WHERE DREAM HOMES COME TRUE®

Sponsored by:

The Minnesota Homeownership Initiative

Advancing Homeownership for Minnesota Families Unfortunately, the American Dream of homeownership has become more difficult for many Minnesotans. In 2016, the national home ownership rate was at a 51-year low, and at a 21-year low in Minnesota. That’s why the Builders Association of the Twin Cities has partnered with the Minnesota Association of REALTORS to create the 2017 Minnesota Homeownership Initiative. We’ve wrapped numerous pieces of legislation into this initiative, all currently in discussion at the Minnesota Legislature. All of these bills are designed to help Minnesotans fulfill their dream of homeownership.

MINNESOTA

HOME OWNERSHIP

Fact: 84% of Twin Cities residents believe that owning a home is central to the American Dream.

If you’d like to learn more, visit

www.MNHomeownership.com and call your Minnesota Legislators.

That is a huge number! Why do these people want to own a home? ONE

Homeownership strengthens communities and provides stability for families. TWO

Homeowners tend to remain in their homes longer, and help build safe and secure neighborhoods. THREE

Homeownership is essential for building long-term wealth.

ALWAYS WITH A PROFESSIONAL I just read a very sad tale about another family in Minnesota that lost thousands of dollars by hiring a fly-by-night contractor. This makes me so sad. Please, please, never give a contractor money up front without making sure they are reputable. Here are some tips: • Always check the MN Dept. of Labor and Industry website to confirm they are licensed. Just visit www.doli.state.mn.us online and click on construction codes and licensing, then onto license lookup. • Ask for and contact at least three references. When you talk to them, ask how they found the contractor, how the project went (were they on time, did they complete the job and how the experience was). Wendy Danks // Parade of Homes sm Editor

Happy Touring!

THANK YOU

to Marvin Windows and Doors for sponsoring the Spring Parade of Homes Remodelers Showcase®

• Ask if they have any professional affiliations, like being a member of our association (BATC.org) or the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARIMN.org). Check to see if they have a web presence – a website of their own, or a page on Facebook or Houzz, and if they have complaints at the Better Business Bureau. You may find that by hiring a true professional that the price is

a little higher than someone who shows up at your door, but that’s because they’re legitimate. They know what materials and labor cost, have expenses that a real business must pay (taxes, overhead, etc.) and plan to stay in business in the region so they need to keep their reputation clean.

REMODELING FACTS I hope you’ll take some time to read through our Guidebook too. If you like to know what other families are doing when they remodel, we’ve gathered some of the latest facts and figures from the Houzz Kitchen and Bath Surveys. We also have shared the remodeling experiences of several area families, including one through the eyes of Harley, the family canine. You’ll see the winners of our 2016 Remodeler of Merit competition, the companies whose work was judged the best in the eye of other remodeling professionals. And we have lots of design ideas from our style editor, Laura Marrinan. Oh, and don’t forget to check out the Event Calendar for fun, informative and often tasty events you can attend during the tour. Now, go on out and tour the work of real professional remodelers in the region!

Nestled among Minneapolis’

chain of lakes

and some of the best biking paths in the Twin Cities, Lucas and Sarah were living in their dream home. So when their family started growing they knew they had to find a way to make their space work.

Story by Laura Marrinan // Home remodeled by TJB Homes, Inc. Photography by Meghan Doll Photography

When Lucas and Sarah purchased their 1920s Bryn Mawr home in 2008 they didn’t know the neighborhood well, but they quickly fell head-over-heels in love. Adjacent to Brownie Lake and a quick bike ride from downtown, it was everything they were looking for to make the move from St. Paul to Minneapolis. The home had recently been refinished from top to bottom, but as their family expanded, the layout and space was no longer working for them. The previous owners had turned two of the bedrooms upstairs into one master suite, and the kitchen was cut off from the rest of the house. With two children, Logan (6) and Britta (4), they knew they wanted to bring back a third bedroom and open up the kitchen. For Sarah and Lucas, expanding the kitchen wasn’t just about entertaining friends. They wanted it to be a space to spend more time with their children and connect as a family. “We definitely wanted more space to entertain our friends and family, but that wasn’t our number one priority for the remodel,” Sarah explained. “It was about creating a space for our family to hang out and visit with one another.” They met with three contractors, and even contemplated doing it themselves, but eventually decided on TJB Homes, Inc. “They were upfront and honest,” Lucas said. “And once things got started, everyone was always there right on time in the mornings and gone by the time we got home.”

