Inver Grove Heights, MN
Expert bathroom remodeling for Inver Grove Heights, MN homeowners — spa-inspired designs, smart storage, and family-ready layouts backed by 30 years of trusted craftsmanship.
Why Remodel
Inver Grove Heights features 1970s–2000s established neighborhoods alongside newer subdivisions — a varied housing market ideal for kitchen modernization, bathroom renovations, and basement finishing. Bathrooms in these homes often feature the original fiberglass tub surrounds, dated tile, poor lighting, and limited storage from when they were built. Inver Grove Heights homeowners remodel bathrooms to create a more comfortable daily experience, improve functionality for families, and boost resale appeal with modern, durable finishes.
Common challenges we solve:
Aging tile and worn fixtures, fiberglass tub surrounds, inadequate ventilation, poor storage, and cramped layouts are the most common bathroom challenges we address.
Our Work
We know Inver Grove Heights's neighborhoods — and we bring that local knowledge to every project.
The city's original farming area, settled by Irish immigrants along what's now Robert Trail, and still its most rural-scaled section — larger lots, older farmsteads converted to homes, and a meaningful share of properties still unsewered and running on individual septic systems.
An established residential neighborhood built out through the 1970s and 80s around Salem Hills Park and Elementary — ranch and rambler homes with the unfinished lower levels typical of that era, and the city's steadiest source of basement finishing calls.
A quieter, older section near Simley Island Park, close enough to the Mississippi River bluffs that a basement project here is worth checking against the more irregular bedrock that runs along the city's eastern edge.
A newer, more walkable subdivision of contemporary two-story homes, where remodeling requests skew toward layout and finish upgrades rather than the structural work older Inver Grove Heights stock often needs.
We pull the permits and coordinate the inspections. Here is what that involves in Inver Grove Heights.
Inver Grove Heights' City Inspection Department, at 8150 Barbara Avenue. Permit questions go to 651-450-2550 or permits@ighmn.gov. City phone numbers change from time to time — if this one doesn't connect, ighmn.gov/1244/Building-Permits-Inspections has the current one.
Applications go through the city's CityView Portal, with plan review turnaround set by project type — 3 business days when no plan review is required, 15 business days for a residential project that needs one, 20 for commercial. Electrical is inspected by the State rather than the city, and it runs first in the sequence: electrical rough-in, then a combined framing, insulation, mechanical, and plumbing rough-in, then electrical final, then building, mechanical, and plumbing finals.
A bathroom remodel that relocates fixtures needs a floor plan showing the location and dimensions of every tub, shower, and vanity as part of the permit submittal — Inver Grove Heights reviews fixture layout up front rather than at rough-in. Foam board insulation behind a tub or shower surround has to be covered with ½-inch gypsum board or another approved thermal barrier, and any enclosed space created under a stairway as part of a larger layout change needs the same ½-inch gypsum protection on its underside and sidewalls.
Inver Grove Heights sits directly above the Pine Bend Impact — a meteor strike the Minnesota Geological Survey identified in 2021, roughly 490 million years old and about 2.5 miles across, its crater buried under some 350 feet of rock and soil near the Mississippi River bluffs. Those bluffs mean shallower, more irregular bedrock along the city's eastern edge than the flatter former farmland to the west. A meaningful share of the city, Rich Valley especially, is still unsewered — homes run on individual septic systems, which the city's own permit process accounts for directly when a project adds a bedroom.
We make bathroom remodeling simple, efficient, and hassle-free.

"ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC! Dan is a master at coordinating so many details. He explained things to me in plain English and helped me navigate the nightmare of insurance claims when no one else would. Larry and Joe were super friendly and helpful. Everyone was prompt — when they said they were coming at a certain time, they showed up then. For my next project, I will go back to them and nobody else!"

"In a world where service has kind of gone downhill, this team blows it out of the water. We had water damage — a massive hole in both the wall and ceiling. Honey-Doers came out ahead of a snow storm and began exterior work to make sure we were insulated and safe before it hit. They were quick and masters at their craft. I would recommend Honey-Doers to all."
— Jack D.

"My home flooded from the upstairs through to the main level just after Thanksgiving — our baby was just 6 months old. I had never filed a claim before and had no idea what to do. From start to finish Dan and his team went above and beyond. I've never had a business treat me with such respect, patience and understanding. I couldn't be more happy with how it turned out."

As interior designers, it's very important to our design firm that we have reliable teams to work with on remodel projects — and Honey-Doers fits that mold."
— Amber G.

"My relationship with Honey-Doers started with replacing an entrance door. For even that isolated project I could tell they cared about quality workmanship. Their latest work involved replacing home windows and a storm door — they matched trim and wall colors, and replaced rotted materials uncovered during the project. I have no reservations recommending them for projects from simple to those that impact the worthiness and worth of one's home."
