Testimonials
“Dan did an incredible job updating our house and replacing the outdated oak! He fully replaced all of the baseboard, gutted/replaced the railings and baseboard on our stairs and refinished our mud room with shiplap. He workmanship was fantastic and professional. He was able to take my vision (and Pinterest picture) and turn it into reality. He improved on the items I found to make it look better and cleaner. Once he started our project, he was all in and not distracted with other projects and got the job done in a timely manner. I highly recommend Twin Cities Trimming for any updates to your home!.”
— Brittany Becker
“Dan and his crew replaced our old oak trim and baseboards with beautiful white wood trim. They also updated our staircase by replacing the old wooden balusters with modern wrought iron balusters. They did great work! They were also clean and professional. I would call Dan again whenever we have a trim project.“
— Sara Kelly
“Danny updated our 1984 stair system and we LOVE the results! It is always refreshing to work with a professional who is conscientious and diligent as well as meticulous with the details. Danny was excellent to work with and he was so considerate of being in our home. We would strongly recommend him and his workmanship!! Thanks Danny for exceeding our expectations.”
— Lisa & Paul
“Dan did an excellent job installing our cabinets and completing the trim work. He always arrived when he said he would be here and went above and beyond what I asked him to do. He had very good suggestions for working around the drains we have (previously in soffit, now in cabinet). I will definitely use Dan again and recommend him to others.”
— Aimee Andreotti
“Where to start! We are more than pleased with Danny's company and crew. He was referred to us and came out quickly for a bid. For the first round, they did our trim, stairway, and railings. The stairway was designed between Danny's suggestions and our ideas. We were concerned with wooden stairs as we have two active teenagers but Danny recommended a groove style stair tread that has been wonderful. I have never seen stair tread with this groove in them, and not only do I love the extra slip protection, but also love the extra style it gives the stairway. We get so many compliments on our beautiful stairway and love the trim work. Coming from a family with strong construction background it was critical to have someone do the work, that has a high level of quality. Twin Cities trimming and Danny were very particular. The corner miters are straight and clean and extra care was put into the stairs to re-level and design them to correct previous mistakes. Danny's trim guy, prep guy, and master carpenter were kind and did the highest quality work. I would recommend them to anyone. They are the best. Quality and customer service of this level are not easy to find and we were fortunate to have both. We are planning to redo all of our doors and the rest of the trim and will definitely be calling Danny when we get to that project. Thank you Twin Cities trimming!”
— Kim and Lee Quirk
“Working with Dan was a breeze. He completely replaced our 80's style railing that spanned 2 floors and 2 flights of stairs. Communication was great, from suggestions while picking our styles, answering questions, and firming up dates to have the railing done. The project started when we had agreed upon and wrapped up when he said it would. I'd work with Dan again without a doubt. The final project looks amazing and he cares about his craft. Nice work!“
— Kevin Marandola
“Twin Cities Trimming came out to do an estimate for us late in 2018 for our extremely “tired” and dated staircase. After some details and minutiae were decided, they came out to perform the work. I can honestly say I was thoroughly impressed with their drive, flexibility and precision of work. They worked under a very tight timeline with my wife and child out of town, and even worked to complete the work for my wife’s birthday. Throughout the entire process, Danny and his team were very professional and intent on doing the best job possible. All these characteristics of the company resulted in a stunning, safe and stylistic staircase. The grooves in the step were such a subtle yet crucial component that is not seen with other companies and gives great grip. Lastly, the knuckles and railings were done with superb precision. In short, stunning experience and well worth every penny (amazingly well priced by the way)..”

“Dan and his team were professionals and artists through and through. He was able to visualize the project and help us pick the right look for the house, did incredible, solid work, and was easy to work with/have in the house. He was cognizant of our budget, but also wanted us to have a project scope that made sense and helped us get there while using quality materials. He came in budget exactly where he said he would, and any materials ordering mix-ups (Not his fault) were dealt with quickly and efficiently with no effect on schedule. We have already recommended Dan to others. He does beautiful work and we are so happy with our house. We've upgraded from standard, contractor-grade woodwork and trim/doors to high-quality workmanship that is absolutely stunning. They installed new doors, trim, base shoe, rebuilt the stairs, and put in a new railing. We also had new wood floors installed done by another contractor and they worked very well together.”
