeville main floor and bathroom remodel blends existing woodwork with fresh design for a brighter, more functional main floor.

See the before and after of this Bloomington MN main floor remodel and home addition. A dated 1940s layout was transformed with a rebuilt family room, custom kitchen, and expansive windows overlooking the Minnesota River Valley.

It’s always a joy to bring new life to a classic home. As a young family, these homeowners are passionate cooks with an active lifestyle. They wanted their kitchen to be more functional and hard-working, with improved storage and prep space.

Today we are thrilled to share this gorgeous traditional library remodel! These Apple Valley homeowners were ready to transform their room into a warm, welcoming, family-friendly, multipurpose space.
