More space for your life.
From simple storage solutions to fully-insulated backyard studios and ADUs — we build structures that stand up to harsh winters and serve you every season.
Most builders stop at the shell. We don't.
You need a space that's usable year-round, not just seasonally. Many storage building companies will deliver a storage unit for your lawnmower, but a backyard studio needs proper insulation, climate control, electrical, and residential-grade finishes.
We pick up where others leave off.
Your Midwest Backyard Experts
We're Minnesota residential and commercial contractors who deliver finished, move-in-ready spaces — not bare-bones kits that require months of additional work.
From simple storage sheds to fully-finished studios and ADUs, we use residential-grade materials, insulation, and complete electrical — everything you need to actually use your new space from day one.

Storage Solutions
Durable, weather-tight storage for tools, equipment, and seasonal gear.
Backyard Studios
Fully insulated, climate-controlled spaces perfect for offices, gyms, art studios, or workshops — usable year-round.
ADUs (Accessory Dwelling Units)
Complete living spaces with full plumbing, kitchen, and bath — ideal for guest houses, rentals, or multi-generational living.
Our Specialty: Backyard Studios
While we build all three tiers, our focus is on climate-controlled backyard studios — spaces that work as hard in January as they do in July.
Think: home offices, art studios, music rooms, gyms, workshops, or hobby spaces. Fully insulated, heated and cooled, with proper electrical and lighting — often at a lower cost than a home renovation. We know these numbers because we are home remodelers ourselves.
Every structure adds real, lasting value to your property — whether it's a simple storage building or a full ADU.

Every studio & ADU includes:
- Full design consultation
- Permitting & zoning management
- Climate control (mini-split for studios & ADUs)

- Fully finished floors, walls, and ceiling
Optional upgrades:

Why Midwest Accessory Structures?
Our primary goal is to guide you to make the right decision for YOU, not just sell you a structure because that's exactly the way we would treat grandma. She made such good cookies...
