Plymouth Remodeling Contractor Since 1974

Why Plymouth is different for us

This is the city where the company learned how to build.

Andy Kuechle started this company in Plymouth in 1974, and the office hasn't moved. Most of the team lives within ten miles. We've watched the city grow from a couple of older lakeshore neighborhoods into one of the most active remodeling markets in the west metro, and we've worked on homes through every chapter of that. That history shows up in small ways: knowing which subdivisions have which footings, which inspectors handle which routes, which suppliers stock the parts that match the trim profiles in older Plymouth homes.

Kitchens

Kitchen remodeling in Plymouth.

Most Plymouth kitchens we work on were laid out for a different decade. Walls in places that don't help, an island the family has outgrown, an oven the cook gave up on five years ago. The fix usually starts with structural questions, not finish questions, and it usually rewards a layout change instead of a refresh in place.

Layout-driven

The right kitchen usually starts with the wrong wall.

Plymouth ranches and two-stories often have a kitchen-to-family wall that's load-bearing and worth removing. The structural pass should happen before cabinet design, not after. We coordinate the engineer and the framing plan up front so the layout the family wants is actually buildable.

Stock-honest

The cabinet line should match the house, not the magazine.

Plymouth homes range from 1970s ranchers to brand-new builds. We help homeowners pick a cabinet tier that fits both the budget and the home, including lines we know will hold up under Plymouth families with real kids and real dogs.

Realistic ranges

Most Plymouth kitchens land $90K–$220K.

That covers cabinetry, stone, tile, plumbing, lighting, electrical, and finish carpentry for a fully reconfigured kitchen. Refresh-only scopes can come in lower. Custom inset cabinetry, structural changes, and premium appliance packages move the number higher.

Bathrooms

Bathroom remodeling in Plymouth.

Plymouth bathrooms split into two categories: hall and guest baths that need a clean refresh, and primary baths in older homes that finally need to grow up. The work that holds up is usually the work where the waterproofing and plumbing got more attention than the tile pattern.

Primary baths

Real space without a finish hangover.

The Plymouth primary baths we do best are the ones where the homeowners said yes to one freestanding tub, one well-built shower, and a vanity with real storage, and let the rest stay quiet. That's the bath that still feels right in fifteen years.

Hall and kids' baths

Built for the load they actually carry.

The bath two kids share needs different tile, different drainage detailing, and different vanity hardware than the magazine version. We talk through that first so the room can take a beating without showing it for a decade.

Schedule reality

6–10 weeks once selections are locked.

Plymouth bath schedules slip most often on tile lead time, glass fabrication, and the inspection windows. We lock the long-lead items first and build the construction calendar backward from there.

Basements and lower levels

Basement finishing in Plymouth.

Basement finishing might be the single most asked-for service in Plymouth. Newer subdivisions have unfinished lower levels with real ceiling height waiting to be used; older homes have basements that need moisture and mechanical work first. Either way, the project that lasts is the one where the pre-construction conversation was honest.

Pre-finish honesty

Drainage, ceiling, egress, mechanicals — all before drywall.

We do a pre-construction pass on the basement that covers the lake-of-water question (drainage, vapor strategy), the head-room question (true clearance, beam plans), the egress question (window wells, code), and the mechanical room (how it'll read after finishes).

Real living space

Theater, bar, fitness, guest suite — all in one plan.

Plymouth lower levels are big enough that they can do four jobs at once, but only if those jobs are planned together. Sight lines, sound separation, and traffic flow have to agree before cabinetry layouts get serious.

Realistic ranges

Most Plymouth basements land $100K–$260K.

That includes a wet bar, full bath, and family-room scope. Theater builds, fitness rooms with sport flooring, and deeper millwork can move the number higher. Older homes needing moisture correction first will see those numbers added on top.

Additions

Home additions in Plymouth.