“

It was about creating a space for our family to hang out and visit with one another.”

“

I can hear when Logan and Britta are playing upstairs in their rooms or when they’re down in the basement. It’s just the right amount of space for us.” Sarah

“Once the right people from the city got involved things went quickly,” Lucas said. That’s when the real fun began. When it came to the design details of the kitchen, it was a real collaboration of minds. Sarah presented her ideas to Jason Budzynski at TJB, and he would design it in a way that was functional for the space. Together, they worked out the details. “I knew what I liked, and I knew what I wanted, but I just didn’t know how it would all come together,” Sarah said. “I really wanted to stay within the style of the house.” “We didn’t want a 1920s house on one side and a 2016 kitchen on the other side,” Lucas added. They focused on a design that would be functional for the active family.

The biggest hurdle Lucas and Sarah faced was working with the city to overcome zoning regulations. For 14 months the family went back and forth with the city before getting approval on their project. “We were surprised at the pushback from the city because we were staying within the character of the neighborhood,” Sarah explained. “Plus, we had so much support from our neighbors.” But they knew they wanted to stay in the neighborhood and were determined to make it work. TJB helped guide them through parts of the process, and over a year later they received a variance from the city and moved forward.

“Our other kitchen was nice, but it was too small for us. It had marble countertops, which were beautiful, but got beat up within the first year. We decided to go with quartz because it’s the style we were looking for,” Sarah said. “We wanted a countertop that would hold up with two little kids in the house.” The remodel took about 13 weeks and was right on schedule. The final project was completed in September 2016 and included an addition to expand and open the kitchen, a new mudroom, an additional bedroom upstairs and connecting the existing garage to the house. Now they have the space they need without feeling separated from one another.

I can hear when Logan and Britta are playing upstairs in their rooms or when they’re down in the basement,” Sarah said. “It’s just the right amount of space for us.” With the remodel complete, Lucas and Sarah couldn’t be happier with the results. A weight has been lifted off their shoulders and they’re finally able to relax in a space that was made for their family. “Even though it took a lot of time and energy, it was all worth it because we don’t have to think about moving anymore.” Sarah said. “Now we get to stay.”

Nick (20), Bill, Sheila, Madeleine (25) with Duffy and their new puppy AMEK Custom Builders Story By J. Knight

After the fire, a new home takes shape In May, 2015, a smoldering fire started by a toaster virtually destroyed the upper interior level of Bill and Sheila’s Edina residence. Sadly, they lost their 11-month-old Labrador puppy in the fire, but happily, their terrified Springer Spaniel, Duffy somehow survived in the lower level.

www.ParadeofHomes.org

The empty-nester couple, parents of two grown children, had recently considered downsizing. After the fire, which was brought under control by the fire department, they decided instead to rebuild and remodel from the studs out. Within days, Sheila and Bill interviewed several remodelers and the lengthy insurance process began. They chose AMEK Custom Builders to construct their “new” home, and they turned to Tom Rauscher for architectural and interior design. Everyone from friends to the builder and designer all encouraged Sheila and Bill to plunge ahead with dramatic changes. The couple moved into their totally remodeled home in September, 2016. “AMEK did just what they said they’d do, with integrity and capability,” said Bill. “Matt Schmidt said he’d attend meetings and be accessible, and he was.”

Visit this home on your tour!

“The house was 1980’s era,” said Bill. “We wanted more light and more open, informal and functional spaces.” Unnecessary walls were eliminated so spaces flowed. Rooms were flipped in location. “Working with Tom was great. His design brought the outside in with oversized casement windows and floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors to our new deck,” said Sheila. “The kitchen was relocated to the sunny southfacing side, replacing the sunken family room. A gathering room replaced the kitchen and little-used dining room. We moved the laundry room upstairs and now have a dog washing station for Duffy and our new lab puppy.” Other changes included replacing the living room with a flex room space and adding an upstairs family lounge. The light gray monochromatic wall color throughout reflects light, and contrasts with the same color in a glossy finish on custom kitchen cabinetry.

Durst & Gans Story By J. Knight

Library to Love Eleven years ago, Elliott and Stacy found a home in Bloomington, a location that seemed ideal since both of them grew up there, went to school there and is within ten minutes of where their parents live. However, this house needed updates to meet their needs and feel like home.

