Carriage House Studio — Local services in Minnetrista

Kelly and her team has done spectacular work for us. We built a new townhome in Mendota Heights Mn that came with great floor plan but only builder grade finishes. She helped us completely retrofit the home with gorgeous choices. We replaced all millwork, flooring, cabinets, furniture, window treatments , appliances and lighting and we love the blue and white palette they chose with bits of pinks here and there. Their attention to detail is impressive. I tried working with a couple subcontractors on my own but that didn't go anywhere as smoothly as letting a professional manage it. Every time I made a choice on my own thinking I was saving money, it turned into a very expensive mistake.

It was also obvious how well she knows her field, as she took charge and was extremely professional when dealing with contractors and suppliers. Definitely recommend...

Carriage House Studio helped me with my bathroom remodel. It was the first major home remodel I have done so there was a lot that I didn’t know and I had A LOT of questions! Kelly helped me with every step of the way and was very knowledgeable and resourceful. She was incredibly patient as we looked at SEVEN different 3x6 white subway tiles to find exactly the one I was envisioning. And, it even happened to be the most affordable option-that never happens! Without her help, I would not have my beautiful light fixtures that are one of my favorite features in my bathroom. They are so unique and beautiful-I have never seen anything like them. Major renovations like this are stressful under the best circumstances. It was so nice to have a calm, knowledgeable guide through...
