About us

Fresh Start Builders is a fifth-generation, family-owned remodeling company specializing in kitchen and bath remodels, as well as window replacement and general remodeling services. Nothing is more important to us than the satisfaction of our clients, most of whom bring us back for multiple remodeling projects. FSB is a 2011 winner of the Achievement in Consumer Excellence (ACE) award from the National Association of the Remodeling Industry. We are members of the National Kitchen and Bath Association (NKBA) and the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI) and accredited members of the Better Business Bureau (BBB). Additionally, we are EPA certified for lead remodeling. FSB partners with a regular group of certified and licensed subcontractors for all trades, subs who have the same high standards for quality and jobsite cleanliness that we do. Our subcontractors, like us, carry liability and work comp insurance. The remodeling process starts with a visit from FSB owners Todd Hansen and Eric Hansen, who is a certified kitchen & bath designer through NKBA. We discuss your ideas and make suggestions, take measurements and photographs, and respond within several days with a preliminary price range for the project you're considering. Further refinements to the project scope and detailing are accompanied by more exact pricing, and a detailed contract precedes the start of any work. On the project, Todd and Eric will be managing the permit, materials and subcontractors, as well as performing site protection, demolition, framing and finish carpentry. We are meticulous about daily and final site cleanup and follow up to make sure that your satisfaction is ongoing. Please visit the Fresh Start Builders website at freshstartmn.com.

Todd and Eric were courteous and professional from start to finish on this project. We were first time home owners, and they worked with us on every aspect of the project, keeping us within a limited budget, and getting us exactly the results we were looking for. They let us have as much control over the design/products as we wanted. We benefited greatly from their knowledge and expertise and had a beautiful finished product.
Description of Work: We hired this company to do a complete bathroom remodel in a 95+ year old home.

It was important to us to ensure the design was in keeping with the architecture of the home, and to ensure that the end product met the functional needs we had outlined. From the very first meeting Todd and Eric partnered with us, from conception to project finish, to ensure the project was meeting our expectations. This team is prompt, courteous, reliable, and enjoyable to work with. We are so pleased with the superior craftsmanship and can truly say the end product exceeded our expectations. We have already reached out to this team to start discussing additional needs we have for our home!
Description of Work: We are delighted with our experience with Fresh Start Builders. We hired this team to do a home office remodel, which included a series of french doors, transom windows, and intricate woodworking.
