Hi, I’m Tate Schrantz
I'm Tate Schrantz, owner of Schrantz Home Improvement and a licensed builder serving the Twin Cities area. As a Minnesota native, I bring both local knowledge and technical expertise to every project.
After graduating from the University of Minnesota with my chemical engineering degree in 2016, I spent several years working at the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. In 2021, I left this role to travel the country with my now-wife Ellie during her time as a travel nurse.
Our "van life" era gave me the opportunity to explore my passion for carpentry—reading extensively about woodworking techniques, volunteering with Habitat for Humanity, and participating in a historical porch restoration at Camp Holden Village in Washington State.
While we were in Burlington, Vermont, I began taking on professional carpentry jobs, including porch rebuilds and staircase projects. These experiences confirmed my love for working with wood and creating lasting improvements to homes.
When Ellie and I decided to settle back in Minnesota, I committed fully to my carpentry career by studying for and securing my Minnesota Builder's License (#BC800780). Today, I live in Arden Hills and have a special passion for working on historic homes throughout St. Paul and the surrounding communities
I bring my engineering background and hands-on experience to every project, focusing on quality craftsmanship and solutions tailored to each client's unique space.