The typical two-story Bloomington 1970s home underwent several stages of remodeling, guided and implemented by Durst & Gans Building Corporation. Stacy and Elliott had specific ideas of what they imagined for their home, and Jim Gans listened while also offering suggestions, to ensure the remodels were compatible with their visions.

Remodeling began with a new, lightfilled addition off the back of the house with a deck nested between the side of the addition and the back of an informal dining room. Directly underneath the new room, the yard was excavated to create an additional basement storage room, requiring new grading and landscaping. Next, a new front deck, with roof

The next major project was a kitchen remodel. “The kitchen was cramped,” said Elliott. “We wanted more space for entertaining. But more importantly, we added new cabinets and designated counter space for our daughter, Emily, who has celiac disease. We also converted a seldom-used formal dining room into additional kitchen space and added a builtin buffet, hutch and breakfast bar.”

AFTER

Stacy had her own project, a reader’s dream. “I wanted a library in what had been a living room area. It is complete with builtin bookshelves that look like they belong there,” she said. “We put up a wall between this room and the old formal dining room, and built in a nook with a bench and stained-glass transom window behind it. The library also becomes a comfy place for guests to visit.” “Jim Gans helped us pull it all together, in every detail from the trim to the new closets and a new front door,” said Elliott. “We’ve put our own thumbprint on this house. It is now designed for us.”

Rick and Mary & Harley

Mid-Century Style Meets Modern Living A Dog’s Observations I’m looking out my big kitchen window for possible morning wildlife action. It’s convenient, because my bed is also in a nice nook here in the kitchen. I’m Harley, and I’m a terrier mix, adopted by Rick and Mary seven years ago. We moved into this house less than a year ago, and soon the remodeling began.

Nor-Son, Inc. Story By J. Knight

I loved our old, 20’s Craftsman house, but this house – well, it’s a 1953 spread out, sunny split-level in St. Paul with bluff views and tempting room outside to roam. My owners actually moved into this larger house after their oldest son went to college, but it really made sense because the layout is easy for living now and into the future. With remodeling, we now have a modern house and even got to stay put during the process. Mary said, “Nor-Son’s Pat Schumacher, the project manager, and Neil Ebbenga, the project supervisor on-site, were great, and Neil has been a rock star.” Neil even suggested that the wet bar be remodeled in two stages so it could serve as our temporary kitchen. The kitchen was a major project. Mary considered moving the kitchen’s location, but their architect, Scott Newland, suggested that they instead remove a wall and replace an old peninsula with a

Cambria topped island with seating. The dining room leads to the kitchen and it feels like one big space. On the other side of the house on a lower level, what was a wet bar has become a mini-kitchen. The two high school and college age boys love this. Some remodeling ideas are just brilliant. Like moving the laundry room from the lowest level of two lower levels, right next to the master bedroom, where there had been another bedroom. The sunny laundry room has lots of shelving, and there’s more storage in the remodeled master closet and the mud room, where a closet door was removed for easy access to coats and boots. This is an entertaining house! There were 200 people here, inside and out, for a shared graduation party. The best part though, is that Rick is happy to stay in St. Paul, where he grew up. And of course, I loved all the action and getting to sniff out so many new aromas during construction. And now, I’m going back to my window, I think I spy a squirrel!

PURE Design Environments Story By J. Knight

The Synergy of Luxury & Function Photography by Celine Henke

The Plymouth home that Eric and Rachael bought and remodeled had attributes that really sold them. Eric appreciates California style through his travels there, and this stunning transitional with main-level living resonated. The home is also in a great school district and offers plenty of privacy with expansive views of woods and wetland on the edge of Hollydale Golf Course.

www.ParadeofHomes.org

The couple envisioned a more open, multifunctional floor plan that would be as perfect for raising their toddler son, Ethan, as it would be for a home office, visiting parents and entertaining. Jaque Bethke, with PURE Design Environments, Inc., guided the home’s transformation. Jaque had originally designed the couple’s previous home, and they admired her talent and flair. Eric and Rachael pictured dramatic color in contrasting and dark hues as a foil for the natural light from large windows throughout. They wanted a light, bright kitchen that opened up to dining, living, play and office areas. There’s a large L-shaped island, a range with multiple burners and the dining area features a large round table for traditional Chinese dinners. Both Eric and Rachael’s parents visit from China, and love to cook even more than their children do.

Parade of Homes Remodelers Showcase®

“

Jaque was great. She worked with our budget, and offered innovative options.”

