Our Story

In 1996, Rick Berres closed down the dairy farm and started taking on the jobs his neighbors kept putting off — the honey-do list nobody ever gets to.

30 years later we've grown into kitchens, bathrooms, basements and whole-home remodels throughout the South Metro. Four out of five of our last 200 projects were somewhere in it — Lakeville, Apple Valley, Burnsville, Eagan, Farmington, Prior Lake, Rosemount.

Nearly 75% of our work comes from someone who hired us before, or someone they referred to us. That's the number we're proud of, and the one we intend to keep managing to.

What Homeowners Are Saying

"We just had Honey-Doers remodel two bathrooms - our main bath and our master bathroom - at the same time. The Honey-Doers staff were incredible to work with. They had everything so scheduled, that our project moved along quickly and our lives were not too disrupted. Everyday, they cleaned up their mess, so that our house didn't look like we had a major remodeling project going on. Afterwards, we were left with two amazing, spa-like bathrooms. Shelly was so great on the front end guiding us through what we needed to do for our selections, and Dan was so responsive during the remodeling with our questions. We would use them again and would highly recommend them!!"

— Karen M.

"It was such an easy process. I didn't have to do a thing beyond making the initial insurance claim for hail damage to my roof and deck. Dan took care of everything else. The roof and deck look fantastic!"

— Krista

"After a two year search for a firm to rebuild two walls of frames and windows, we found Honey-Doers. Larger firms were going to just throw resources at the project, smaller firms did not have the expertise - Honey-Doers had the bandwidth and expertise to complete a complex project on-time, during the height of Covid, with outstanding results - we can highly recommend."

— Nisus 3000

"ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC! Dan is a master at coordinating so many details. He explained things to me in plain English and helped me navigate the nightmare of insurance claims when no one else would. The communication as to timing, costs, etc. was excellent. Larry and Joe were super friendly and helpful. Everyone was prompt and when they said they were coming at a certain time, they showed up then. For my next repair or home improvement projects, I will go back to them and nobody else! Thank you so much, everyone! I can't tell you how much I appreciated all the work and scheduling!"

— Karin R.

"Honey-Doers, Ryan and his whole team, were professional and communicated throughout the whole process. We have an older 1927 home that has its quirks and they worked within our constraints to remodel our bathroom. It’s beautiful!"

— Jennifer C.

"Ryan and the team were practically perfect in their communications and installations. They took out a wall that separated our kitchen and dining room, replaced the flooring in both rooms AND hallway AND bathroom, and created an island using what was our kitchen counter. All the crew-members were polite and professional and it all came in on budget!"

— Dewey R.

Rosemount

"High praise to the whole Honey-Doers team! I was referred to them by a colleague for an exterior door install. Smaller job, hard to find folks willing to take it on. Rick, Shelly, Joe & Elliott were all fantastic. Great communication & workmanship. Very happy with the results. Will definitely use them again!"

"My experience with Honey-Doers was excellent. Their communication with me was great. They let me know what was going on every step of the way. I love my new shower! Better than I expected."

— Martha M.

"Honey-Doer's did a fantastic job remodeling our kitchen/dining/entryway and repairing some roof damage we had. They fully gutted our kitchen and enlarged our space to improve our kitchen function and flow. We really appreciate Rick, Dan, Shelly, and the all the guys that worked on our project. They listened to our needs, concerns, ideas and made it work for us. They offered advice and went the extra mile to make this remodel complete. We love our new space and have had many compliments. We would highly recommend Honey-Doer's for both small and large remodel/repair jobs."

— Rosy E.

"Honey-Doers does great work, I have recommended them to many of my friends and will continue to do so as they do not let me down."

— Al K.

"I have used Honey-Doers for several projects that needed doing that included an exterior door, gutters and some landscaping. Also added to the list was a nuisance problem where a Racoon decided to take up residence in our house! They were able to make sure the critter wasn't in the attic and then they sealed the hole it had created. Each project was completed in an affordable, timely and professional the resulting work was outstanding. Honey-Doers is our first call for projects large and small!"

— Darrell S.

"Honey-Doers finished our basement, and we are so pleased with the result. Working with Honey-Doers was an overall positive experience mostly in part of the communication provided. We are so delighted with the craftsmanship and will definitely use Honey-Doers again!"

— Kathleen P.

