Experience and Background

North End Remodel is run by me, Carson Pixley. I am a remodeling carpenter based in Minneapolis, MN. My background covers whole-house remodels in historic Twin Cities neighborhoods, insurance restoration work, and kitchen, bath, and finish carpentry for homeowners.

Professional Background

Whole-house remodeling

Most of my construction experience comes from a small Twin Cities remodeling company completing whole-house remodels along Lake of the Isles, Mississippi River Blvd, and Summit Ave, along with many smaller projects. The schedules were tight, the next trade was always waiting, and the standard of work was high quality.

Insurance restoration

I have worked on both the demolition and the construction side of restoration companies, rebuilding homes after water and fire damage, including pre- and post-abatement cleanup on job sites where mold and asbestos removal is handled by licensed abatement specialists.

Current work

Today I complete insurance restoration for a few select jobs, and primarily remodel homes directly for homeowners through North End Remodel.

Experience With Older Homes

Much of my remodeling work has been in houses close to a hundred years old. That means working around older building codes, framing that does not match modern lumber sizes, removing knob and tube wiring, and protecting plaster walls that can crumble with the wrong approach. These homes have already lasted a century, and the goal is work that lasts just as long.
