Based in Wayzata, Black Dog Homes is a multi-generation family-operated business and full-service design-build firm with a focus on new construction, whole house renovations, and additions. We live for the details and intricacies of fine homes and custom architecture.

As a Twin Cities home builder, we take pride in the excellence of our process which is supported by industry-leading technology. We find tremendous value in having the builder, interior designer, architect, and homeowner aligned from the very beginning with a team approach. We also partner with some of the most respected architects and interior designers in the Lake Minnetonka area. Additionally, Black Dog Homes is honored to have two of its projects chosen as Dream Homes in the Parade of Homes (2021: new construction and 2018: remodeler’s showcase). Our mission is to improve the lives of our customers by capturing their vision, inspiring creativity, and delivering the highest quality of craftsmanship in the industry.

Custom homes are our specialty whether it be a teardown, new construction on a vacant lot, or building on a lakefront property. Not only is Black Dog Homes one of the premier home builders in the Twin Cities, we are also experts in large-scale remodels that typically require homeowners to be out of the home during the construction phase of the project as these projects are fairly extensive in scope. A significant portion of our renovation projects include an addition, and we have been specializing in home additions for over 15 years! In fact, one of our remodels in particular was a 100-year-old historic Wayzata renovation that was chosen as a 2018 Dream Home in the Remodelers Showcase by the Parade of Homes. Home remodeling in the Twin Cities can be challenging, so let us orchestrate every detail of the project for you and simplify what is notoriously a complicated process.

In conjunction with our excellent team of contractors, Black Dog Homes participates in local building associations with other Twin Cities home builders for stronger access to networks and ideas that maximize the efficiency of operations. Each association we belong to provides ongoing benefits to both our business and the clients we serve. Knowing where we are and where we’re going keeps us excited about coming to work and delivering the best possible product to our customers. Black Dog Homes is a proud member of the Builders Association of Minnesota, Housing First Minnesota, NARI, NAHB, and Minnesota Metropolitan Contractors Association.
