Elevate Your Lifestyle with Moonstone Design & Build

We hired Moonstone for a MAJOR renovation including a 2-level addition, complete overhaul of our kitchen, and a bathroom upgrade. We vetted numerous contractors and it was clear that Lidia had the best understanding of what we were looking for. Her passion for design + function aligned perfectly with our vision. Lidia wasn't afraid to gently encourage the bold design choices that I loved, but was hesitant to commit to, and I am so glad! If you are looking for a contractor who can create a design full of unique character and blend old + new, Lidia and Moonstone will do just that. The team at Moonstone always expected and ensured quality craftsmanship from their team, creating a beautiful + functional result.

We’re so grateful we got to have Moonstone to do our remodel! We bought a home that needed several updates and Lidia was immediately on it, giving us ideas of how we could update our kitchen, bathrooms, fireplace and much more. I’ve never seen a harder working crew with such care for doing everything well.

Lidia and her team were fantastic when working with them on my kitchen and bathroom remodel. Choosing materials with Lidia was so easy, and she made sure that we were on the same page with design and budget. Whenever we would have concerns or questions about the remodel, Lidia and her team would listen and act accordingly. I would use Moonstone Design + Build again.

We were impressed with how quickly the team worked - almost not a day went by when there wasn't someone there moving the project along. We had no delays in our project. I loved working with a woman contractor as it made me feel much more comfortable asking questions and making decisions with someone who was also a mom. It was easy to get a hold of Lidia and her team and we received daily updates on the progress. We have had our new basement for several months now and really love it! It functions and looks exactly like we wanted and Moonstone made that happen! We will certainly reach out to Lidia and her team for other home projects in the future.

I had the pleasure of working with Lidia on a full home remodel in Highland Park, and I was truly impressed by her exceptional attention to detail and the passion she brings to her work. Her design approach is both innovative and unique, with a remarkable use of color that truly sets her apart from others in the field. The creativity and thoughtfulness she poured into every aspect of the project were evident, and the final result exceeded all expectations. It was a wonderful experience collaborating with Lidia and her talented team!

Lidia and the team at Moonstone did a fantastic job with a kitchen renovation in our 100-year-old Saint Paul home! They helped us stay within our budget by choosing materials that looked super cool and expensive, but didn’t break the bank. The Moonstone team did the work in a swift + efficient manner, and were willing to come back and help us with follow up, detail jobs to make everything exactly how we dreamed. We now have a kitchen that exists in the modern age, but has callbacks to the other craftsman touches around our home and we couldn’t be happier.
