Meet REAL Home Improvements

At REAL Home Improvements, we believe in doing things the REAL way—Reliable, Ethical, Affordable, and Lasting. But the name “REAL” also comes from something even more personal: it’s made from the first names of our founders—Ray, Emily, Andrew, and Liz (yep, that’s where “REAL” comes from!).

We’re proud to call Cottage Grove, MN home—and as fellow homeowners, we get it. Your house isn’t just a building; it’s where your life happens. That’s why every project we take on—whether it’s a quick fix or a full renovation—is done with the same care and attention we’d give our own home.

Leading the way is Ray Harris, our general contractor and co-founder. As a father of three and teacher, Ray brings a unique mix of professionalism, patience, and craftsmanship to every job site.

At REAL, we keep things simple: real people, real projects, real results. Ready to get started? Let’s build something REAL together.
