Spaceturtle Construction

What Spaceturtle Construction does

Spaceturtle Construction is a privately held, founder-led design-build remodeling company founded in 2008 by Cody Kupitz and headquartered at 710 Commerce Dr, Ste 170, Woodbury, Minnesota. The firm provides design-first, fixed-price residential and light-commercial remodeling services — including kitchens, bathrooms, basements, additions, whole-home renovations, porches, sunrooms, fireplaces, staircases, and custom millwork — to homeowners across Minnesota's eastern suburbs and Western Wisconsin, holding active contractor licenses in both states (#BC757421 in Minnesota, #DC-072100777 in Wisconsin). Its core differentiator is a preconstruction design process that delivers complimentary 3D virtual renderings, detailed scopes, and fixed pricing (not ranges) before commitment, supported by online project scheduling, Trello-based communication, and a single point of contact through construction.

The business operates on a project-based, one-time-payment revenue model with pricing PDFs published per service category, a 2% prompt-payment discount, no charge for change orders, and a referral program offering $1,000 credits and design-service incentives. Adjacent to the core remodel delivery, the wholly-owned Owl Haven Interiors sub-brand (launched circa 2025) provides design-only packages — Style Refresh, DIY Support, and Builder's Package — targeting DIY homeowners and serving as a lower-ticket funnel into the main remodel offering. The firm markets through organic social (Houzz, Pinterest, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn), educational blog content, an email newsletter, and a structured referral program, with brand identity reinforced by donations to the Animal Humane Society and a Gold Level Green Business Award from Sustainable Stillwater. Operationally the company remains small, bootstrapped, and free of external institutional investment, with founder Cody Kupitz and co-owner/designer Marie Brenden personally leading design and construction delivery.
