Step by Step

Our 6-Step Remodeling Process

Every project follows the same disciplined approach — because consistency is how we protect your timeline, your budget, and your peace of mind.

01

Initial Consultation

You tell us what you want. We help you get there.

We start with an in-home or virtual meeting to talk through your goals, challenges, budget, and timeline. No pressure, no obligation — just an honest conversation about what's possible and what it takes to get there.

02

Design & Planning

We help you make smart decisions — before any work begins.

Together we evaluate layout, lighting, storage, and usability. Depending on the project, this may include renderings, mood boards, and product samples — all guided by your lifestyle and budget, not upselling.

03

Transparent Quote & Agreement

Every cost, clearly outlined.

You receive a detailed line-item estimate covering labor, materials, and contingencies. No vague allowances, no surprise additions mid-project. We agree on scope before a single nail is pulled.

04

Permits, Scheduling & Pre-Construction

We handle the logistics, so you don't have to.

We pull permits, coordinate inspections, manage material delivery timelines, confirm your start date, and walk through a pre-construction checklist with you — so nothing catches anyone off guard.

05

Construction & Project Management

Your remodel, done right — cleanly and professionally.

Our crew arrives on time, protects your space, and keeps you updated at every stage. We follow a structured schedule and communicate proactively — you're never left wondering what's happening in your own home.

06

Final Walkthrough & Ongoing Support

We're not finished until you're thrilled.

We do a joint review of every detail. Any punch-list items are addressed promptly. You receive care instructions, warranty documentation, and direct access to our team long after the project wraps.

Our Clean Worksite Promise

We protect your floors, furniture, and driveway from day one. At the end of every workday, our crew cleans up and secures the site — because it's your home, not a construction zone.

They will do any size project from replacing a faucet to replacing a roof. Rick has been great to work with. Everyone he sends out is very professional and friendly. All projects have been done with quality workmanship, on time and reasonable cost.Some examples of work they have done for us:Repaired work from water leak to our finished basement - Rick came out and talked to insurance adjusterRoof replacedDeck support replacementNew tiled showerHouse painted with any rotten siding replacedWindows and large sliding doors replacedPlus many smaller jobsWe have been very pleased with all work!"

"We have used Honey Doers twice for small repairs. The most recent repair was for our deck railing. It was not a major repair but required the knowledge to get everything aligned and back into place. Honey Doers know exactly what was needed and got the job done quickly. We are vey happy with the job they did and plan on using them again when the need comes up."

Bathroom facet repairs, installation of a sliding garbage can, assembly for an outdoor propane heater as well as a few odds and ends. He completed all of the jobs well within the time estimate. He was professional, highly skilled and a strong communicator. I would highly recommend this service. Sue J. Edina, MN"

"I've used the services of Honey-Doers a few times over the past few years. Most recently to change out a garage window. They communicate every step of the way, which is often not the case. The work has always been done very well and in a professional manner. I highly recommend Honey-Doers."

— Gina F.

"Honey-Doers accomplished two projects in an office condo we recently purchased. The work was completed in a timely basis and the attention to detail was beyond what I have come to expect. When most contractors are in a hurry to get the job done and move on, their professional took his time to make sure everything was right and we were satisfied with the projects. A refreshing change. I would highly recommend Honey-Doers."

— Douglas A.

"I have used Honey Doers for multiple jobs at my house and another property I own. Honey Doers put a new roof on each of my properties, did custom shelving in my garage, repaired my kitchen after the dishwasher flooded and ruined my wood flooring, and helped build an accent wall at my store. Every employee that I have come in contact with is extremely professional, efficient, knowledgeable, and personable. I would highly recommend them for any project."

"Ryan of Honey-doers is amazing to work with. We hired Ryan because he was knowledgeable, informative and honest. The job was to help us find/fix a leak in one of our bathroom(s), and while working I hear him also 'fixing' our front door....because it was a pet-peeve. What a guy!! We are still currently working with honey-doers and Ryan, and I am excited to write a second, positive review once all work has been complete. you guys Rock~"

"We found Honey-Doers a wonderful company to work with when the need for miscellaneous home projects arose! Rick gave us helpful bid information and reasonable prices. Shelly was very reliable to follow up as additional time was needed due to HOA approval. Joe and Ryan did a fantastic job installing a railing at our outside entry, and also grab bars in our master shower. They offered excellent advice for installing both, and took great pride in the work they completed.If you are looking for a great company to complete miscellaneous home projects, you definitely want to reach out to Honey-Doers!"

"Honey Doers did a great job! I have never worked with a company that I felt valued my business as much as this one. Everyone was very nice, professional and followed through with each days schedule and everything to be done in a timely manner. My shower remodel from a plastic surround to a master bath luxury shower turned out amazing. I would highly recommend them. Before and after photos attached!"

"The picture itself may not tell the whole story so I would like to share my experience with Honey-Doers. From Ryan, Bob, Joe, Joey, Seth, Shelly, and Dan, unbelievable service!! In a world now where service has kind of gone downhill, this team blows it out of the water. Responsive, polite, prompt, patient, respectful. My wife and I experienced water damage which left us with a massive hole in both the wall and ceiling. Honey-Doers came out ahead of a snow storm and began the work on the exterior to ensure we were well insulated and safe before the storm hit. They were quick and masters at their craft. It looks fantastic and we are extremely grateful for the time and effort. Thank you for caring and being there for us during this frustrating time. I would recommend Honey-Doers to all. This is genuinely me saying if you are looking for the job to get done right, look to them and they will take care of you."

— Jack D.

"Honey-Doers, Ryan and his whole team, were professional and communicated throughout the whole process. We have an older 1927 home that has its quirks and they worked within our constraints to remodel our bathroom. It’s beautiful!"

— Jennifer C.

"I reached out to honey doers for range hood vent installation in my kitchen and I couldn't be much happier with my decision. While most of the contractors I contacted simply didn't wanna do the work or quoted higher, Honey doers agreed to do the job and gave me a much reasonable quote. They took care of the city permit and gave me 4-6 weeks wait time based on their availability but I had to wait for only 2-3 weeks. I actually ended up paying couple of hundred less than they originally quoted me so I really appreciate their honesty despite completing the project in a top notch form. I would definitely reach out to them for other home projects and I highly recommend others to give them a try."

— Nimesh C.

"Honey-Doer's did a fantastic job remodeling our kitchen/dining/entryway and repairing some roof damage we had. They fully gutted our kitchen and enlarged our space to improve our kitchen function and flow. We really appreciate Rick, Dan, Shelly, and the all the guys that worked on our project. They listened to our needs, concerns, ideas and made it work for us. They offered advice and went the extra mile to make this remodel complete. We love our new space and have had many compliments. We would highly recommend Honey-Doer's for both small and large remodel/repair jobs."

— Rosy E.

"Honey-Doers was a real pleasure to work with. Rick Berres is friendly and knowledgeable. His crew was efficient and professional. They used our original deck structure and refinished it with Timber Tech composite. It took 4.5 days to complete and the yard was left neat at the end of each day. We now have a beautiful, new deck!"
