EDITOR’S LETTER

Old homes

MADE EVEN BETTER In this, my last issue as editor of the Remodelers Showcase Guidebook, I want to say thank you for reading and touring over the years and I hope you’ll continue to make the Remodelers Showcase a destination every spring and fall. While I’ve been involved with the Parade of Homes for over 30 years, the Remodelers Showcase was new to me when I joined BATC in 1999. And while I love new homes, seeing how professional remodelers can transform the region’s older housing stock is truly amazing to me.

Wendy Danks // Parade of Homes sm Editor

Happy Touring!

I’ve always had a love affair with older homes, the character, the style, the history. I remember two older “estates” I passed on my way to grade school that always intrigued me. One had the traditional liontopped brick pedestals and tall stone fence all the way around—making it oh-so mysterious and the source of plenty of speculation as to what really went on behind those walls. The other was a yellow gothicflavored three-story that I just knew had to be haunted. I’d love to see what a talented remodeler could make of those homes.

ON SOCIAL:

#YourDreamHome #YourHomeYourWay #RemodelersShowcase

Today, I still love driving through older neighborhoods (there are some beauties in Detroit Lakes and Fargo that I got to check out this summer). And of course, having owned homes

both new and old, I can attest that remodeling can make an old home live like it’s brand new! Remodeling can also make your home more livable as you age. Aging-in-Place is a relatively new specialty, so take a minute to read more about it on page 24. We explore how design and the right products can make life oh-so-mucheasier for those of us whose joints just don’t work like they used to. Having a baby is another life change that initiates lots of remodeling. Our cover story shows how a professional remodeling designer transformed an older rambler into a perfect family two-story for her, her husband and their new baby. Check out our other “real family” articles that share the remodeling adventures of several families. And, if you’re just starting to explore remodeling, make sure to read our Seven Steps to Hiring the Right Remodeler (page 45). Then head on out to visit several of the 64 remodeled homes on tour this fall. We’ve got plenty of bedrooms and baths, kitchens, additions, porches, lower levels, family rooms and more to show you. Our remodelers and the families who open their doors to show off their “new” homes will be thrilled you did!

Kerri, Camryn (12), Josh (14), and Scott Carlson

A Lake Home with a Colorado Twist After a major remodel and two earlier, smaller projects, the Carlson family’s home has now become their ideal lakeside retreat. It exudes the intimate, rustic warmth of a Colorado mountain lodge while taking full advantage of lake views and fun, with its oversized windows and easy lake access. The best aspects of this right-sized home may be that there are enough functional places to live, play and study. “We call it urban rustic,” said Scott Carlson, with a nod to Colorado skiing trips and a desire for sleek function. Scott and Kerri, and kids Josh, 14, and Camryn, almost 12, love both winter and

summer sports on Prior Lake. “Seven years ago we had a larger home, but we didn’t need that much space and really wanted a home on the lake,” said Kerri. “The remodeling of this home started, like it often does, to solve a problem,” Scott said. “So we built a bonus room above the garage for spaces for the kids. Then we needed an updated mud room and a laundry with storage for things like Josh’s downhill racing skis. Mark Williams was great on these projects and with that level of trust over seven years, we knew his company could help us create and remodel the rest of the home.” “One of our challenges,” said Kerri, “was creating a dedicated study space. The step-down sunroom is spacious enough to incorporate a computer and study area, and at the same time it is the portal to the outside, with tile flooring instead of a sandy carpet. There’s cabinet storage for ice skates and boots, too.”

September 29–October 1, 2017 | Friday–Sunday 12–6pm

“

Mark Williams was great on these projects and with that level of trust over seven years, we knew his company could help us create and remodel the rest of the home.”

The rustic mountain inspirations include knotty alder wood cabinetry, barnwood ceiling beams and beautifully varied barnwood panels that surround the floor-toceiling stone fireplace. The large windows bring a new dimension of height to the nine-foot walls.

BEFORE

The urban feel is enhanced by decluttering, a turquoise kitchen backsplash, and large stainless steel sink along with unique lighting accents. The Carlsons said the numerous Parade of Homes tours they visited were always a source of ideas. “In the summer, we’re always outside,” said Kerri. “In the winter we’re in the kitchen.” In the kitchen, storage spaces hide appliances. A walnut butcher block-topped island extends into the dining room. The sink with azure tile backsplash is now under a generous lake-facing window.

BEFORE

Given the Carlson’s love of 4th of July entertaining, Scott said there was a push to get everything done in time. Mark Williams’s crew went the extra mile to ensure the family could be in and able to have friends and family enjoy lakeside relaxation over the 4th.

Jerry and Elaine

Translating the Art of French Country Living When you come upon a charming French country cottage-style home at the end of a half mile-long driveway, it seems you’re in the European countryside. Picture the sweeping gables and cedar shake roof of a vintage cottage. The exterior is stucco and stone with window shutters, copper chimney caps and gutters. So welcome to Farmington, where a new, whole house teardown is set on 85 rural acres.

