Woman-owned and operated

Prima is owned and run by Kim — and you feel it in the work. She does most of the hands-on building herself, leads an in-house team instead of a rotating cast of subcontractors, and brings multiple architecture degrees and 20+ years in older Twin Cities homes to every project. One accountable person designs it, builds it, and stands behind it.

“I want to be known as one of the best general contractors in the Twin Cities, not one of the best women general contractors. And if a little girl sees me covered in dust, carrying tools, solving problems, and leading a job site, I hope she sees it as completely normal that she can grow up and do hard, dirty, skilled work too.”— Kim Studham, owner

What our clients say

“Prima was worth the investment. With a 113-year-old house, our project was complex, and we were impressed by how organized and well-executed it was. It’s also a joy to be able to trust your contractor.”— Patrick S, Northeast Minneapolis

We’re proud recipients of the Guildmaster with Highest Distinction Award (2021, 2022, 2023, 2024) for superior customer satisfaction.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a kitchen or bathroom remodel cost in Minneapolis–St. Paul?

It depends on the size of the space, how much is changing, and the finishes you choose. Our project spotlights and 2026 Twin Cities cost guide show real, banded numbers and timelines from recent kitchens and baths.

Do you remodel older and historic homes?

Yes — older Twin Cities homes (early-1900s through the 1920s) are our specialty, including the surprises that come with lath-and-plaster walls, settled framing, and dated mechanicals.

Minneapolis, St. Paul, and the surrounding suburbs — including Edina, Roseville, St. Louis Park, Robbinsdale, New Brighton, Columbia Heights, and more.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. Prima holds Minnesota Home Builder License #BC792052, and we’re a multi-year Guildmaster with Highest Distinction award winner (2021–2024).