Eric Open spaces were created when walls were removed that divided living, kitchen and dining areas. A clear glass, angled half wall separates living areas from the lowerlevel staircase. Dark cherry wood floors are set off by shades of pink and purple in the living and dining area, and walls and some ceilings feature different colors and textures in layered faux painting throughout. Accents from China bring elegance, while a touch of “Vegas” appears in instantly changeable overhead and accent LED lighting. Crystal chandeliers add glam. The lower level is part Vegas, says Eric, and part guest retreat. There’s a glamorous wet bar and wine cellar, along with guest accommodations, theater/pool table and karaoke area, exercise room and lower level laundry. “Jaque was great,” said Eric. “She worked with our budget, and offered innovative options.” This design takes advantage of the home’s architecture while expressing new affinities with art and nature.

MARK D WILLIAMS CUSTOM HOMES As seen on the 2016 Fall Parade of Homes

Q: How would you describe the style of this space?

A: Farmhouse transitional. There are definitely

contemporary elements in the design, but there are also certain finishes and elements that beckon to a more casual and classic farmhouse style.

Q: What influenced the design of this space?

A: The client’s design aesthetic and their wants and needs influenced the style of the space. I try to listen closely to what my clients’ thoughts and dreams are for the space and then help them interpret those into the best possible design solution.

Q: What is one current design trend you can’t get enough of?

A: I really love using reclaimed wood from an old PHOTOS COURTESY OF MARK D WILLIAMS CUSTOM HOMES

barn or a warehouse. I love the texture and the beauty that it brings to a space. It helps to make each project truly unique. It evokes a sense of history into the space, especially if it is known where the wood has come from. It helps bring in a casual comfort and a story. And it makes the space feel less fussy and more approachable.

Martha O’Hara Interiors INSTAGRAM: OHARAINTERIORSOFFICIAL

Q: How would you describe your interior design style?

A: Instead of limiting ourselves, we look to imbue

’H AR A M AR TH A O KATE AN D

TR OY TH IES

PH OTOG RA

PH Y

every space with a sense of welcome and ease regardless of style. In every home we decorate, balance is key. First and foremost, things have to work. After that comes style, and our clients take us in so many directions – from traditional to transitional, modern to farmhouse. Creating a timeless space comes with experience and confidence. We know better than to chase trends, and would rather make them.

Q: How has the style at Martha O’Hara evolved over time?

A: Design styles are a lot less categorized than

in the past. We’re focused more on creating spaces that our clients love, that are filled with pieces they love. Today, styles tend to play off each other, where mixing and matching is welcomed and styles like modern, farmhouse, transitional, and Scandinavian can be combined.

Q: What is your best piece of advice for someone who is redecorating their home?

A: We recommend partnering with a designer that inspires trust – someone that will listen to you and will work to design a home that allows you to be yourself, freely and comfortably. When you find a trustworthy designer, where you also respond to their body of work, then the process becomes effortless. Our job as designers is to make your decisions easy. The best advice we can give is to speak up when things aren’t following your aesthetic, but try to also stay flexible and keep an open mind.

Q: H ow would you describe your interior design style?

A: The spaces we design aren’t bound by trends,

but rather context. Some clients may seek a light, fresh, bright palette; others want elegant sophistication; some request a casual look and feel; others a mix of classic and modern elements. Whatever the concept, no detail is overlooked. Our goal is to always create a space that reflects our clients’ lifestyle and fulfills their visions.

Q: W hat are some things that influence your work?

A: Maybe it’s a design session with the client,

architect or builder, or maybe it’s handling material selections, space planning and specifying custom furnishings and decor. At Studio M we work to ask the right questions. What works or doesn’t work in your current space? What existing pieces of furniture would you like for us to incorporate into your new design? What are your favorite and least favorite colors? How do you want to feel in the space? These answers are what inspire and influence us!

S OU THERN C HARM AT HOME IN EDINA

DREAM

REMODEL VUJOVICH DESIGN BUILD 6306 McIntyre Pointe, Edina Master Suite, Great Room/Family Room, Kitchen, Main Level and Mud Room/Laundry

The first iteration of this late 90s red brick Georgian was built to meet the needs of a young family. Fast forward 15 years and this family was ready to transform their spaces with style and scale, resulting in a showplace of southern hospitality.

