Home remodeling with an emphasis on artistry, history, and respect.
In a world of cookie-cutter developments, we approach our work with the dignity worthy of a tradition that stretches back over 7,000 years.
A passion for vintage homes.
Founded by Ben Quie in 1988, Ben Quie & Sons is a St. Paul remodeling company specializing in bringing together the charm of vintage homes with the function of modern conveniences.

We are carpenters.
Driven to master our craft, we chase the satisfaction that comes from cutting the perfect cope or scribe. Each project is an expression of the embodied knowledge and wisdom honed through generations.
And we are kind.
When the world is a storm, a home shelters us; makes us feel safe. Inviting a contractor, a stranger, into this intimate space is a vulnerable act. You can count on us to be considerate.
Our favorite scent is sawdust.
We love the sense of accomplishment at the end of the day. That moment when we stand back and see something tangible, useful, and beautiful that wasn’t there before.
Our Process ☞
Foundation of Integrity
We are humbled by the trust that our clients place in us. We return it by acting with integrity – from our building practices, to design, to communication, and prompt attention to any issues that may come up. You can count on us to do what’s right.

Built to last over 100 years
Our goal is for your home to be truly timeless, to become a living part of history, passed on from family to family. To remain after we have gone on, as a witness to the profound meaning of craft and home.
