Prairie Home Improvement was built intentionally by a farm boy turned academic who chose to walk away from a career in higher education to build a company that reflects his passions and values-a company that focuses on helping families to love their homes no matter the stage of their home ownership journey.
We're different from many of the home improvement companies out there that pick a product in which to specialize and then focus on selling it. Our focus is on you, and on the specific modifications you need to improve your home for your family. We want you to feel important because you are, and we make it a point to maintain open lines of communication throughout your home improvement project.
In fact, if you look at our reviews, you'll see that's one of the things our clients appreciate most about us. Whether you're buying your first home, remodeling as your family grows, or looking to downsize or "Age in Place, " we have the expertise you need to make sure you continue to love your home.

Nate has been a licensed general contractor in both Washington State and Minnesota, and has worked off and on in this field for the last 25 years. He has honed his craft since his days growing up on a farm, and today blends this expertise with a deep understanding of home ownership, the housing market, and strategic approaches to home improvement.
Prairie Home Improvement helped give this successful young professional the kitchen of her dreams. This basement started as one large room but was soon transformed into an additional bedroom and bathroom, just in time for the arrival of this family's new bundle of joy. This 1920's bungalow gets a major upgrade when an unused bedroom is converted to a large, spa-like bathroom, complete with a soaker tub.

Nate did a fantastic job on our kitchen! He always let us know what was happening every step of the way.
He did a great job in coordinating the work of the counter top installation and the install of the sink.
He also did an amazing job installing the backsplash tile. We absolutely love it. Our kitchen went from drab and dreary to amazing and inspiring! It is a joy to cook in now.
He was very pleasant to work with. He even made friends with our dog who is usually very wary of new people.
I would highly recommend Nate and Prairie Home Improvement for any home remodeling project.

Prairie Home Improvement undertook a big remodeling effort in my home and I'm thrilled with the results! Just as important - the process from start to finish was seamless. The service, expertise, communication, and value can't be topped - I would highly recommend them for any upcoming project (and plan to use Prairie Home Improvement for future home renovations!)

We are so impressed with Nate and his team from Prairie Home Improvement, and can't recommend them enough! They did a fantastic job on our lower level kitchen and bath remodel, and even as changes to the project came up or adjustments needed to be made (as what usually happens with renovations) his team helped work through them quickly and we still finished on time. We enjoyed getting his perspective and expert guidance, and are absolutely thrilled with the end result. We will definitely continue to use him on future projects, thank you Nate!

I recommend Nate Sawyer of Prairie Home Improvement for any remodeling needs you may have. My husband and I were comfortable with Nate at our first meeting. He is a great communicator and answered any and all questions promptly. His work is over and above what we could have hoped for. He transformed our grossly outdated kitchen to a new, modern look that is also up to code! Cannot say enough good things about Nate, he is the best!!

Nate is top notch! We were completely blown away with how good a job he did on out kitchen remodel. Nate was an absolute pleasure to work with too! He always returned our calls and emails promptly, communicated the timeline of the project on a regular basis and was always willing to accommodate any of our requests. We could do give Nate a higher recommendation!

Nate was an absolute pleasure to work with. He was very punctual, got his work done ahead of schedule, and was very respectful of our home. My wife was able to contact Nate with daily concerns and he reached out to her quickly and was incredibly responsive to her concerns and issues.
What drew us to Nate firstly was when he came to give us a quote on the project he seemed most professional of the contractors we had talked to, had provided the most readable quote that broke every part of the project down in an understandable fashion, and he was the nicest most willing to work with our needs contractor

A long-mooted bedroom-to-bathroom remodel has come to fruition. LeVahn Brothers plumbing suggested Prairie Home Improvement for the carpentry portion of the project and I could not be happier with the results. Nate brought in three tradesmen who performed splendidly while his own work is of the highest quality. Great vision, excellent skills, first-class communication, fair pricing - what more could you want?

I hired Nate for our bathroom remodel and I couldn't be happier! Top notch work, fair bid and excellent communication. From day one he kept me informed thoughout the entire process. He was very respectful, trustworthy, thorough and clean. My bathroom turned out beautiful and just how I envisioned it :) I would not hesitate to hire him again! Excellent experience. I highly recommend Prairie Home Improvement.

I worked with Nate on our basement remodel, which included a bedroom and bathroom. Nate was super easy to work with and provided us with great recommendations on how to best utilize the space. Throughout the project, he provided excellent communication around statuses and next steps and answered my (many) questions quickly. I am absolutely thrilled with the quality of work he provided and appreciated his flexibility and willingness to meet our needs and work within our budget. I would highly recommend Nate and Prairie Home Improvement- Thank you, Nate!