• The exterior still had lots of panache, but the lighting, entry door, garage door, shutters and balconette railings were all overhauled to better reflect the grandeur of the south

• White enameling at the woodwork and cabinetry brightens the spaces, while classic wallcovering and finishes lend a welcoming sense of style

• And what southern home would be complete without a music room, this one is octagonal in shape and sits neatly off the family room

• Most of the original Marvin windows remain, with the exception of an 8-foot by 12-foot, cutting-edge Marvin door at the rear, fold it back and voila, entertaining now extends into the rear porch and deck

• The kitchen shines, with a soft blue-gray painted island and furniture finished cabinets that hide most of the commercial-grade appliances, with the exception of a chef’s dream 48-inch Wolf range topped by a gorgeous black hood

• While most of the upper level family sleeping quarters were simply updated and refreshed, you can’t miss the all new owners’ suite — especially the amazing bath with it’s pedestal slipper tub, glass-enclosed shower, and of course, louvered window coverings

• The revamped pantry is now fully functional for entertaining, and opens to a dining room fit for serving a real southern feast

• But this showplace of old-fashioned style is definitely not old, featuring modern conveniences, state-of-the-art equipment and built-in technology that assures a carefree lifestyle for years to come

• Enter through the new leaded-glass front doors to the main floor’s expanse of warmhued hardwood flooring which beckons you inside • Coffered and beamed ceilings plus carefully designed lighting help define spaces with graceful beauty

Our Most Recent Project:

DESERVING VETERAN FAMILY RECEIVES HELPING HAND Jason served eight years in the U.S. Marine Corp, completed three tours of duty in Iraq and is currently serving in the Minnesota National Guard. After being discharged from the Marines, Jason returned to Minnesota where he found it tough to find a job. To complicate matters further, his wife Genella was experiencing medical problems due to complications from the birth of their son. Jason and Genella experienced financial difficulties and were not able to keep up with the expenses related to maintaining a home that was over 100 years old.

The BATC Foundation, working with Rebuilding Together Twin Cities and Build Partner Soderbeck Design, was able to help Jason and Genella with some much needed repairs to their foundation, replacement of windows, flooring in the kitchen and bathroom, landscaping and a new set of home appliances. Jason and Genella’s home was also the focus of the BATC Foundation’s first ever BATC Member Volunteer Day! This event was a big hit and provided BATC members the opportunity to give back by landscaping and building a play structure for the family’s children.

Things are looking up for the family now that Jason is fully employed. Genella is still struggling with serious medical issues but has peace of mind knowing that their home will be around for many more years to come! A special thanks to these BATC members: Bachman's Floral Gift & Garden, Florstar Sales, Inc., FocalPoint Flooring Cabinets & Design, Lake Country Builders, Lyman Lumber Co., Showcase Renovations, and Soderbeck Design & Construction, Inc.

Green Remodeling Made Easy Minnesota’s Green Path is a common sense, affordable green certification program that can ensure your newly remodeled spaces will save you energy dollars while being kind to the environment.

Like our Green Path new home energy testing and certification program, Green Path for Remodeling assures homeowners the veracity of the green construction through third-party verification and documentation. The how? When you ask your remodeler to have your project Green Path certified, you can be assured of an improved level of energy efficiency, better indoor environmental quality, plus thoughtful water and resource management. And to prove it, you’ll receive your own Green Path Home Performance Report (HPR).

The HPR will present the energy and green features that were built into your home on an easy-to-read one page document. And, if a blower door test was performed, the HPR will also include its Home Energy Rating System (HERS) rating. Research shows that homes with certified energy features sell more quickly and at a premium. While you’re probably not thinking about resale yet, it’s just one more reason to consider Minnesota’s Green Path Certification for your project.

For more information about MN Green Path for Remodeling, visit ParadeofHomes.org and click on the Go Green resource page.

This 1980s-built, lakeside home was dated, dark, and lacked inspiration. Functionality and flow improved instantly once the walls between the kitchen and living area were removed, which converted the main level into an open layout completely in sync with 2016! This project was successfully completed with the help of interior design partner, Studio M Interiors. We maximized space within a small footprint, modernized all spaces, took advantage of the stunning lake views, and created a cozy space for the owners that can easily accommodate their love of entertaining groups large and small.

If you love cooking and entertaining, you won't want to miss this one. This mainfloor overhaul features a uniquely open floor plan complete with a large common room, dining room, a screened-in lounge, and a one-of-a-kind gourmet kitchen. The goal was to create multiple defined spaces while still keeping an open concept. By reimagining the traditional kitchen layout, we were able to incorporate some fun concepts including a massive island with seating on all sides and a storefront-themed floating pantry. This remodel offers too much for this short description. You will have to come see it for yourself.

