Curt Christensen's father, Paul Christensen, was a contractor specializing in remodeling. "Having him as my mentor was an invaluable education...learning from the best the techniques and practices of older construction, and how to retro fit it." - Curt
Lee Lyn Construction handles every remodeling job, large and small, with this knowledge of the past coupled with the latest building skill and technique. From one room to a complete structural change; clean, professional and finished on time. The transformation of a home or office space can be quite spectacular. Here are some “Before and After” photos of a recent Lee Lyn Construction remodel project in Plymouth. We added a fireplace, replaced the entire kitchen, created a landing in the staircase going to the lower level and added some storage solutions. The possibilities are endless. |
“The process was good throughout the length of construction. When issues came up (which will always happen - no matter how prepared) they were dealt with in a timely matter. Communication was top notch! Everything was finished how we wished/hoped it would be. We love our new garage!”

Minnetonka Orchard Lane Addition and Remodel
EXCERPT from Waconia City Lifestyle publication.
"It all started with wanting a bigger kitchen. Greg and Bobbie Stier weren’t sure where to begin. Their 1965-built rambler was missing some of the amenities found in modern homes. They considered several options: remodeling their current home, rebuilding their house entirely, or just selling and buying a larger home.
'We’d lived in the neighborhood for almost 10 years,' Greg says. 'We’ve made many friends and settled into the kids’ school. The radius of where we were willing to move was really small, and the market for houses was really competitive, so we decided to remodel.'
The Stiers were ready to do something with their home right before the COVID pandemic hit in early 2020. 'We started the process at a bad time,' Greg says. 'We brought in four or five different builders as part of our initial consultation. Some of the builders seemed to be more concerned with making our project bigger for their portfolio versus what we wanted or needed. We received a lot of pressure to increase our budget.'
Some relatives of Greg’s had built a home with Lee Lyn Construction, so he was familiar with their work. He and his wife met with them and realized that Lee Lyn was different from the builders they’d met with before.

Sunset Drive Renovation
The homeowners searched a long time before finding this “diamond in the rough”. It was the location of the home that really sold them being it was on a quiet channel right near Lord Fletchers on Lake Minnetonka. This massive remodel was done over the course of 5 months while the homeowners stayed between their vacation home and local hotel. We gutted the entire house and redid every inch. This included everything from windows, doors, trim work, flooring, walls, moving HVAC and plumbing, all electrical done new. Truly a remarkable turnaround!

Campfire Drive West Basement Finish
This remodel project was featured in the Remodelers Showcase Spring 2024. View the full profile on the Parade of Homes website: Remodelers Showcase #39
When the new owners of our model home in the Woodland Creek Development in Waconia purchased the home, they quickly knew what they wanted to do to the unfinished basement. We met shortly after they moved in and talked through their ideas and came up with a plan. We started the first week of January 2024 and completed the basement build-out by the middle of March 2024. We dramatically enhanced what had been previously thought for this space. Adding a gas fireplace to the living room area, wainscotting to define their TV/Movie area, full brick wall to set off their speakeasy bar vibe and matching that in the bathroom with a full brick wall behind the floating tub. We added heated floors in the bathroom and extended the wall placement to make the bathroom a little bigger. In the end, they added a multi-purpose room, which this homeowner is using as her craft/hobby room, a 5th bedroom, a ¾ bath, and great room big enough for a bar, game area, and living room.

“I’ve had the great pleasure of getting to know Curt and his team while remodeling my new restaurant, Mario’s, in Watertown, MN. It’s not only his years of experience, it’s how well this man runs his business and treats people. He came into a situation not knowing who I was but believed in our dream of a community business and it is literally making our dream come true in front of our eyes. Curt started as a contractor we hired and has quickly become a friend who I greatly admire as an individual and as a business professional. Look nowhere else when you want experience and trustworthiness because you have found what you’re looking for.”

“Lee Lyn construction re-sided my home and shingled my roof. The work was completed as scheduled. The price for the work was very competitive, especially considering the quality of workmanship. My city building inspector said it is the nicest siding install he has ever seen. When my neighbors are out walking, they will often comment how they think my home is one of the nicest looking homes in our area.” – Mike Gallagher
“Outstanding quality of work. Actually done under deadline and worked within our budget. A company with integrity. Very creative and gave great advice for our new deck.” – Janet Gilbertson |