Jerry and Elaine loved their country setting but the house needed repairs, and they had thought of moving the master bedroom to the first floor. The remodeling challenges were numerous, so they decided to tear down the existing house. Using the current foundation, they wanted the new home to spread out while allowing a smaller lower level. And even there, a stone wine cellar is tucked under the stairs. “We wanted to stay here for the foreseeable future with accessible living space. It’s wonderfully spacious yet intimate,” said Elaine. With enough bedrooms for three grown children when they visit, this home’s unique appeal is how it accommodates the couple’s own wish lists. There’s the kitchen Elaine loves to cook and entertain in without bumping into people. The brass range hood is repeated in textured brass countertops and island, and

Treasured Spaces Story By Joan Knight

there’s a pantry that reflects nostalgia for her mother and grandmother, where she has painted one of their recipe cards. There’s a third floor yoga room and second floor craft room that can each accommodate a bunch of friends. And a spacious bonus room above the garage is Jerry’s man cave, with all the amenities and comforts including a men’s bathroom, bar, pool table area, lounge and TV. Even the family dog has his own wash area in the garage. “The home we have now is more than I ever imagined,” said Elaine. “Josh Carlson, Treasured Spaces, is a talented perfectionist and yet he was flexible. He’d say, ‘We can make that work.’ When we wanted to make a change in the architect’s original plan he went further and suggested we utilize the extra space created by an expanded roof line.” CONTINUED ON PAGE 16

“

The home we have now is more than I ever imagined” Elaine and Jerry knew Josh’s level of work personally when they remodeled an office space. Then Josh removed and replaced an old barn roof on their property, a project that certainly deserves merits. The home took shape as a true collaboration. The couple knew they wanted a screen porch, and this one is a dream, with travertine tile and white oak floors that flow through the patio and deck, on one level. Josh’s ideas led to an all-season space with a wood-burning fireplace, mini-split a/c, heated floors and a huge wall of windows with Phantom Screens. Whether the crickets sing or the snow flies, you are surrounded by the scene, at home in the country.

Curtis (13), Audrey (8), Jason, Karsten, and Andrew (11) Knudsen Julkowski, Inc. Story By Joan Knight

A Modern Craftsman Transformation for Five What a difference a few months make. When the Knudsens decided to remodel the first floor of their 70s modified split level, they had never seriously considered moving to a different home, but wanted a transformation. “We love the neighborhood and the neighbors,” said Jason Knudsen. “And both of our parents live close by.” Jason and Karsten decided now, not when Curtis, age 13, Andrew, age 11 and Audrey, age 8, were ready to leave the nest. “We want our family to enjoy the house now, and it really functions for everybody,” he said. Karsten and Jason knew they’d all be living day in and day out with the remodeler they chose. “When we talked to several remodelers, the real stand-out factor was the rapport we felt with James Julkowski,” said Karsten, “and it was

www.ParadeofHomes.org

great to have Rachel Julkowski work with us as the designer.” The look they were after was a modern Craftsman style, including some exterior accents along with new windows throughout, roof, gutters and siding. The transformed main level has brought a clean sweep of old barrier railings and walls for completely open spaces and a level floor where there had been a sunken living room. A modern accent wall that extends through the kitchen and across the dining room is an instant wow factor, achieved in a multi-step

layered acrylic/plaster process and finally, a wax coating. A glass backsplash over the sink protects the artful wall and gives it dimension. Contrasting oak, cherry and poplar woods in flooring, custom cabinetry, trim and doors bring warmth and function to this modern Craftsman style. And a wonderful armoire-like entry closet with bench and facing display cabinet define the foyer. Of course, action revolves around the kitchen, which is now open to the living and dining

areas. It boasts great appliances and a cooktop on the multi-function island. The artfully lit storage and display cabinetry is as functional as it is stylish.

BEFORE

Jason reflects that they appreciated a reliable timeline, and the fact that the Julkowski team made the process as easy and flexible as possible, even with challenges in the sub flooring when the floor was leveled. “The team was so accommodating to the family,” said Jason. “Our dog is a curious West Highland terrier who wanted to be with them when he had a chance, and they were happy to have him.”

COMING TOGETHER TO SHOWCASE

CAREERS IN CONSTRUCTION Thousands of high-paying jobs in the construction industry are available or will open up in the near future. These diverse opportunities are often left unfilled, as roughly 70 percent of high school students will attend college. Yet some 30 percent will drop out in the first year, and even more students will leave after the second year.

