Earley Construction started in custom home building and that changes everything about how we remodel.
We don't patch and refresh. We reimagine whole floors, design additions that double your living space, and build homes that finally fit the life you're actually living.
Every project comes with in-house design, transparent pricing, and the same team from start to finish. No handoffs. No surprises.
If you're thinking small, we'll be honest with you. If you're thinking big, there's no better call to make.

We Think Like Custom Builders: Most remodelers think in terms of what gets replaced. We prefer to focus on what you're gaining! Our background in custom home construction means we approach every remodel with the same attention to structural integrity, design cohesion, and long term quality that goes into building a home from scratch.
Clear Communication: You will never wonder who is responsible for your project. Nick and the Earley Construction team are involved from the first conversation through the final walkthrough. No subcontractor handoffs, no project managers you have never met. The same people who design it build it.
In-House Design: Our in house design team works directly with you to develop a vision before a single wall comes down. That means fewer surprises during construction, better decisions upfront, and a finished result that actually matches what you discussed on day one.
Remodeling costs in Minnesota run higher than the national average due to licensing requirements, labor costs, and material availability in the region. For larger scope projects like whole home remodels or significant additions, budgets typically start in the mid five figures and scale from there depending on size and finish level. We use fixed price contracts so you know exactly what you are paying before work begins. We would rather have an honest conversation about budget upfront than surprise you with a change order later.
This is the question we hear most often. The honest answer depends on three things: how much you love your neighborhood, how much your home can realistically change, and what the numbers look like. In Wright County moving comes with significant costs beyond just the purchase price — closing costs, higher mortgage rates, and the reality that you may not find what you want in the current market. If you love where you live but the home itself is not working for you anymore, a remodel is almost always the smarter financial decision. We are happy to have an honest conversation about whether your project makes sense before you commit to anything.
Most structural work, additions, electrical changes, and plumbing modifications require a permit in Central Minnesota. This includes home additions, whole home remodels, and any work that affects the structure of the home. Permits protect you as a homeowner, as it's documented, inspected, and far easier to account for when you sell. We handle the permitting process on every project so you never have to chase down paperwork or wonder if something was done to code.
Start with a clear project scope before you talk to any contractor. Know what you want and what you need (those are often two different lists.) From there get a detailed bid that breaks down labor, materials, and permits. Minnesota remodeling experts consistently recommend setting aside 10 to 20 percent of your total budget as a contingency for unexpected structural issues or material changes. At Earley Construction we use fixed price contracts specifically to eliminate any surprise invoices for you and your family.
For smaller projects it is usually manageable. For whole home remodels or large additions it depends on which areas of the home are being worked on and for how long. We walk through this with every client before work begins so you can make an informed decision about your living situation during construction. We also keep job sites clean and organized daily which makes staying in place more realistic than most people expect. Learn more about our process.