— Melissa Barnes
“Dan and his crew are some of the finest trim carpenters in the Twin Cities area. His expertise in stair building is unmatched.”
— Alan Surratt
“We wanted to update our stairs and railings as part of a larger project. Dan was prompt in returning my call, prompt in getting an estimate. His expertise, listening to our ideas and working with us on making the changes we wanted was appreciated. He took our ideas and turned them into reality. During the actual project, Dan's attention to the details and making sure it was done right were truly appreciated. Dan takes great pride in his craftsmanship. I highly recommend Dan and his team, they will do an excellent job!”
— Dale Pedersen
“We hired Dan to replace a staircase in our Colonial house which was built in 1935. He was so helpful with choosing materials and there was no pressure for me to make my choices quickly. Dan and his crew took care of our home and cleaned up the work space every day. His attention to detail and craftsmanship are apparent in the new staircase. We are so pleased, I would enthusiastically recommend him.”
— Patricia Malkerson
“We hired Dan to extend our stair handrail and he did a great job. He paid very close attention to detail and we couldn't be happier with the result. He's very creative and has a great design eye. We would definitely hire him again.“
— Mia Mine
“I hired Dan and Twin Cities Trimming to install a new railing in My 1920's home and the experience was wonderful. The completed railing is perfect and exceeded all of my expectations by a landslide. From the first meeting to the completed project Dan and Twin Cities Trimming were prompt and professional his response times, scheduling, working and completing my beautiful new railing. I gave Dan a couple of samples of railings that I liked and then gave him the freedom to make it work with the space and to use his stellar skills and craftsmanship to make it look the best, the results are better than I dreamed of. Due to the spectacular craftsmanship and the ease of doing business with Twin Cities Trimming they will be the only company that I will ever hire to work on the woodwork and house in the future.”
— Jackie Visnovec
“Danny at Twin Cities Trimming installed wood newel posts and railings on our staircase. He was very professional and responsive throughout the project. The workmanship is excellent and we are very happy with how the project turned out. He worked with us to select the appropriate materials made some great recommendations. He even cut up all the leftover scrap into a set of building blocks for our kids - which they love. I would recommend this contractor to anyone looking to have architectural woodwork done.”
— Jacob Tu
“Dan was hired to clean-up a horrible trim and installation job by another carpenter to our fire damaged home. Our entire home was in need of renovation. This included; trim, casing, based board, stair railing, kitchen cabinets, doors, (pocket-doors) locks, knob, tub/shower. A custom fireplace mantle and crown molding installed by Dan was stunning, one of the highlights of our new home. Under a tight deadline, the job performance was nothing short of outstanding, they worked tirelessly and superbly, truly a team effort producing a first class job. Our job site was always clean, never a complaint, everything was completed on time, and to our satisfaction. Dan's team is very professional and extremely reliable. We would highly recommend Dan Aschemann, to anyone considering a renovation or small job. We will certainly use him again for any our future projects.“
— Sheila Arrington
“My wife and I hired Twin Cities Trimming to install our railing for our stairs in our home. Dan Aschemann did an excellent job. Dan came on the date when he said he was coming and he was on time. Dan took his time to make sure the job was done right. our hand railing is beautiful !! me and my wife are very happy.“
— Curtiss Cain
“Dan is fantastic! His craftsmanship is outstanding, beautiful work! He installed a railing for our staircase as well as created custom built-ins in our new addition. I can't recommend him enough. Very dependable, honest and hard working!“
— Claire Rathburn
“Dan is an amazing finish carpenter who has bring our 1880's home back from the state of neglect to a work of art. He installed our amish-built kitchen cabinets and trimmed them in clear maple. He also installed maple floor moulding around the entire first floor, rebuilt several doors and trimmed them in maple as well. Some other rooms had oak flooring and ceramic tile, and he installed floor moulding in those rooms to match as well making an artful transition between rooms. This was a real challenge because there is not a level or plumb floor or wall in the house! Dan is friendly, knowledgeable and can improvise in a pinch. He provided an accurate estimate and finished all projects on time and in budget. We are already planning to have him back for more improvements this winter. Thanks Dan!!”