Thus, a sizeable number of our youth find themselves out of college with student debt and an uncertain future. Even for those who do finish a degree, many find that their major isn’t their passion. Those who enjoy working with their hands and building things feel stuck, because learning and mastering a trade has fallen out of favor. Project Build Minnesota aims to change that. Project Build Minnesota is an industry-wide effort led in part by the Parade of Homes, Housing First Minnesota, and the Builders Association of the Twin Cities to remind Minnesota’s young adults and their parents, teachers, and counselors that construction work is a noble, exciting way to build communities and shape people’s lives. Plus, work in the construction industry offers strong financial support—

Parade of Homes Remodelers Showcase®

the average construction worker in Minnesota makes $61,000 annually. Construction remains one of the last “made in America” professions, providing a refreshing alternative to uncertain postgraduation prospects. The construction industry offers a wide variety of career opportunities, from skilled labor (carpenters, electricians, plumbers, masons) to engineering, design, sales and marketing, management, accounting, human resources and more. To learn more about careers in construction or support your community, please check out the BATC job bank linked from the resources section of the Parade of Homes website (paradeofhomes.org), and visit Project Build Minnesota’s website, projectbuildmn.com.

SAVING FOR A DOWN PAYMENT JUST GOT

(

The American Dream of homeownership just became a bit easier to achieve in Minnesota. Prompted by Minnesota REALTORS® and Housing First Minnesota, the Minnesota legislature this year adopted a new law creating the First-Time Homebuyer Savings Account. Start saving today and deduct 100 percent of your interest earned from your Minnesota taxes. The Minnesota REALTORS and Housing First Minnesota launched the Minnesota Homeownership Initiative designed to help builders produce safe, durable homes at a price people can afford in communities they love. The First-Time Homebuyers Savings Account was a key element of the initiative and was authored by Rep. Greg Davids (Preston) and Sen. Karin Housley (St. Mary’s Point).

First-Time Homebuyer Savings Account signed into law in Minnesota DETAILS FOR THE NEW LAW ARE: • Parents or grandparents can set up an account AND receive a deduction from their own state taxes • Individuals can deposit money annually into a FDIC-insured savings account

• The account can be opened at any Minnesota bank or credit union • Contributions to the account receive a state tax deduction on interest earned. Individuals can deposit up to $14,000 annually, while married joint filers can deposit up to $28,000 per year

• The plan applies to firsttime homebuyers and those re-entering the housing market, if they have not owned a home within three years • Effective for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2016

AGE IN PLACE

No Place Like Home (If You Plan for Growing Older) Story By Carla Waldemar

PLEKKENPOL BUILDERS, INC.

You love it. So why leave it? Your home is where your heart is; your neighborhood, the place you want to be. Perhaps you’ve already added a porch or family room or freshened up the kitchen, so you’re no stranger to the benefits of remodeling. Now’s the time—whether you’re 35 or 75—to score some easy steps that will allow you to age in place. (That’s remodel-speak for staying put just where you yearn to be.) “It’s a growing market as baby boomers age,” says Pete Jacobson, President of Stay at Home, a division of Lake Country Builders. But, as Sue Jacobson is quick to add, “The public’s mindset still tends to be, ‘I’m active, I’m healthy; I don’t need to worry about that yet.’” Her response: “When doing other remodeling, why not incorporate universal design features? They’re good for everybody and should be in all design.” Right: What young mom, balancing a laundry basket on one hip and a toddler on the other, wouldn’t appreciate UD’s recommended 40-inch hallway width 24

rather than the standard 36, plus wider doorways? Doors that open with the gentle push of a handle rather than firm grip on a knob. And the list goes on. “We make those suggestions. We listen to a client’s needs and offer ideas, then engage them in the design process,” Pete said. “Maybe even convert a family room to a master bedroom on the main floor.” Jim Kuzzy, project manager for Plekkenpol Builders, agrees. “The typical home in Edina is two-story with a half-bath on the main September 29–October 1, 2017 | Friday–Sunday 12–6pm

floor, no laundry and a detached garage. Our clients love their neighborhood, so we can help them stay put with features like redesigning the entry to hold a washer/ dryer or stack them in an existing closet. We can widen halls and doorways to accommodate a future wheelchair.” “Most commonly, we remodel the bathroom. Out goes the tub, replaced by a generous shower with grab bars and no curb. Safety is primary,” he reinforces. “So, remove door thresholds, replace carpet with a hard surface, and change faucet handles to push levers, or even electric eye (like in airports).” Oh, wait: Did you say ‘grab bars’? Shudder! Well, listen to Jolynn Johnson, owner of Crystal Kitchen Center. “Ten years ago they were ugly, commercial-looking. Now, they’re just beautiful—for instance, a toilet paper holder or towel rack as grab bar in many designs and colors.” “In the bathroom, the big thing is safety,” she said. “Like a curbless shower: just roll in. When planning for a wheelchair, make room for a 90-degree turn. Allow room to a side of the toilet to pull over for a side straddle. My mom deals with some incontinence, so she’s installed a washlet in the toilet to fend

AGE IN PLACE off bladder infections. Also, heated floors for folks that, getting older, suffer tingly hands and feet when cold. Even little stuff, like a mirror that tilts downward.” In both bath and kitchen, these remodelers strongly lobby for installing cabinets off the floor to allow for a wheelchair. They also recommend adjusting the height of cabinets, washers, dryers and dishwashers to eliminate bending. Stay at Home’s Jacobson suggests removing the middle three feet of, say, an eight-foot counter so a wheelchair can roll right in. Also, an induction cooktop which won’t start a fire if accidentally left on. Buttons to open cabinet doors, with shelves that move down. “Even fun things,” adds Johnson, “like wastebaskets that just need a bump to open.”

