Custom Remodeling in Kingfield
Kingfield does not get as much attention as the lake neighborhoods to the west, but the homeowners here know exactly what they have. Solid 1920s bungalows on affordable lots, close to Nicollet Avenue and the restaurants and shops that have made this corridor one of the most walkable stretches in Minneapolis. People buy in Kingfield because the value is real — and then they put that value back in through kitchens, bathrooms, and attics that bring the house up to what the neighborhood has become. Knutson has been part of that process here since 1983.

Our Edge
More Care Less Stress
We help make dream homes
Most homeowners compare three or four remodeling firms before choosing one. The structural differences between firms are not always obvious in a sales meeting, but they show up in the schedule, the budget, and the day-to-day experience of the project. Here is how Knutson compares to a typical contractor on the points that matter most.

Yes — and the return is strong because the neighborhood has appreciated consistently. The original kitchens in these homes are small and closed off. Opening the layout and updating the finishes transforms how the whole main level feels.
-
A basic attic finish with acceptable headroom runs $65,000 to $120,000. If a dormer is needed to gain headroom or a legal bedroom window, add $40,000 to $80,000 on top. We assess the attic at the first visit and tell you what is realistic.
-
In most Kingfield bungalows yes — as long as the existing plumbing stack can be extended and a drain path exists. We plan the bathroom location around the stack to keep plumbing costs reasonable.
-
Always. We come to your home, walk through the space, and give you a realistic budget range at no charge.
