Black Dog Homes Black Dog Homes has been crafting beautifully appointed homes and tastefully designed remodels in the western suburbs of Minneapolis since 2006.

As a kid, President Dan Vanderheyden loved to build things. His first project was building a soapbox derby car with his Dad. He then progressed to furniture making, and eventually tore down the family cabin and built a year ‘round lake home with family members and friends. Today, as a custom homebuilder and premier home remodeler, Dan brings the highest level of personal commitment to his customers and projects. He is personally involved in every aspect of the building process. Black Dog Homes has refined the team concept including architects, designers, engineers and contractors, to create the perfect fit with each client and project. Our team approach results in a smooth and rewarding experience for our customers. Based on our commitment to outstanding customer service, Black Dog Homes has built a solid reputation among homeowners in the western suburbs. When you entrust your building or remodeling project to us, you get something you won’t find with most contractors – peace of mind. We deliver quality, honest value and exceptional craftsmanship. We do what we say we will do, when we say we’ll do it.

Every home has that one spot everyone gravitates to.

This space is built for gathering: a brick fireplace, exposed beams, and a dining space made for long meals and and even longer conversations.

Our Work, Their Words ✨

Nothing means more to our team than hearing from the families who call our custom projects home.

We pour our hearts into every single detail, and knowing we helped bring their unique vision to life makes every ounce of hard work worth it.

Step behind the scenes with us at our Heritage Lane project— where this kitchen went from concept to centerpiece.

Every detail, from the cabinetry to the countertops, was built for real life: big dinners, late-night snacks, and everything in between.

From the outside, it's a balcony. From the inside, it's the best seat in the house.

When you build custom, you get to plan for the moments, not just the square footage.

Thinking about what your custom home could include? Let us help you plan your next project.

(Swipe to see what is possible when you choose intention over chance.)

We have all seen or lived in an average kitchen. It is the space with the awkward traffic flow, the lack of counter space, and the cabinet setup that leaves you feeling frustrated every time you cook dinner.

At Black Dog Homes, we believe your home deserves a better blueprint.

Our approach is built to eliminate the guesswork of home remodeling. We align the homeowner, architect, and interior designer right from the very beginning to orchestrate every single detail of your project.

Stop settling for a kitchen you just tolerate. Let us help you design an exceptional environment that looks incredible and functions beautifully.

This season is in full swing—literally. 🏌️‍♂️

While the outdoor golf season in Minnesota flies by way too fast, the game never has to stop at home. At Black Dog Homes, we are helping our clients bring the fairways right into their own floor plans with custom, high-end in-home golf simulators.

If you are wishing you had the dedicated square footage for the ultimate entertainment lounge, a custom home addition is the perfect solution. For over 15 years, our Wayzata-based team has specialized in designing and building seamless, large-scale structural additions that feel like a natural extension of your original home.

Ready to elevate your home entertainment and perfect your swing all year long? Let us help you plan your next custom addition.