Improved lighting is vital, all agree. Kuzzy emphasized improving kitchen lighting and adding LED lights under cabinets. And lighting of different types—“both overhead and task-focused,” suggests Cherie Poissant, design consultant for Murphy Bros. Remodeling. “Add color or variations in surfaces to delineate features like stairs to aid failing eyesight … nothing that makes a big cost difference, just design it in,” the Jacobsons said. “Many things can be done to existing homes without lots of time or effort to improve livability, and at little cost. It’s cheaper to remodel and stay in your home for a few more years than to transfer to an assisted-living facility,” Kuzzy added. And lots more fun!

10 Simple Universal Design Tips (source: Centrex/Access solutions)

1. Grab bars 2. Raised height of toilet seat 3. Lever handles 4. Railings at stairs 5. Lighting 6. Contrast at stairs 7. Neutralize thresholds 8. Easy access to kitchen storage 9. Adjustable hand-held shower 10. Easy access to closet storage

A Happy Client An 80-something widow with macular degeneration had scheduled some long-overdue maintenance with Murphy Bros. and decided to add age-in-place features in conjunction with the project. Travertine tile and hardwood made floors safer. In her bathroom, she added a walk-in tub, which required opening up a wall to maneuver it into place. This homeowner was overjoyed with the added light this produced in an adjacent dining space, so kept it open, adding a display shelf of tempered glass as backing. “It turned out lovely,” she underscores.

Wayzata Workover A recent widow—a past client of Lake Country—wished to remodel her kitchen to lift her morale. Judy, of Wayzata, has a lovely home, but its attached garage was, as she recoils, “pretty icky.” Her plan was to replace it with a modern kitchen—one outfitted to age in place. Her new cabinets feature accommodation for a possible future wheelchair—“lots of swing space”—and close with just a light touch. Washer and dryer have been moved to the main level. All lighting is new (the garage had none), including hanging lights over the huge central island. Those on the stairs to the driveway operate via an automatic motion detector. The front door formerly opened onto a large step over the threshold—a hazard Stay at Home, a division of Lake Country, her

remodeler, eliminated. “It’s very nice now,” she attests. “The new front stoop has a railing on one side and an attached bar on the other wall.” Grab bars, levered handles and a newly-comfy toilet seat enhance the powder room she’s added in the former garage, Judy love-love-loves the in-floor heating in the mud room section, thanks to a furnace installed in crawl space. But her biggest treat is—wait for it—an elevator. It shuttles the four feet between kitchen and driveway, freeing her from lugging groceries up and trash receptacles down, and perhaps a wheelchair in the distant future. How happy is she with the quality, thought and thoroughness of the work accomplished? “Pretty darn much!” she testifies.

REMODEL CRYSTAL KITCHEN CENTER 8001 – 38 ½ Avenue, New Hope Whole House Remodel • With good bones, this average mid-century rambler was stripped down to the studs and reconfigured with a number of aging-in-place features like zero-threshold, hard-surface floors, 36-inch wide doors, and a shower equipped with grab bars, hand-held shower head, bench and no-curb entry • Originally with three bedrooms on the main level, the remodel retained the master bedroom intact but turned the other two bedrooms into a grand master closet and truly amazing bath • The richly equipped kitchen moved to the rear of the home, adding Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances plus bumping the countertop height a couple inches to be more comfortable for the tall couple

After almost two decades in the exurbs, this remodeler/designer decided it was time to skip the commute while finding a home that would work for gracefully aging in place. Spying a 1961 rambler just three blocks from the office was step one. Step two was renovating it to become the perfect “last” home. • Next, the kitchen, dining and living rooms were opened up to create a modern great room, perfect for dining, TV watching and conversation

• The original 1.5-inch red oak floors were in great shape so just needed to lace in and add on to extend throughout the main level except for laundry and bath

• With just one bedroom on the main floor, egress windows were added to the lower level to ensure two more bedrooms (one as guest bedroom, the second for exercise) plus a large office/train and dark room for the remodeler’s photographer husband

• Floating shelves were designed with puck lighting and individual electrical outlets to assure a place to display a variety of lighted and very treasured Christmas decorations

• Eschewing the popular gray color scheme, the interior style started with favorite wood stone white marble tile and white gloss/natural walnut cabinets which naturally embraced a rich chocolate brown and white color scheme throughout

What happens when a top custom design builder gets tasked with adding a sport court to a distinctive Wayzata home? The family gains a beautiful new bonus room, an inspired second-story bridge, plus an amazing sport court that will keep the homeowners’ two sons primed for the big game year-round.