This 1965 four-level split was tired and in need of a major overhaul. What once was a small, outdated, closed-in kitchen is now an open entertaining space. It boasts a large center island with a unique Quartzite countertop, a coffee bar and stainless steel appliances. The kitchen is not the only overhaul; the master bathroom was enlarged and includes a large walk-in double shower, double vanities and makeup station. The fourth bedroom was reconfigured and now boasts a huge walk-in closet in the master suite. To round out this remodel, the lower-level family room is home to a theater room with state-of-the-art sound system.

Functional and open-concept are now part of this '80s home's vocabulary! By converting unused space, the family now enjoys the luxury of a mud room bench and drop zone off the GAR entry. To improve the functionality and create an open-concept, walls were removed between the kitchen, dining and LR. The homeowners said "Adios!" to their golden oak kitchen and "Hello!" to a newly designed, transitional painted white and gray kitchen. Double glass barn doors were added between the office and LR to improve the overall space layout and furniture options. The powder BA and other updates create a seamless main-level renovation.

What began as a simple screen porch addition swiftly turned into a stunning backyard retreat. A sizeable deck offered a great place for our clients to entertain during the summer, but weather isn't always favorable in Minnesota. The initial idea was to construct a screen room on one section of the deck, but after seeing a photo of a timber frame porch we built a few years back, that plan was soon forgotten. The new porch features a rich wide-plank floor, cedar timbers, and a rustic stone FPL. Enormous screen panels provide a panoramic view during the day while handmade sconces and LED up-lighting create a warm glow at night.

This Lino Lakes multi-level transformation involved dramatic basement and kitchen improvements. The main-floor kitchen was upgraded with stunning Cambria countertops and ceramic backsplash. Those design changes were then reflected in a full basement remodel, featuring a bath with custom vanity, an entertainment wall with cultured stone FPL and custom cabinets. The kitchenette and activity space provides new entertainment possibilities for this growing family. Crown moulding, a mix of ceramic tile and carpet all bathed in overhead and natural light from new egress windows gives this new space functionality and sophistication.

Our clients asked Building Arts to design and build an addition to the rear of their home which fit in seamlessly with the existing brick cottage exterior and that provided an informal living area to expand the family area for their existing kitchen, as well as a room for their TV and baby grand piano. We did not reconstruct their existing kitchen, although we did add a beautiful new granite countertop which provides a seating area for both the kitchen and the addition. The detailed dark oak interior trim matches that in the existing 1920s living areas. We will be installing a hand-laid historic exterior brick patio. N. Victoria St.

Golden Oak – no more! The main level of this '80s home now reflects the popular open concept with transitional white and gray painted cabinetry and millwork. To eliminate the separation of spaces between the KT and family room, the railing was removed and the powder bath was relocated to the front/formal living room, which serves as an office/ study. A new dry bar was designed in place of the original desk to transform this once trendy oak kitchen into a bright new space; boasting an oversized island – perfect for entertainment and family gatherings! The renovation was completed with refinished floors and a laundry refresh!

The kitchen, dining room and mud room were completely demolished to create an open-concept floorplan. Custom cabinetry, Cambria countertops, Wolf/SubZero appliances with a built-in coffee station, and two-sided hutch serves both informal and formal spaces. Large laundry, custom closet systems and renovated lower-level bar area are final touches.

Nestled in beautiful Highland park, this 1940s story-and-a-half was in desperate need of upgrading. Keeping with the original design, walls were opened up to make way for a modern but classic kitchen. A new mud room and office were added as an addition off the rear of the home. New Marvin windows throughout and new LP siding were installed to improve energy efficiency. Careful attention was taken to salvage the cove ceilings and original wall textures. Enameled cabinetry, a custom farm sink, and exact replicas of the interior doors are just a few of the details that went into the overall design for this growing family of four.

Our clients wanted their kitchen and main-floor bathroom to reflect the character of their 1932 home. Birch cabinets were used to match the home's existing elements. A custom dining room built-in matches the kitchen cabinets and ties the rooms together. The conversion of the dining room windows to doors allowed access to a deck, which leads to a newly landscaped backyard and a view of Lake Nokomis. Lastly, a bathroom was converted into a powder room with hexagon tile, a pedestal sink, crystal fixtures, and birch cabinetry. Neutral design elements throughout create a timeless elegance.

If you can't go out, then go up, which is what we did here. We placed a 2nd floor on top of an existing 1st 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.

