Remodeling, Renovating and Building
Homes in South Metro, Minnesota
James Barton Design-Build is headquartered in Apple Valley, Minnesota. We've been part of the South Metro home remodeling, renovation and construction landscape for more than 13 years. We work here. Most of our employees live here, and many of the craftsmen, suppliers and contractors that we partner with are from the area. We're also actively involved within many south-of-the-river communities and organizations. So it's no surprise that we understand the area, the people and their homes.
We also know the cities of Dakota and Scott counties and work closely with various city departments and personnel to ensure all of our projects are completed to plan and code. From the start of your project to completion, you can rest assured that we've planned for and complied with every permit, ordinance, code, regulation and inspection required by local government.
Because of our focus on remodeling, renovating and building homes within the South Metro, many of our completed projects can be found in the area. We've done a little bit of everything, including:
Bathroom and kitchen remodels, house additions, whole-house remodels and renovations, lower levels and media rooms, wine cellars and bonus rooms, exterior renovations (siding, roofing, window and door replacement), decks and porches, outdoor rooms and living spaces, garage construction, hail and storm damage repairs and much more.