• The new connection created an arched bridge beneath, allowing for a grand entrance to the spacious backyard while serving as a focal point to the home’s entry • The cavernous sport court includes dual basketball hoops, ensuring both boys can practice their shots unhindered or challenge each other to an aggressive one-on-one game • Brilliantly contrasting the bright white walls and ceiling against the 10-inch Southern Yellow Pine hardwood floors, the new bonus room stuns as a soon-to-be entire family retreat

WHAT WE'VE BUILT The charitable arm of the Builders Association of the Twin Cities, the BATC Foundation/ Home Aid Twin Cities, has been building, remodeling and repairing homes for those in need for over 20 years, with a special focus on veterans and homelessness. We partner with other nonprofit organizations to turn the natural generosity of our builders, remodelers and suppliers into dreams come true. Thank you for supporting our work. Keep reading to learn about our most recent projects. When you visit a BATC Foundation Artisan Dream Home, your $5 dollar contribution helps to provide new construction for families and organizations.

A Special Space for Rachel Rachel’s world had consisted of hospitals (her longest stay was 86 days!), doctors and multiple surgeries after experiencing a series of health events two years ago. She was diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease and a type of malformation of the spine that has left her homebound much of the time. One of the things that got Rachel through the difficult times was her love for creating art. She spent long hours in their home’s unfinished basement working on her projects. This spring, in partnership with local charity, Special Spaces, and Build Partner, Ispiri, we renovated the basement to create a bright and cheery new space designed to inspire her creativity.

Expanding a Group Home We also have undertaken a project in conjunction with the Saint Michael Foundation, a charitable organization established to provide financial and educational assistance to individuals with developmental delays. The focus is on helping these people build life-long relationships and work on their life skills in the process. The St. Michael Foundation operates a group home in St. Michael which houses four young people with special needs. After seeing the work the BATC Foundation did expanding a group home operated by Homeward Bound in 2016, the St. Michael Foundation asked us to do something similar to provide much-needed space for these young people to better enjoy their home life.

Lennar and its many trade partners have built a stunning fivebedroom residence to help veteran families transition from homelessness

A New Home for Veteran Families Helping veterans is one of The BATC Foundation’s favorite things to do; this time we’re partnering with the Minnesota Assistance Council for Veterans (MACV). For over 25 years, this extraordinary organization has been assisting veterans who are homeless. They currently operate more than a dozen homes for single adults across the state while offering a variety of comprehensive services to help these men and women move ahead with their lives. The project, an accessible, high-tech single-family home designed and

constructed by our Build Partner, Lennar, will be MACV’s first to provide housing for veteran families. We invite you to tour during this Fall’s Parade of Homes. The home will be owned and operated by MACV, and will become a haven for veteran-headed families for many years to come. While in the home, residents will work with MACV case managers who give homeless veterans the support and confidence to once again find success for brighter futures.

Technology for Better Living The new MACV home will become the first of Lennar’s homes in Minnesota to be built as a Wi-Fi Certified Home DesignTM home. This means every corner of every room will be covered wirelessly, with no dead spots. Whether you stream videos in the rec room, research a school paper in the family loft, listen to Pandora in the kitchen, or check who is at the front door on your smartphone via your video security, there’s never a worry about access here. www.ParadeofHomes.org

YOUR REMODEL There are plenty of reasons to remodel an older home—modernizing living spaces, replacing antiquated products, refreshing finishes, adding needed square footage to name just a few. But no matter why you plan to remodel, if you’re interested in saving on energy bills every month while reducing your environmental footprint, you should consider a green certification from Minnesota’s Green Path. Studies show that homes with green certifications sell faster and at a premium over homes without. The local MLS agrees and added green certification to their listings several years ago.

Alex McClesky

Chris Norton

[Installer, Cambria]

[Finish Carpenter, Niemela Construction]

Alex has been working in the industry for a little under one year. In his current role he installs countertops that bring homes to life. Once he decided he was ready to get started in the trades, residential construction seemed like the perfect step. Alex loves that every day at his job is something new. Something different. “It’s always new. Always going new places, seeing new things, different job sites and people,” Alex said. He’s received plenty of on-the-job training, which has continued to spark his interest in advancing in the industry and becoming a lead installer. His advice for anyone thinking of getting started in the industry? “Just work hard and try your best. You’ll go far.”

Chris has been working in construction for more than 18 years. He has a passion for the industry and has worked both framing houses and doing finish carpentry. He started his career building custom homes out in Montana, learning as he went along. He moved back home to Minnesota where he shifted from framing houses to finish carpentry. The construction industry has such a wide variety of positions to choose from, you can really find your perfect niche. “I liked finish carpentry a lot more. There’s more detail and more custom work,” he explained. Chris encourages anyone who’s thinking about the trades to give them a try. “It’s a neat trade, especially on the custom side of it. There’s lots of detailed work,” he said. “If you take a lot of pride in your work, it’s very rewarding.”

who worked in carpentry for more than 25 years. Edwin knew as soon as he finished high school that he wanted to go into the trades.

