For decades, we’ve specialized in the bungalows, Tudors, foursquares, and story-and-a-half homes that define the charming neighborhoods in and around Minneapolis and St. Paul. We love the character of these spaces, we understand their challenges, and we know how to create more breathing room out of even the most limited footprint. If you live in an older home and you want it to truly fit your lifestyle, there’s no better choice than White Crane.

But what if you don’t live in an older home? No matter what kind of home or condo you live in, you’re going to benefit from the depth of our experience. We’re used to working in the most complicated and challenging spaces, and we bring that level of expertise to any home we work in.

Many people are surprised when they hear how quickly we can get their project done—and they’re even more surprised when we actually finish on time. One of the most important things to know about us is this: When we say it will take 3 months, you can trust us that we don’t actually mean “somewhere between 3 and 8 months”.

Projects that other firms might spend 12 months or more on are often finished by our team in 4 months or less. Just ask our clients.

How are we able to finish our projects so quickly? And how do we keep our timelines on track? Here’s how:

• We don’t cut corners in the pre‑planning. We dig deep to understand what the project will actually require, and we nail down a tight, realistic schedule up front.
• We’ve built a streamlined system for moving through your project quickly. We don’t waste a day.
• We work with trade partners who are incredibly skilled, thorough, and efficient.

You won’t find a team anywhere that’s better at keeping your project on track.

Anytime you start opening up walls and floors, you can run into unexpected issues, especially in older homes—but our team is ready for anything that may come up. There’s not much we haven’t already seen, and we know how to resolve whatever may arise.

If we uncover an issue in your home, our designers, project managers, and build team will get together and strategize on solutions. You can be absolutely sure we’re committed to doing the right thing for your house and your budget, and we do everything possible to keep your project on track.

At White Crane, we’re serious about going above and beyond for our clients. When a problem arises, we stand behind our clients and we make sure we do the best by them—and their home. We like to say, “We break ties in favor of our customers.” But the best way to understand how we treat our clients, is to hear from them yourself.
