Persson Construction
Every homeowner we meet has heard at least one horror story, if not lived one. A project that stretched six weeks into six months. A budget that crept up quietly until it was unrecognizable. A contractor who stopped answering calls once the deposit cleared. A house left covered in dust, with workers who disappeared for days without explanation. These are real things that happen, and if they haven’t happened to you, you know someone they happened to.
A remodel is one of the biggest investments you’ll make, financially and emotionally. You’re not just spending money. You’re handing over your kitchen, your bathroom, your living space to a team of people you’re still getting to know. Your daily life gets interrupted. Your family adjusts. You’re putting a tremendous amount of trust in a contractor, and you deserve to know that trust is in good hands before you sign anything.
Since 2006, we’ve been refining a process that takes the chaos out of construction. Not by making promises, but by building systems around the parts that go wrong most often: communication, budget clarity, scheduling, and quality control. We’ve done that work so your remodel doesn’t become a story you tell at dinner parties with a grimace.
We set your project up in Buildertrend, a dedicated client portal where you can see your schedule, daily logs, and photos from every worker on-site, updated every single day.
We use transparent, cost-plus pricing and establish a Comfort Zone Budget before design begins, so you know the realistic range of your project before you invest a dollar in development.
We run a rolling two-week look-ahead schedule and send weekly project updates so you always know what’s coming next, and if anything changes, you hear about it from us first.
Our job sites are clean, organized, and code-compliant. Every trade partner we bring onto a Persson job site works to the same standards we do, and all required permits are pulled before work begins.
Select a concern below and see exactly how our process is built to address it.
You’re worried the number you agreed on will quietly become a number you never agreed on. You’ve heard about projects where the estimate was low and the final invoice was high, where allowances were vague enough to be meaningless, and where change orders arrived fast and were explained poorly. You’re afraid to commit to a project you can’t afford to finish.
We use transparent, cost-plus pricing, which means every bill we pay goes through our open-book system, and you see the actual costs from every subcontractor and vendor. Before design even begins, we provide a Comfort Zone Budget, a realistic cost range based on similar projects and current industry data, so you know where your project lands financially. If anything changes during construction, we issue a formal, detailed Change Order that requires your approval before a single additional dollar is spent.
Timelines on remodels are notoriously optimistic. You’ve heard about kitchens sitting half-demolished for weeks while the contractor chased down materials or forgot to schedule trades. You’re afraid of losing control of your home for longer than you planned, and of being left with no visibility into when things will actually get done.
We manage every project with a live schedule in Buildertrend, which gives you real-time visibility into exactly where your project stands. Before construction begins, we coordinate with all trade partners to account for their availability and material lead times, so delays don’t catch us off guard. And every week, you receive a formal project update alongside a two-week look-ahead, so you always know what’s coming next.
The contractor who was responsive during the sales process has gone quiet. Your texts go unanswered. You don’t know who to call when something on-site doesn’t look right. You’ve heard about contractors who are responsive during the sales process and disappear once work begins. You’re afraid of having no clear point of contact, no reliable updates, and no real visibility into what’s happening inside your home every day.
Every client gets a dedicated project page inside Buildertrend, where all communication, documents, schedules, and photos live in one place. Your project manager and production team log daily updates with photos from every worker on-site, so you can see exactly what happened that day without having to ask. Weekly meetings and formal project updates are built into our process from day one so communication is never dependent on you chasing anyone down.

You’re worried your home will be unlivable for months, covered in dust, with materials scattered across every room and workers showing up on no predictable schedule. You’ve heard stories of job sites that looked more like disasters mid-project, and you’re not sure how your family manages daily life if that’s what a remodel looks like in practice.
We run clean, organized job sites, and that’s not a claim we put in a brochure and forget. It is a defined expectation for every trade partner we bring on-site. All work is performed to local and national building codes, all required permits are pulled before work begins, and minimizing disruption to your daily life is a stated priority in how we manage active construction. A disorganized job site isn’t just unpleasant; it reflects on the quality of the work being done inside the walls.

The portfolio photos look beautiful. What actually gets built is another question entirely. You’ve heard about contractor-grade materials dressed up with good staging, and about details that failed within a year. You want to know the work is done right, not just done quickly.
Quality at Persson isn’t something we inspect at the end. It’s managed actively at every milestone throughout construction. Our project managers review work at defined checkpoints to confirm it meets our workmanship standards, manufacturer requirements, and applicable building codes before the project moves forward. We only partner with experienced trade professionals who share that same standard, and we close every project with a formal Final Walkthrough to confirm every detail is exactly right.