He loves working as a tile setter because he gets to work with his hands and stay active all day. “You really learn by doing,” he explained. “You watch and learn and then you can dive in and get the feel of it for yourself.” Jake takes pride in being able to look back on a portfolio of his work and see all that he’s accomplished. “It’s nice to be able to step back and see a finished product of something that you created by hand,” he said. “It’s very rewarding that way.”

Being a part of an industry the helps people fulfill the American dream has been rewarding for Edwin. “You get a sense of accomplishment. You can take a bit of pride in seeing a job well done when you’re finished,” he said. Edwin emphasized that good work ethic is crucial in the trades, but the payoff is well worth it. For Edwin, he knew he was meant to be out working with his hands and creating something new each day. “It’s the chance to stay active. I think I’d go a little crazy if I had to sit in the office,” he said. “You get a bit of variety and a change of scenery which keeps it interesting.”

Justin Sarff [Installer, Cambria]

Justin has been with Cambria for six years. His job as an installer keeps him busy and allows him to work with the best group of people he could imagine. “In any industry the work is going to be the work, but the people are what make the work great,” Justin said. He loves his job because he’s able to manage so many different aspects of the projects he works on. “It’s fun to get to go into a project and manage your time, manage the guys and make sure everything’s done right,” he explained. He has a positive attitude with every new project he takes on and enjoys the complexities of getting things just right on a job site. He recommends shadowing someone in the industry to get a feel for what the job really entails. “Going to school is so much different than being out in the field. Once you find a field you like—plumbing, HVAC, carpentry—find a mentor and then stick with them,” said Justin. “They can really direct you in the right direction.”

Don’t Let Just Anyone

Remodel Your Home We’ve all heard the stories. A family pays thousands of dollars to a “remodeler” but ends up with a missing contractor and either nothing to show for it, or even worse, a partially demolished home. Whether you’re ready to remodel to make your home suit your needs today or you need to repair/ replace components that have worn out or were damaged by a storm, make sure you choose a professional who belongs to their industry association. Hiring a professional remodeler will ensure that your remodeling process will run more smoothly and your renovated home will perform better, look better and definitely

live better. How can you tell a professional remodeler from a fly-by-night grifter? Start by checking that the company is an actual business, and carries an up-to-date contractor license or is registered by the state. Another smart move is to choose a company that is a member of professional organizations like the Builders Association of the Twin Cities or NARI (National Association of the Remodeling Industry). These firms will have licenses when required, access to the resources they need to do good work, and in most cases, signed ethics agreements about how they do business.

FOUR

Check that the contractor is licensed or registered in Minnesota. Contractor license and registration oversight is through the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry. Use their quick license lookup tool to confirm the company you’re interviewing is licensed and has no complaints against them.

Discuss payment carefully. When a company insists on payment up front, think twice before hiring them.

Check online that the company is an actual business (a PO Box for their business address is a cue to dig deeper). The Minnesota Secretary of State provides a quick lookup tool

Only do business with an actual contract in hand, and read it carefully. These days, doing business on a handshake isn’t always wise.

(https://mblsportal.sos.state. mn.us/Business/Search).

(https://secure.doli.state.mn.us/ lookup/licensing.aspx)

FIVE Make sure the firm you hire pulls a permit from your city for the work they do, and if they ask you to take this step, make sure they have a good reason.

www.ParadeofHomes.org

SIX Ask for and contact several past customers. Find out how the job went, how the customer found the company and if they would use them again.

SEVEN And, if you’re hiring a professional to repair storm damage or other problems covered by insurance, make sure any company you hire is knowledgeable about working with insurance claims. You may want to talk to your insurance agent about the company you plan to hire before signing an agreement, too.

In this contemporary kitchen, a combination of grey-stained and painted white cabinetry was incorporated with the addition of a new dry bar w/ beverage center. Banquette seating with storage was created in the four-seaon porch to improve the flow between the kitchen and dining room space while staying within the original parameters. While converting the unused formal dining room into a functional home office with custom built-ins, part of the space was reconfigured to enlarge the mud room. The expanded mud room now includes a large pantry storage closet, drop zone and shoe/coat closet.

Building Arts has recently completed a nearly total redesign and remodel of the main-level living areas of this large 1950s walkout rambler to meet the changing needs of the family, along with the addition of a beautiful insulated three-season porch room with a gas fireplace, an expansive view of the lake and a storage garage below. The remodel consists of a new kitchen with better functionality, all new fixtures and finishes and openness to the entry foyer. We redesigned two bathrooms to better serve the bedroom area and created a larger coat closet for the front entry, along with very nicely updated fixtures and finishes.