New innovative Kohler fixtures, Samsung appliances and the most advanced ZIP wall system make this a model of durable, healthy, resilient, efficient construction.

This was a dark, outdated kitchen and dinette but now it is bright, spacious and family-functional! With white enameled cabinets, a large island, quartz countertops, a full ceramic backsplash and spectacular lighting, this kitchen has become a stunning new space. The original floor plan was very compartmentalized. With walls removed, the dining area is open and a dark pantry has been turned into a much-needed powder bathroom! Once just an old, small window for natural light – a full wall of windows overlooks the Minnehaha Creek. The mud room and great room also benefited from renovation – a must-see before-and-after project!

With another child on the way, the homeowners longed for the convenience of an attached garage, enclosed mud room, larger kitchen, and their own master bath. However, the property's vintage charm and resident oak trees could not be lost. Remodeling satisfied the family's needs by adding nearly 1,500 sq. ft. up and out. The home now boasts 4 BRs, 2 BAs, a laundry room and a large bonus room all on the second level, along with an expanded and partially remodeled main level. On the exterior, an enlarged front gable and wraparound porch preserves the home's character while keeping the trees and making a statement on the street!

Imagine the potential within your existing 1960s rambler! This Edina remodel is a perfect illustration of what's possible if the teardown method isn't for you. The three-season porch was removed to construct an addition that provided the homeowners with a mud room, powder bath and larger FR. The KT and appliance layout was reconfigured to improve functionality and create a larger island with seating. While much of this main level received new upgrades; the original brick FPL was preserved and incorporated into the new design. Final touches included refinishing the existing hardwood floors and enameling the golden oak millwork.

This 1971 rambler had an outdated interior aesthetic that was begging to be updated. The original kitchen peninsula was removed to accommodate a new island, beverage center, and kids' study. This also allowed the kitchen to open up to the family room. Re-organization of the floor plan included converting the formal dining room to a grand study and adding a pocket mud room. The totally remodeled basement includes a full bar/ dance floor, knee hockey room, media room, laundry room, bedroom and bathroom. This walkout basement has access to a backyard hockey pond through a new locker room with rubber floor.

This family found their almost perfect home in Edina. The 1950s split-entry rambler had promise. Their wish was to have a clean, modern look, but still comfortable and not stark. Puustelli USA started with remodeling the entry – it needed to be brought up-to-date with a new front foyer and stairs. The new stunning entrance set the tone for the rest of home. We opened a wall between the unused sun room and the dining room creating a large open space. We changed out the entire kitchen with warm cabinetry, new appliances and work spaces. And to finish, we painted the brick fireplace and added a simple mantel to renew the look.

Our team designed a family room full of windows, renovated the home's front exterior and much of the interior main level as well. Walls were moved to improve the home's flow. A quiet library was formed, the dining area extended and new cabinetry added. Even the front entry says "Welcome" with a new covered porch and swing.

This project in Bloomington was an economical approach to good, clean space. Here we focused more on the amount of square footage over high-end finishes. However, the cabinetry is still custom-built in our facility. All of the other finish selections were humble in less populated areas. We added on 430 square feet of new living space and updated 400 square feet of existing space. We created a larger kitchen with all the amenities, along with a simple master suite.

Nestled in the heart of Apple Valley, this '90s KT was in need of an update. The homeowners were looking to lighten up the space and create more usable areas without a full KT remodel so IDC had to think outside the box to find a unique solution. We enameled the existing perimeter cabinet frames and installed allnew doors and drawer fronts w/rollout trays and other int. upgrades to increase the usability of the existing cabinets. We designed a new island in dark wood, added glass accents to the cabinet doors and interior cabinet lighting to create interest. Don't miss your chance to see this realistic solution for a real KT!

How do you transform a production neighborhood home from the '90s into a custom home? That was the wish of our client as they wished to stay in their neighborhood but "feel like they moved" into a new home. Feeling drawn towards a transitional farmhouse look, we opened up the closed floor plan by removing walls and adding larger and taller windows to take advantage of the natural light. We created high contrast against the white cabinets with reclaimed barn wood accents and dark oak floors that made the woodwork pop! Come see in person how we can re-imagine inside the box and reinvigorate your lifestyle!

Be inspired by this main-level remodel by SDI! While remaining within the original footprint, this kitchen was opened to the rest of the main level and reorganized. We removed a 3' x 3' landing at the stairs going to the lower level, added a large window to enjoy the backyard view, added a desk and created a large island. Main level has stained maple flooring and new painted trim throughout. Custom-painted grey and white cabinetry. Countertops are a combo of Cambria Ella, maple butcher block and terrazzo and marble quartz with grey subway backsplash tile. Come join us for drinks and snacks!

