Twin Cities Contracting AboutUs Page

Who We Are

Twin Cities Contracting is a full service residential building and remodeling company serving all of Minneapolis and the Twin Cities metropolitan area. With our industry expertise and commitment to customer service, we can make your home remodeling dreams become a reality.

What We Do

All our contractors are highly trained and certified in every aspect of home building, and together our team is able to offer an extensive range of services, including:

Home Additions - Adding onto your house usually requires less expense and stress than moving and is a great way to increase living space while also making your home feel like new. We complete all our additions efficiently and isolate the work to as small a space as possible, so your house doesn't become a "construction site."

Kitchen and Bath Renovations - Kitchens and bathrooms are generally the most frequently used rooms in the house and are big selling points if you ever decide to put your home on the market. From our vast experience, we can guide you in choosing the most cost-effective products and solutions, which will enable you to enjoy immediate benefits (attractiveness, better utilization of space, etc.) and receive the greatest return on your investment .

Outdoor Additions - We can help you more thoroughly enjoy all your property by building you a deck, detached garage, and more. A deck can become a natural extension of your home and provide an outdoor "room" where you can relax or entertain. And, of course, a garage is ideal for storing tools, automobiles, and other items.

Basement Remodeling - If you have an unfinished basement, you are sitting on an untapped area of your home with huge potential to increase your living space and to add value to your property. We can turn your basement into anything you wish, including a family room, in-law suite, media room, man cave, gym, home office, and more.

Plumbing, Electrical, and Extras - As mentioned, we are a full-service contracting company, which means when it comes to remodeling -- we do it all. With us on the job, you don't have to worry about hiring outside plumbers or electricians, because our team members can handle all specialty niches. We are happy to do any job big or small, so whether you only need trim installed or want a whole new addition, Twin Cities Contracting can get the job done right.

Home Coaching - We recognize many people have the DIY spirit, but need a little guidance when it comes to something as complex as remodeling a house. For those customers, we offer coaching services with step-by-step instructions on how to professionally complete almost any job, such as framing a wall, building a deck, shingling a roof, installing tile, finishing drywall, and painting.


Stellar Customer Service

At Twin Cities Contracting, we understand what a big time and financial commitment home remodeling requires. This can create quite a bit of uncertainty when it comes to choosing designs and knowing what will work best in your space. We consider it our job to put your mind at ease, and we do so with an attentive customer service plan that involves:

In-home Consultation - It's our opinion you should never trust a contractor who doesn't come out to your home before offering an estimate. We always visit the houses of all our prospective clients, which helps us to better understand the area we are working with and the needs of the homeowner.

Draft Floor Plan - To make visualization easier, we will provide you with a draft floor plan of the proposed remodel. This is one of the best ways to make sure everyone has the same expectations and also serves as a guide during construction.

3-D Rendering - One of the things which really sets us apart from the competition is our innovative 3-D rendering services. With this tool we can show you a realistic, 3-D image of how your future space will appear. There's no wondering if you will like the final product because you can see it before any construction work starts.

Continued Involvement - Once work begins, we welcome you to stay part of the process. We always welcome your input, are willing to modify plans, and make your satisfaction our main priority. After all, it's your home and we want you to end up with a space you love!


Budget Friendly

We don't want a small budget to stand in the way of anyone's dream home, which is why we offer many affordable options. Of course, we can complete the entire remodel for you, but if you want to save some money, we can assist you in completing part or the entire project on your own. With our home coach services, you can learn how to complete the work professionally and, if you ever need help, you can feel confident Twin Cities Contracting is just a phone call away. We even provide tool rental, so you can have all the equipment you need at a much lower cost than buying it outright. Another way we save you money is through our 3-D rendering service. Changing plans during the middle of construction can easily create extra expenses and slow down progress, but with the ability to see the final product ahead of time, you can get a clearer idea of what you'd like to revise before it interrupts the work flow or requires redoing things already installed. No matter how you decide to approach your project, we will work with you every step of the way to ensure you are choosing the most affordable options that also match your vision.


How to Begin

Instead of dreaming about the house you always wanted, give us a call or contact us through our website to learn how we can help you make that wish happen. We welcome the chance to discuss how to bring your project to fruition, and with our flexible options, we undoubtedly can find a solution to fit your budget.

Title

The title of a web page appears in search results as the link to that page. Learn more ...

Purpose

The title of a web page appears as a clickable link in search results and bookmarks. A descriptive, compelling home page title with relevant keywords can increase the number of people visiting the site.

Search Engines

Search engines view the text of the title tag as a strong indication of what the page is about. Accurate keywords in the title tag can help the page rank better in search results.

Length

A title tag should have fewer than 70 characters, including spaces. Major search engines won't display more than that.

Content

The title tag of your home page (and any other page on your site) should not contain the site’s domain name or URL. These will appear near the title in search results, so use your 70 characters to tell people what the page is about. The title tag should not contain any HTML, because it will be displayed incorrectly or not at all.

  • Good: This web page has a title tag.
  • Good: The title tag is a good length.
The title of this site's home page:
Remodeling Minneapolis | Twin Cities Contractors

Meta Description

Search engines often use the meta description of a web page to describe it in search results. Learn more ...

