The best way to get started is to contact Dream Time Renovations directly to schedule an on-site estimate. Ryan personally conducts every estimate — he'll walk your space, ask detailed questions about your goals, and deliver a thorough, accurate quote before any commitment is required. There's no obligation, and the estimate process itself will show you exactly how Dream Time operates compared to every other remodeling contractor you've spoken with across the Twin Cities South Metro.

Yes — and this is genuinely rare in the remodeling industry. Dream Time Renovations offers a written warranty on completed work. Minnesota law does not require remodelers to offer any warranty on their projects, and most don't. Dream Time does, because Ryan stands behind every project he and his crews build. A contractor willing to put a warranty in writing is telling you something important about the quality of their work — and their confidence in it.

Most Dream Time kitchen, bathroom, and basement projects are completed within approximately one month. This is made possible by intentional specialization — by focusing on interior remodeling rather than juggling roofing, siding, and additions simultaneously, Ryan can schedule properly and deliver on time. Your home is a living space, not a permanent worksite. Dream Time respects that, and it shows in every project timeline across the Twin Cities South Metro.

Ryan Balbas — the owner — manages every project personally. You won't be handed off to a project manager, a site supervisor, or a crew lead you've never met. Ryan is your single point of contact from the first question through the final walkthrough. When you hire Dream Time Renovations, you get the owner on your job from the estimate through the day the crew packs up and leaves.

No. Dream Time Renovations works exclusively with trusted in-house crews that Ryan has worked alongside for years — including people he's known personally for decades. His best man at his wedding is one of his carpenters. You won't find strangers sourced off a job board showing up at your home. The same people who start your project are there through completion, held to the same standard Ryan holds himself on every job across the South Metro.

Kitchen remodeling costs in the Twin Cities South Metro vary based on scope, layout changes, cabinet selections, countertop materials, and appliance packages. Most projects range from the mid-five figures for focused updates to six figures for full custom renovations. What sets Dream Time apart is a detailed pre-build estimation process designed to give you an accurate number before any work begins — so the price you're quoted is the price you pay. Near-zero change orders is a Dream Time standard, not a marketing claim. Ryan will walk your kitchen personally before any number is put on paper.

Yes. Basement finishing and remodeling is one of Dream Time's three core specialties. Whether you're starting with a completely unfinished space or updating an outdated basement in your South Metro home, Ryan and his trusted in-house crews deliver a finished result that matches your vision — on time, on budget, and backed by a written warranty. Dream Time serves basement finishing clients throughout Lakeville, Apple Valley, Burnsville, Eagan, Rosemount, Farmington, and the surrounding Twin Cities South Metro.

Yes. Kitchen remodeling is one of Dream Time's primary services throughout the South Metro Twin Cities. Owner Ryan Balbas personally manages every kitchen project from the first estimate through the final walkthrough.

Owner Ryan Balbas manages every project personally and is happy to talk through what's possible.