Home was original to its 1957 build date with aqua appliances and dated layout. The homeowners wanted to capitalize on the beautiful lake views while optimizing the layout, squeezing every square inch into usable space. The footprint of the home was not changed as it was difficult to get variances, increased costs and their objective was to simplify. Kitchen was moved to take advantage of the lake views, and a mud room/laundry room was created on the main floor. The ceilings were raised throughout the entire home to give it a more expansive feel, featuring a copper barrel vault. Master suite created when redoing three bedrooms. Head west on Highway 5 or Highway 7 to County Road 10; turn on Shoreline Drive; home located on east side of street. MN Lic. #BC271278

The Highmark team invites you to visit a grand example of Minnesota's rustic charm! The recently empty-nested couple decided to stay in the home. But it was time to make it their’s alone: maintain the original characteristics they loved but update the floor plan for entertaining. Highmark started with reclaimed timbers and random-pattern hickory floors. Modern amenities were added as well as salvaged brick from the original fireplace. The floor plan was opened, adding storage, windows and improved lighting. A new bar and bathroom were added to the LL. Relaxing space was gained with a 4-season porch. You'll feel the rustic style!

This unique 1900s home features a main-floor renovation. What was once a food concession stand for boaters on Lake Minnetonka has grown into a beautiful house with modern finishes and ample space. The project includes a transformation to the kitchen, sun room, butlers' pantry, bathroom and mud room. In addition to maximizing the ceiling height, the home features custom cabinetry and a 12-foot-long island with granite counters and a walnut butcher-block top. Another project highlight is the sun room, where reclaimed barn wood masks an entire wall and homeowners can enjoy lake views through the folding glass NanaWall system. US 12 west; take Co. Rd. 15 W.

Wow, another must-see project which again shows why McDonald Remodeling is one of the most awarded remodelers in the Twin Cities! Built in 1947, this rambler contained the traditional galley style kitchen completely segregated from the living and dining areas. The floor plan worked well – in 1947. Fast-forward 70 years: interior walls gone. Kitchen relocated and doubled in size. Spacious living and dining rooms now open to the kitchen area. Beautiful wood floors, enameled cabinetry, granite tops, tile backsplashes. You get the picture. Better yet, come see for yourself. Welcome to 2017!

Meet OUR Family The men and women who remodel homes in the Twin Cities are your neighbors and friends. They’re also part of the BATC family. They work hard and are immensely proud of what they accomplish as they help families improve their homes.

Ross Gravrok

Ed Finneseth

[Lead Carpenter]

FAMILY: Married with two daughters HOBBIES: Golfing, camping and spending time with his two daughters

Ross is a lead carpenter at one of the region’s top remodelers, and has been with the company for 26 years. He developed an interest in carpentry during his woodworking classes in high school and jumped into the industry by taking vocational-technical classes after graduation. Why does he think remodeling is such a great industry to get into? “You get to get dirty,” he said. “And you don’t have to wear a suit every day.” One of his favorite parts of being a carpenter is creating new things with each project. “I like working with my hands,” he said. “I like doing different things every day and meeting new customers all the time. It’s never boring.” He sees value in taking the time to do a project right, not just rushing through to get something done. That’s why he’s stayed so long with one company. “They let you take your time and do it right,” Ross explained. “Doing it right is super super important around here. It’s not get it done fast—it’s get it done right so everybody is happy.”

“

“I like doing different things every day and meeting new customers all the time. It’s never boring.”

FAMILY: Married with four children and three (almost four!) grandchildren HOBBIES: Gardening, landscaping, golfing, reading, and spending time with his grandkids

Ed has been in the construction industry since 1978. He joined his current employer, a local remodeler, more than 20 years ago to gain stability and security while raising his children. Ed enjoys being a carpenter because he gets to see the end product that he built with his hands. “When you take on a project and then get to stand back and see it—you’ve got to be kind of proud,” he said. He said that over the years you will tweak your goals, and if you’re looking to get into the industry it’s important to join a company that will continue to train you as you go. He enjoys the flexibility of the field and that he is constantly meeting new clients. Remodeling homes is the perfect fit for Ed because it is always testing his skills. “It’s the challenge of something different,” he said. “There is always something different and new challenges to run into.”