An addition in Plymouth should solve something specific. The right test is whether you can name the daily friction the addition fixes in one sentence. If the answer is "we just need more space," the project usually wants a layout fix first and an addition second.

Bump-outs

A few feet that fix a specific room problem.

A small kitchen bump, an expanded primary closet, or a real mudroom can change how a Plymouth home lives without the cost or disruption of a full addition. The trick is making the bump look intentional from the curb.

Family-room and suite additions

The new rooms have to read like part of the original house.

Larger Plymouth additions usually involve foundation work, structural roof tie-ins, and HVAC rebalancing. Those decisions need to be planned together, not handed off in pieces between trades.

Plymouth permit reality

The 9th Ave office helps the permit timeline.

We've been pulling Plymouth permits for fifty years. We know which inspectors handle which routes, which submittals get bounced back, and which documentation makes the process move. Local familiarity isn't a marketing line here; it shows up in the project schedule.

Plymouth neighborhoods we know well

Where most of our Plymouth work happens.

Bass Lake, Parkers Lake, Greenwood, Hidden Lakes, Hadley Lake, the Vicksburg corridor, and the streets near the office on 9th Avenue North all show up regularly. We've worked on homes from every era of Plymouth's growth, from 1960s ranchers near Medicine Lake to brand-new builds in the northwest expansion areas.

Stop by the office — coffee's usually on. If you're comparing builders for a Plymouth project, you're welcome to walk in and meet the team. 15500 9th Ave N. Bring drawings if you have them; we'll talk through them at the table.

What "local" actually means here

The shortest commute is in our hometown.

When something needs a real decision in the room, we can be there in fifteen minutes. That changes how a Plymouth project gets handled — faster check-ins, faster site walks, faster answers. It also changes the after-the-project relationship, because we'll see you at the gas station, the school pickup line, and the trail around Medicine Lake.

Lower-level value

Basements that become real living space.

Plymouth homes often get more value from making the lower level work harder than from building outward. The cost-per-square-foot math usually favors the basement.

Basement Finishing

Bigger picture

Whole-home work that stays grounded.

Sometimes the right answer is broader scope. The trick is keeping it disciplined enough that the finished home still feels coherent room to room.

What homeowners say

Read what neighbors notice after the work.

Reviews matter because they show whether the process held up under real use, not just whether the photos turned out well. A lot of these reviews are from Plymouth homes.

Plymouth questions we hear often

The things people ask before they ask about cost.

The most useful conversations don't start with a number. They start with whether the local-builder thing is real and whether we'll show up after the deposit clears.

How long has Kuechle been working in Plymouth?

Since 1974. The office has been on 9th Avenue North in Plymouth for decades. We've worked on homes across Plymouth in every era of the city's growth, from older Bass Lake-era streets through the newer Hidden Lakes and Greenwood neighborhoods.

Do you actually stop by Plymouth job sites in person?

Yes, and not on a schedule. The office is six minutes from most Plymouth jobs, so a real decision in the room usually means a fifteen-minute round trip. That changes how problems get handled, especially the small ones that quietly become big ones if no one shows up.

What does a Plymouth kitchen remodel typically cost in 2026?

Most Plymouth kitchens we plan land between $90,000 and $220,000 depending on cabinetry tier, layout changes, stone selection, appliance package, and whether the work touches structural walls. Light refresh work can come in lower; major reconfigurations or premium cabinetry can run higher.

What's a realistic budget for finishing a Plymouth basement?

A typical Plymouth lower-level finish runs $100,000 to $260,000 depending on bathroom scope, wet bar or theater inclusions, and whether moisture or mechanical conditions need to be corrected first. The pre-construction conversation about ceiling height, egress, and drainage is usually where the budget gets honest.

Can I stop by the office to talk through a project?

Yes. The address is 15500 9th Ave N, Plymouth, MN 55447. Coffee's usually on. Bring drawings, a photo, or just the question, and we'll talk it through at the table. No appointment required, though a heads-up call helps.
