Transform Your Private Sanctuary with HBRE's Expert Primary Suite Remodeling

Your primary suite is more than just a bedroom—it’s your personal retreat, the space where you begin and end each day. At HBRE, we believe this intimate sanctuary should reflect your style while providing the perfect balance of luxury, comfort, and functionality.

As the Twin Cities’ trusted home building and remodeling experts since 2013, we specialize in transforming ordinary bedrooms into extraordinary primary suites. Whether you’re looking to update an existing suite, convert adjoining rooms, or create an addition for the ultimate private escape, our design/build team delivers customized solutions that enhance your daily routine and your home’s value.

Why Invest in a Primary Suite Remodel?

A thoughtfully designed primary suite offers benefits that extend far beyond aesthetics, creating lasting impacts on your quality of life and property value:

Enhanced Relaxation: Create a personal sanctuary that promotes restful sleep and stress reduction
Improved Morning Routine: Well-designed layouts streamline your start to each day
Added Privacy: Soundproofing and strategic space planning create separation from household activity
Personalized Luxury: Custom features tailored to your specific comfort preferences
Significant ROI: Primary suite remodels consistently rank among the highest-return home improvement projects

Our Primary Suite Remodeling Process

At HBRE, transparency forms the foundation of successful projects. Our comprehensive three-phase approach ensures your primary suite remodel progresses seamlessly from the initial concept to the final reveal.

Phase 1: Vision Setting

The Vision Setting phase establishes a clear direction for transforming your personal space. We begin with an in-home consultation where we:

Evaluate your existing bedroom and bathroom configuration
Discuss your lifestyle needs, sleeping habits, and storage requirements
Assess opportunities for expanding into adjacent spaces if desired
Consider structural modifications like removing walls or vaulted ceilings
Provide an initial cost and schedule estimate for your transformation

This collaborative process ensures complete alignment before proceeding. By the end of this phase, you’ll receive an estimated construction cost, a design services estimate, and a design contract outlining our shared vision.

Phase 2: Design

With a solid foundation established, we move into the Design phase—where your primary suite vision takes tangible form. Your designer will meet with you to explore:

Your aesthetic preferences from traditional to contemporary
The atmosphere you want to create (serene, energizing, romantic)
Must-have features versus nice-to-have elements
Bedroom layout, including furniture placement and traffic flow
Bathroom configuration with shower, tub, and vanity options
Closet organization systems tailored to your wardrobe

Our team then creates detailed drawings, refining them through collaborative revisions until the design perfectly captures your vision. We’ll guide you through selecting colors, materials, fixtures, finishes, and lighting elements that create your ideal ambiance.

The Design phase culminates in a comprehensive package including finalized drawings, material selections, and a revised construction estimate reflecting all your design decisions.

Phase 3: Construction

With plans approved and selections made, we transition into the Construction phase. Our experienced team:

Secures all necessary permits and approvals
Orders custom materials and schedules specialized subcontractors
Implements comprehensive dust control and home protection systems
Executes the build according to detailed project schedules
Provides regular updates on progress and any timeline adjustments
Conducts a thorough walkthrough once construction is substantially complete
Addresses any punch list items to ensure your complete satisfaction