Purpose

The meta description tells searchers what a web page is about. It is often displayed below the title in search results, and helps people decide if they want to visit that website.

Length

Search engines will read 200 to 250 characters, but usually display only 150, including spaces. The first 150 characters of the meta description should contain the most important keywords for that web page. Using fewer than 50 characters could mean you’re not saying enough about the page.

Content

The meta description should be engaging, and should include keywords that accurately reflect what visitors will find on the web page. The keywords should be the same ones that a site's potential customers are using to search. Include a site’s location if it is important.

  • Warning: The meta description is longer than 150 characters. Search engines will probably display only the first 150 characters, including spaces.
The meta description for this site's home page:
We take pride in remodeling Minneapolis homes to the highest standards. Twin Cities Contractors offer free, in-home consultation, and a 3D remodel rendering.

H1 Headings

The H1 heading is an important sentence or phrase on a web page that quickly and clearly tells people and search engines what they can expect to find there. Learn more ...

Just one H1

In most cases, a web page should have just one H1 heading. Using multiple H1 headings is okay if that is a logical way to organize the page, but they should be used sparingly. That’s because search engines can view multiple H1 headings as an attempt to signal that all the content on a page is equally important, a tactic that’s seen as an attempt to game the search engine algorithms.

Purpose

Search engines look for an H1 heading to determine what a page is about. Human visitors do, too.

Content and placement

The H1 heading appears on the web page itself, unlike the page title, which people will see mostly in search results.

The H1 tag (which contains the H1 heading) is usually listed first among the other heading tags for a page. None of the major search engines, however, will penalize a site for listing H2 through H6 tags ahead of the H1 tag.

The H1 heading for a page should be different from its title. Each can target different important keywords for better SEO.

  • Warning: This page has more than one H1 heading. It should have just one.
H1 headings for this site's home page:
  • Remodeling Minneapolis
  • Twin Cities Contractors

Robots

Your website's robots.txt file can tell search engines to ignore parts of your site. Learn more ...

Purpose

Website owners usually use robots.txt to let search engines know which pages or sections of their site shouldn't be indexed — for example, web contact forms, print versions of web pages and other content that's duplicated elsewhere on the site. Robots.txt can also be used to request that specific robots not index a site. For more information, read How To Use Robots.txt.

Be careful!

If you're going to use robots.txt, be careful not to accidentally exclude search engines from pages you want people to find. To learn more, read Don't Block Search Engine Crawlers.

Search engine robots

You'll need to know the names of specific search engine robots - or "bots" – if you’re going to exclude any or all of them from any part of your site.

  • Google’s bot is called Googlebot. Google is the world’s largest search engine, and is where many people discover new websites.
  • Bing’s bot is called msnbot. Bing also provides search results to people using Yahoo to search the Web. Together, Bing and Yahoo are the second largest search resource, after Google.
  • Baidu’s bot is called Baiduspider. Baidu is a major search engine in China, and the number of people using it is increasing rapidly.
  • AboutUs.org’s bot is called AboutUsBot. To create a Site Report, AboutUs uses crawling technology that’s similar to what search engines use.
  • Good: This website’s robots.txt file is not blocking major search engines from crawling its pages. Your website can appear in any engine’s search results.

Canonical Url

This website can live at www.TwinCitiesContracting.com or TwinCitiesContracting.com. It's best for your site's visibility to live at just one URL, or web address. You'll want to create a 301 redirect to the URL you choose from the other URL. Learn more ...

Choose one or the other

Whichever of these URLs you choose, make sure your website lives ONLY at that location, which is called the canonical URL for your site.

Be careful!

If you choose www.MyWebsite.com for your site, make sure people who don't type www can get to your site, too. Create a permanent 301 redirect from MyWebsite.com to www.MyWebsite.com.

If the same web page exists at two different URLs, people can choose to link to one or the other. Links from other sites to your website are valuable — they tell search engines that your site is important to people. By splitting valuable links between two identical pages, you're diluting the power of those links to help a page rank higher in search results.

  • Good: Your website resides at www.TwinCitiesContracting.com, and TwinCitiesContracting.com is permanently redirected to it.

Redirectory

Below we show domains that redirect to TwinCitiesContracting.com.

We survey every domain on the Internet ending in .com, .net, or .edu to see if any redirect to this website. Large or famous websites like Amazon.com often have many sites redirecting to them.

Domains that redirect to the home page of TwinCitiesContracting.com

A website owner can point one domain to the home page of another. Learn more ...

Capture visitors who type the wrong name

It can make a lot of sense to redirect a domain to an existing web page. For example, many people are likely to type wikipedia.com when they are really looking for wikipedia.org. Creating a redirect from wikipedia.com to wikipedia.org helps these people get to the site they want.

We have not found any domains that redirect to the home page of TwinCitiesContracting.com.

A domain can point to any page within another website. Learn more ...

Get people to a specific web page

Creating a redirect from a simple domain name helps people find an existing web page that has a long, hard-to-remember URL. For example firefox.com redirects to http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/.

We have not found any domains that redirect to pages within TwinCitiesContracting.com.
