Bluestem Remodeling are great! After seeing the work they did to a friends kitchen in Maple Grove, we'll be using them to update our basement.

We hired Bluestem Remodeling to renovate our entire two bedroom condominium in the lakes area. We were just going to do some pieces of it and Timothy suggested it would be more efficient and less costly to do everything all at once. We are so glad that we took his advice. The whole team was professional and responsive and a lot of fun to work with. The project was done in budget with good communication and excellent problem-solving when needed. The craftsmanship was excellent. Their design ideas added so much more to our home. This was so different from other remodeling experiences. We love the outcome, my partner calling it luxurious. It was finished right before the pandemic started and we were so glad to be so comfortable in our home this past year. Such nice people, we even missed them when they were gone!Service: Remodeling

We had an excellent working relationship with Bluestem and its entire team. They were responsive to all our inquiries and did an a great job in follow up. Their co-construct site made it easy to communicate daily which was very helpful as the work was done during COVID. Without hesitation, we have recommended Bluestem to other homeowners in our condo building.Service: Remodeling

3 star for standard consult meeting; nothing surprising or off putting. This was before covid. Time was scheduled w owner to discuss a kitchen remodel. The initial call is more a meet and greet than much else. Owner was pleasant and provided a general overview of the services of the company. Conversation did end quickly once I shared my budget which didn't meet the $50k minimum the company has for fully managing a kitchen remodel. Owner did offer to have their cabinet sales contact me if I wanted to use their products. Overall experience was fine; their portfolio looks nice. Those who can meet the budget minimum should stop and talk to this team; those who can't or don't want to should pursue other options.

We used Bluestem Construction design and build services to remodel our 1950 ranch house in Minneapolis. Our goal was to make this home the place where we could age in place. To do that, we wanted to get laundry on the main floor (out of the basement) and to remodel the dysfunctional kitchen. We were impressed with the way Bluestem worked with us to realize our goals, going through an extensive design process to arrive at a set of layout options. We decided to not increase the footprint and the clever work by the design team resulted in meeting our goals and not giving up a space for short-term guests.Once construction started, we grew even more impressed. The minimal amount of demolition that was needed was accomplished with no impact on the rest of the house. I continued to live in the house while work was going on (using the finished basement space for the later stages of the project) and was not inconvenienced in the least. I marveled at watching the construction team sweating over sixteenths of inches when installing cabinets and putting in extra effort to ensure things were level and plumb. That dedication to precision is evident in all the work they did for us.Communication is the Bluestem strong suit. Every day I received an email from the construction lead letting me know what was scheduled for the next day as well as what was accomplished on the day. In addition, working with Tamatha on finding and acquiring the fixtures, hardware, and other elements needed to complete the project was highlighted by communication. We made selections, she cataloged them for our confirmation, and after we confirmed, purchases were made.Overall, the project organization and communication made the project stress-free for us. We always knew what was going on and when things would be happening. I've heard horror stories from friends about contractors that disappear for weeks at a time, or the schedule being delayed due to a subcontractor being booked for other work. None of that kind of thing happened for us. The major portions of the project took about three months to complete and the projected finish date slipped by only about one week over that time. (Finishing touches took a bit longer, but that was largely due to some items we selected being back-ordered and out of Bluestem's control.)We have every intention of working with Bluestem again should we need additional work done.Service: Remodeling

Bluestem was wonderful. Super conscientious about respecting our home and our privacy. They cleaned up really well after each day’s work and they stuck closely to their timeline. There were no delays at all! They were finished with our project within 3 days of their original finish date. Amazing. They have also been very responsive post project as well. The couple of times we have had to call them for minor fixes they have been very prompt on getting the work done.By the way, we are now repeat customers as we’ve just signed up for another project. Looking forward to working with the team again!Service: Remodeling

Bluestem remodeled our kitchen and bathroom. They were very well organized and had website portal that kept us up to date throughout the entire project. The planning process went smoothly with the help of their project manager and product specialists. The construction team was excellent as well. Our experience working Bluestem was great and we are very happy with our remodeled kitchen and bathroom.