Functional and modest topped the list of must-haves for this White Bear Lake family’s busy lifestyle. The main floor renovation included a spacious new kitchen with a large center island. Existing wood floors were refinished, doorways and walls were rearranged off the garage entry to incorporate a larger laundry and new mud room. By eliminating a corner fireplace and vaulted ceiling in the dinette, a new beverage center was added to the space and additional bedroom was added to the second floor. Along with the extra bedroom upstairs, the kid’s bath was transformed into a sleek and hip bathroom with a new double vanity.

Otter Lake Rd.

The goal for this remodel was to create an open floor plan and improve the circulation of this 70s-style rambler. The compartmentalized home was opened up by removing walls between rooms and a better flow was created by reorganizing the spaces. Additional square footage was gained by reclaiming space formerly used for storage and constructing a small addition to connect the spaces. New elements include a custom kitchen, mud room and office with features such as hardwood floors, fireplace, lighting and an updated deck.

Ash St. Otter Lake Rd.

When our homeowners purchased their lake home in 2016, it felt like a blast from the past. Many would have been nervous to embark on this journey, but not this couple! We started with their master suite in January. This was their first chance to witness the Posch Builders approach. They were so impressed with the entire experience and outcome, that we were commissioned to rebuild and redesign the main floor, loft and front and rear facades. Beautiful shiplap, stunning lighting and more! Come see how this dated home has been totally transformed and found a new identity with a more modern aesthetic. You won’t be disappointed!

Finch Ct.

We demolished the old deck to allow for an addition to the kitchen and a new deck. The kitchen was a complete gut so we removed the existing masonry fireplace to allow for a direct vent gas fireplace. A new Marvin 12' x 8' French patio door was installed creating so much natural light! We did waterfall granite on the island which also has a floating walnut table attached to it. We have some built-in storage on each side of the fireplace as well as bench and cubby storage. Two walls in the kitchen cabinets are floor to ceiling storage! This is a very high end kitchen remodel that you'll have to see to believe!

This entire home had been transformed. What was once a smaller three-bedroom rambler with a detached garage, is now a beautiful farmhouse-inspired home with expanded spaces and new everything! We built a new attached two-car+ garage with a huge bonus room above and and additional bedroom in the lower level. We enlarged the living room/dining room area and added a new mud room within the new addition. We remodeled the master and main bathrooms, family room and installed all new doors, millwork and a fireplace. Come check it out!

This late 1990s home was in desperate need of updating and redesign. The space was cramped, worn and dated. The wall separating the KT and FR was removed to allow for an open concept that created a true GR that the family could grow into. Taking advantage of the existing architectural details of the vaulted ceiling was a high priority. New character grade white oak flooring stretches throughout the new space. The focal point of the space is the FPL wall. The tapered chimney chase soars nearly 16 feet and is finished in white shiplap paneling, complementing the reclaimed wood and stone. This is truly a must see transformation. I-694 to 10th Street N.; east on 10th Street N. to Heron Avenue N.; south on Heron Avenue N.; home will be on the left.

These empty nesters are ready to enjoy their new kitchen. With downsizing and resale on their minds, this couple wanted to be careful not to over-invest. The existing footprint was maximized to create more storage and a clever work space. A wall was peeled back to create an open feel and a larger entertaining space. The lighting was updated throughout the space and new under cabinet lighting brings warm, ambient light into the kitchen. Contrasting moldings and a new tile backsplash round out this kitchen to make it a perfect fit for this couple. Join us this Saturday at 3:00pm for our free Trends & Spends seminar!

There were too many cooks in this chef-themed kitchen and the owners craved better workflow, storage and visual appeal. The design started with moving the refrigerator closer to the work area and replacing the freestanding range with a cooktop and a wall oven/ microwave combo. Visual appeal and increased storage capacity was achieved in lighter-colored enameled cabinets, hidden storage areas, and the addition of a large black, distressed enamel specialty cabinet. Black granite countertops with a leathered finish were added for dimension and texture. Don’t miss this realistic solution for a real kitchen, fit for every cook!

They desired an updated KT and an open floor plan that would maximize space; including the unused formal DR. After combining three separate rooms into one large GR that spans the rear of the home, the result is a bright, modern and functional KT and living area.

Please join us for a tour of JP&CO’s truly special Rutledge Cottage, a grand and untouched 1940s post war rambler, transformed into an ideal family home. The house already had character: original stonework, crown molding and hardwood floors we brought back to life. We then tastefully added an addition to create a stylish kitchen and second floor with kid’s suite, loft, laundry and master suite. The home is nestled on a 1/3-acre lot with a beautiful wooded backdrop. The entire property was touched to create a stunning renovation.

We love when a past client purchases a new home that needs renovating! Our clients wanted to take this 1920s home and make it their own by updating the kitchen and first floor. During demolition, we uncovered some surprises that could not be altered or removed. The first design was great, but our redesign is even better! Come and see our great redesign and quality construction that Knight Construction Design is known for!

