Welcome
You'll be in good hands when you work with our experienced team. We are dedicated to being a different kind of remodeler... And that's something we're proud of!
Founder & Owner: Cody Kupitz
In 2008 I began remodeling and redesigning distressed homes for resale. That led to building custom homes in the western MN suburbs. I found I enjoyed the artistic qualities of woodworking and focused on residential and commercial finish carpentry. I created SpaceTurtle Construction, to combine all my experience in renovations, additions, new homes, but still allow myself to enjoy some of the smaller finishing projects. I am excited to help you uncover the potential of your living-space.
Proud Dad to Arya: American Staffordshire Terrier
Co-Owner & Designer: Marie Brenden
I bring a creative eye to our projects. I'll help you design a space that is beautiful and functional for your family. I'm a big believer in building a space that you will love and making each area useful for the life you live. Whether it's finding the most durable carpet for your toddlers or finding the largest windows to take in the view, I'll help you get there within your budget.

Business Manager: Meagan Kochendorfer
I manage the office and business operations of SpaceTurtle. I work closely with our clients, vendors, and suppliers to deliver on a commitment that our customers’ needs are being met by ensuring their renovation project runs smoothly. My thorough, conscientious, and organized approach along with my ability to give you the personalized attention you deserve, will help to ensure that your vision becomes a reality.

Creative Director: Lilah Brenden
I provide all of the before and after photos for our projects. I spend time with our designers up front to make sure I have all the right angles to capture the transformation. While I like to be behind the lens I also bring my expertise in front of the camera when I stage your newly remodeled space. I love that we can share these images with our homeowners. It's exciting to be part of each project because I can see the whole process from how things "used to be" to the big reveal!

Photo Editor: Rebecca Clair
Hi everyone! I'm here for all of Spaceturtle's editing needs. All those beautiful images our photographer captures? I'm here to make sure they show off their best side to all of our wonderful past, current, and future clients! After majoring in visual design and photography, I went on to become a wedding and real estate photographer. My recent years were spent solely on real estate media, and I am now thrilled to use my editing expertise on Spaceturtle's stunning projects.

Field Operations Manager: Brey Ostoff
I have always enjoyed working with my hands and letting my imagination create one of a kind masterpieces. In 2009, I graduated with a degree in Building Construction from Lake Superior College. From there, my career led me into both residential and commercial carpentry work consisting of single family homes, four hundred unit apartments, and even seventeen story high rise condos. Bringing my knowledge and experience acquired over the last 15 years, I would love to help make your building dreams a reality.
