Black Dog Homes

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 customer

s 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.

Spring light hits different in Cottagewood. This renovation was designed to let the outside in — and every room delivers.

Farmhouse sink, polished brass, marble throughout, and a breakfast nook that earns its square footage.

Built to last. Designed to live in.

There’s something about a home that just feels right the moment you walk in. This is one of those spaces.

Soft light, warm textures, and a layout designed to flow effortlessly from one moment to the next—morning coffee at the island, kids running in from the yard, slow evenings gathered around the table. Every detail was chosen to support the rhythm of everyday life while still feeling timeless and refined.

Take a look inside one of our latest projects.

A whole-home remodel and an addition — this Wayzata cottage got the full treatment, and it did not disappoint.

From Wolf appliances and stunning interior stonework to a brand new 2nd story and the most dreamy front porch, every detail was intentional.

A full main level renovation — reimagined from the ground up. New kitchen, butler's pantry, and spaces that finally work as beautifully as they look. This is the home you always pictured.

This custom arched entry by is the kind of detail you don’t forget.

Because the details that welcome you home matter just as much as the ones inside it.

There's something about a space that just feels right the moment you walk in.

Natural light, exposed beams, a table made for long dinners and even longer conversations.