A custom built Tudor home nestled into a private lot of Southwest Minneapolis. At 1,250 square feet per floor, this home was designed with an open concept, three bedrooms and a detached garage. We are featuring "Old World" details in a new home with architectural style and design, stucco exterior, custom millwork, cabinetry and built-ins. The lower level is finished with a 3/4-bath, family room, bedroom and exercise room. The outside has plenty of green space and a patio for entertaining and relaxation.

The homeowners loved the location of their small Cape Cod home in Edina, but they didn’t love the limited space it gave them. They asked Anchor Builders to retain the original 1940s character of the home while providing additional space for modern amenities. Anchor’s design-build process resulted in a 10’ addition to accommodate a new kitchen, mud room and pantry, along with an expanded dining and family room. The 1/2 story above was replaced with a full 2nd level, including 3 BRs, 2 BAs and a laundry room. With a classy monotone exterior and welcoming front porch, this remodel is a refined example of a transitional style home.

When the homeowners first purchased this home it was their intent to remodel the KT. Wooden Dreams developed several plans to enlarge and open the KT, however other areas of the house needed to be addressed first. Wooden Dreams remodeled the exterior and both second floor BAs over several years. Finally, it was time to address the KT. A small bump out at the rear of the house as well as space from an adjoining room gave the homeowners everything they wanted. The basement was remodeled to include a BR, BA and laundry room. Custom cabinets, Carrara marble countertops and Marvin windows complete this transformation.

Welcome to our SuiteHaus, a 1926 Craftsman bungalow that’s entirely renovated for modern living within the historical footprint. We've carefully rebuilt the entire home to "nearly new" while preserving much of the original woodwork and flooring. The living, dining room and kitchen were converted to one large area with a gourmet kitchen. The two original main floor bedrooms and bathroom were converted to one master suite with a walk-in closet. The basement was finished with a media room, bedroom, bathroom, laundry and “TapHaus.” The attic is now an open office loft and guest bedroom. Come visit this cozy cottage in the city!

If you can't go out, then go up, which is what we did here. We placed a second floor on top of an existing first floor to create a spacious master suite. This addition looks like it has always been here. The master suite includes large walk-in closet and many windows. The master BA has higher-end finishes such as Vicostone tops, custom shower, heated floors and classic tile work. All the custom millworks including vanities, moldings, trim, doors and a hallway armoire are designed and built in our own facility. All millworks are the same era of architecture. We also remodeled a BA for the children. It too has high-end finishes. Crosstown 62 to 34th Ave. S.; north to 51st St.; east to 39th Ave.; north to home.

Welcome to this modern farmhouse in the city! A growing family was cramped in this tiny bungalow. The answer? Pop the top and go up. A modern 3-BR second floor shares space w/a family-sized BA and an office area while a reconstructed BR and new full-BA on the first floor create an owner’s oasis. An additional first floor BR was sacrificed for more living space. The main floor updates were accomplished while maintaining the integrity of the recently remodeled KT. A new front porch for outdoor entertaining completes the package. Modernism drove the spatial design while farmhouse details helped maintain the budget. Come join us!

It’s sad to see a beautiful historic home fall into such disrepair. Years of neglect and past remodeling mistakes left this 1926 home in need of … well, everything. Starting with some inspired and thoughtful design, the crew at Barton Construction Services began the process of renovating this stunning neighborhood gem. Every room on 4 finished levels was completely transformed; from the new Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) in the LL to the secret attic BR and BA. Further “surprises” await in the historic new kitchen and mudroom or the new master BR / BA with a Romeo & Juliet balcony. Truly a unique and exciting property.

This charming one-and-one-half story home in the Waite Park neighborhood of the popular Northeast Minneapolis area, was built in the 1950s. When finished, the home will don a new roof and new windows. A new cedar entry and stoop will welcome visitors at the front of the house. A 12’ x 18’ addition in the back of the home will create space for a new eat-in kitchen while the pre-existing kitchen will be transformed into a pantry and mud room. This remodel is a wonderful representation of how to update a quaint starter home by bringing the house to a current look all the while maintaining its original character.

Our client wished to transform their home into a memory-making destination for future generations. We removed a wall between the kitchen and dining room to expand the space. The appliances and much of the cabinetry were kept, and made-to-match cabinets were added. Heated tile floors, quartz countertops and a glass tile backsplash completed this conversation-friendly kitchen. In the basement, extra original kitchen cabinets became a bar, the laundry room was relocated, and the powder room was revamped into a sleek 3/4-bath. Upstairs, the owner's suite was reconfigured, and a floating walnut double vanity was added to the bath. Xerxes Avenue south to W. 48th Street; right on York Avenue S.; home is on right.

Opening the kitchen created space for a multi-function island. Oak hardwood floors complement the warm gray cabinets and white quartz countertops. The dining room paneling was modified and a new tile floor and electrical panel enclosure was installed. The laundry room/pantry has a new luxury vinyl floor, adjustable shelving system and cabinets matching the kitchen. Modern lighting showcases the harmonious blend of new and existing elements.