"Honey-Doers constructed our new deck, which included flower boxes and benches. They did an excellent job. Their workmanship was superb. Rick and all who worked on the project addressed all our concerns and were easy to work with. We highly recommend them."

"I’m delighted to write an evaluation of our experiences with the Honey Doers team. I met Randy the first year we built our house1996-97. We purchased our windows from a Canadian firm & Randy, one of the Honey Doers representatives was our fix it guy for the windows. Randy always stopped by in a timely manner when we needed him, was always courteous & professional.& competent! We had Rick help us once when we needed a new steel door & frame installed. He did a good job and was also prompt, courteous and professional. He also helped my husband install a radon vent in a sub garage space which had been poorly done by our builder. Rick knew what was needed and helped my husband do a great job! It transformed this large area into safe, useable space.We had many issues with our windows needing tweaking - tighten something, loosen something, repair a metal hinge, etc. They have always been willing to stop over and take a look and fix the issue. Just yesterday we realized that one of the double windows in a bedroom was not closing tightly. Of course it was the first day we had snow! I called Shelley in the office who sent out a repairman I hadn’t met yet. Joe stopped by, found the problem and fixed it on the spot. Joe was just as enjoyable, prompt & courteous as the others had been. And competent!I highly recommend this business to anyone who needs a competent worker for any kind of household fix.If they say they can do the job it’s been our experience that they can. They will write up a bid and you can discuss it from there.Thanks Honey Doers for your help. We appreciate you.Bridget Harrington"

— Bridget H.

"We had an overflowing shower that wrecked, flooring, carpet, woodwork and a ceiling. We selected Honey-Doer as our contractor and it was the absolute best choice possible. They worked with our insurance company, took care of everything and did a fantastic job returning our home to better than before the flood. The communication was excellent and the crews were great to have in our home. If you need work done in your home call Honey-Doers. You won’t regret it. ✌️"

"I want to thank everyone at Honey-Doers for the amazing work you all did on my deck rebuild.

Especially Shelly, Rick, Jon and Jake.Thank you sooo much!!"

Apple Valley

"The picture itself may not tell the whole story so I would like to share my experience with Honey-Doers. From Ryan, Bob, Joe, Joey, Seth, Shelly, and Dan, unbelievable service!! In a world now where service has kind of gone downhill, this team blows it out of the water. Responsive, polite, prompt, patient, respectful. My wife and I experienced water damage which left us with a massive hole in both the wall and ceiling. Honey-Doers came out ahead of a snow storm and began the work on the exterior to ensure we were well insulated and safe before the storm hit. They were quick and masters at their craft. It looks fantastic and we are extremely grateful for the time and effort. Thank you for caring and being there for us during this frustrating time. I would recommend Honey-Doers to all. This is genuinely me saying if you are looking for the job to get done right, look to them and they will take care of you."

— John C.

"Honey Doers completely remodeled our bathroom and tv room, as well as did some other work on the rest of our house. The team was a pleasure to work with - polite, responsive and professional. Their communication was outstanding, and they walked us through what felt like an overwhelming project. Highly recommend."

"Honey Doers completed a two bathroom refresh for me including a tub to walk in shower conversion with custom tile. Very pleased with the craftsmanship and project management."

— Perry G.

"Honey-Doers is an awesome service. I've used them twice and they are my go-to service for kitchen and home repair service.In our kitchen we had them install 2 new light systems and refinish the ceiling.In a second visit we asked them to repair a loose glass pane on our sliding door which goes out to our patio.Finally we asked them to assess a water leak and inspect our roof, and do necessary repairs. On this final repair they actually saved me $400."

— Warren B.

"They were very easy to work with and very nice to talk to. They did great work removing a wall and updating the electrical and kept me informed every step of the way. Will definitely be doing business with them again!"

— Rochelle R.

"From start to finish, Honey-Doers did a spectacular job of a complete redo of my master bath and updating to the master bedroom. Dan and his crew (especially Joe) were a joy to work with. Shelly and Dan did a fabulous job of guiding me through the fixture selection process. There was no dumpster in the driveway as all rubbish was removed daily (which I appreciated). I also received updates at the end of each day from Dan or Ryan. Project started and ended on schedule.I wouldn't hesitate to refer Honey-Doers and in fact, a neighbor and is about to embark on a master bath fix."
