  • Can you fix small roof leaks?

    Yes, we repair small roof leaks and missing shingles to extend roof life. This is ideal for homeowners wanting fast, budget-friendly fixes using quality materials by skilled technicians.
  • What interior remodeling services do you offer?

    Stormon Construction handles kitchen updates, basement finishing, bathroom refreshes, framing, and full room transformations. Each project is scoped to your goals and Minnesota home style, with clear timelines and professional execution from start to finish.
  • Why resurface a deck instead of replacing it?

    When a deck's structural posts and framing are sound, resurfacing replaces worn boards, railings, and stairs at a fraction of full rebuild costs. It's a smart investment that refreshes your outdoor space without unnecessary demolition or expense.
  • How long does a typical remodeling project take?

    Smaller updates and basement framing jobs often wrap up in days to a week. Full kitchen or finished basement projects typically take several weeks. A detailed schedule is provided upfront so you always know what to expect.
  • What exterior paints work best in Minnesota?

    Minnesota's freeze-thaw cycles, humidity, and UV exposure demand climate-tested exterior coatings. High-grade paints and stains formulated to resist moisture, prevent peeling, and hold color through harsh winters are the right choice for Twin Cities homes.
  • Do I need to hire separate trade contractors?

    No — Stormon Construction coordinates the necessary trade work, including framing, drywall, surface finishing, and light fixture installation. You work with one team instead of juggling multiple contractors, keeping your project streamlined and on schedule.
  • What areas does Stormon Construction serve?

    Based in Bloomington, MN, the team serves the South Metro and Twin Cities area including Minneapolis, Edina, Richfield, Eden Prairie, and Brooklyn Center. Homeowners throughout the metro can request service for residential remodeling and improvement projects.
  • How is a smooth ceiling finish achieved?

    After popcorn texture is scraped away, surfaces are patched, sanded, and skim-coated to create a uniform, modern look. Proper surface preparation is critical — skipping steps leads to visible imperfections once paint is applied.
  • What drives the cost of a home remodel?

    Project size, material selections, existing conditions, and scope complexity are the primary cost factors. Structural surprises like hidden water damage or outdated framing can add scope. A thorough on-site assessment helps surface these issues before work begins.
  • What should I expect when work starts?

    The crew protects floors, furniture, and adjacent areas before starting. Progress updates are provided daily, and the worksite is cleaned at the end of each day. Clear communication and tidy job sites are standard practice on every project.
  • Is basement finishing worth it in Minnesota?

    Yes — finishing a basement adds livable square footage and significantly increases home value, especially in the Twin Cities market. Proper insulation and moisture management are essential in Minnesota climates to ensure lasting comfort and prevent future problems.
