Whether your home has suffered damage, years of deferred maintenance, or simply needs to be returned to its original character — Scala Design & Construction restores it with precision and care.
Damage happens. Homes age. Materials deteriorate. But with the right contractor, every problem is solvable — and every home can be restored to a condition that's safe, sound, and beautiful. Scala Design & Construction brings the same craftsmanship that drives our remodeling work to every restoration project we take on.
We work with homeowners across Minneapolis, St. Paul, and the Twin Cities metro to assess the full extent of damage or deterioration, develop a clear repair plan, and execute the work with precision. From a flooded basement to a home that hasn't been touched in 40 years, we've seen it all — and we know how to fix it.
From sudden damage to decades of deferred maintenance — Scala has the experience to handle it all.
Burst pipes, flooding, ice dams, and water infiltration can cause extensive structural and cosmetic damage. We assess the full scope, address the source, and restore affected areas completely.
Fire damage restoration requires careful structural assessment, smoke remediation, and full rebuild of affected areas. We coordinate all phases of the restoration from demolition through final finish.
Decades of wear, deferred maintenance, and outdated systems can leave a home in need of comprehensive rehabilitation — structural, mechanical, and cosmetic — to bring it to current standards.
Wood rot, mold, and moisture intrusion are common in older Minnesota homes. We identify all affected areas, remediate the source, and restore structural integrity with properly treated materials.
Minneapolis has a rich stock of historic homes — craftsman bungalows, Victorians, colonials — that deserve to be preserved. We match original millwork, materials, and character while bringing homes up to code.
Wind, hail, fallen trees, and severe storms can cause significant structural damage. We assess foundations, framing, rooflines, and exterior systems, then restore structural integrity from the ground up.
Scala coordinates every element of your restoration — from initial assessment through final inspection — so nothing falls through the cracks.
We inspect every affected area thoroughly — visible and hidden — to identify the full extent of damage before committing to a scope. No surprises mid-project.
We provide detailed, itemized scopes, photos, and reports to support insurance claims, working directly with adjusters when needed to ensure your claim is properly documented.
Foundation cracks, damaged framing, compromised load-bearing members, and rot-damaged structural elements — all repaired to current Minnesota code requirements.
Damaged or outdated electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems assessed and restored or upgraded as part of the restoration scope — ensuring safety and efficiency.
Siding, windows, rooflines, fascia, soffit, and trim restored or replaced to protect the home's envelope and restore its original curb appeal.
Drywall, flooring, paint, millwork, cabinetry, and all interior finishes restored to match existing character or updated for a fresh start after damage.
Damaged or inadequate insulation replaced with high-performance alternatives — improving energy efficiency alongside the restoration work.
All required permits pulled and managed by our team. Every phase of restoration inspected and signed off to ensure code compliance and protect your investment.
A single point of contact manages your restoration from start to finish — coordinating every trade, communicating daily, and keeping the project on track.
Before and after — Scala restores Minneapolis-area homes to a condition homeowners are proud of.
A structured approach ensures every restoration is thorough, compliant, and completed to the highest standard.

Restoration costs vary widely based on the type and extent of damage. Here's a transparent overview to help you plan.
* Ranges reflect typical Twin Cities market pricing. Insurance coverage may offset a significant portion of damage restoration costs. All estimates are provided free of charge after an in-home assessment.
"We had a pipe burst in our Minneapolis home during a cold snap — flooded our kitchen, dining room, and part of the living room. Scala came out immediately, assessed everything, handled the insurance documentation, and had the house completely restored in six weeks. You'd never know anything happened."
"We bought an old craftsman bungalow in South Minneapolis that needed significant work — rot, outdated wiring, plumbing issues, and years of deferred maintenance. Scala gave us an honest, detailed assessment and restored the home beautifully while preserving all the original character. Exceptional work."
"After a basement flooding event in our Eden Prairie home, we called three contractors. Scala was the only one who actually walked through every affected area before giving us a scope. Their estimate was thorough, their work was flawless, and they helped us navigate the insurance claim from start to finish."
Scala restores homes throughout Hennepin, Ramsey, and Carver counties.
