4 WAYS TO YOUR REMODELBrighten
When planning a remodel, most jump to flooring, cabinetry, or furniture to achieve a dramatic transformation. However, there are other design elements that can make a major impact in how you reimagine and, ultimately, live in your space: windows and doors. They do more than let in light and provide protection — they frame your view, amplify your home’s style, and boost energy efficiency. Here are a few things to consider when it comes to windows and doors — brought to you by Marvin.
1 Just-Right Natural Light
Windows and scenic doors shape how light flows through your home. Consider how sunlight interacts with each room throughout the day. South- and west-facing windows provide the most light, making them ideal for spaces like kitchens and living rooms.
Placement matters, too. In bedrooms, consider your circadian rhythm and how natural light can help you wake up as well as fall asleep. In kitchens, add windows above countertops or near workspaces to brighten the area, not to mention moods.
To blur the line between indoors and outdoors, consider oversized picture windows or scenic doors. These options maximize views and bring natural beauty into your space. Choose styles that balance form and function to complement your overall design.
2 Echo Your Home’s Architectural Style
For every architectural style, there are windows and doors that best support the bigger vision. When it comes to modern architecture, look for narrow profiles and expansive glass to support the minimalist look. Double-hung windows and
casements carry forward the architect’s or builder’s original intent for traditional projects. For visions that defy definition, consider custom solutions to achieve unique shapes and sizes in windows like polygons, round tops, and others.
Because every detail matters, consider the hardware too. The finishes of handles, cranks, and hinges can make a world of difference.
3 Upgrade for Energy Efficiency
Energy-efficient windows keep your home comfortable and lower utility bills. Look for features like doubleor triple-pane glass, low-E coatings, and insulated frames to minimize heat transfer. Upgrading older windows during a remodel can also increase your home’s sustainability and value.
4 Maintain an Eye on Low-Maintenance
The most premium windows and doors consider both aesthetic and performance when it comes to design. Look for durable finishes that can stand up to the elements and require little-to-no maintenance for long-lasting beauty.
Windows and doors are more than functional — they’re key to creating a thoughtfully designed, bright, beautiful, and energy-efficient home. Whether it’s bringing in natural light, enhancing your home’s style, or boosting comfort, Marvin helps ensure your remodel shines.
REMODELING DONE Right
Tips for Selecting a Remodeler in the Land of 10,000 Lakes
Remodeling your home is an exciting journey, but choosing the right remodeler can make all the difference between a dream realized and a project fraught with headaches. With countless remodeling professionals to choose from in Minnesota, it’s important to find a partner who aligns with your vision, timeline, and budget.
Define Your Project
Start by identifying the scope of your remodeling project. Are you updating a single room, such as a kitchen or bathroom, or taking on a whole-home renovation? Knowing your goals, priorities, and budget will help you communicate clearly with potential remodelers.
Research and Referrals
Ask friends, family, and neighbors for recommendations. Explore resources like the housing association Housing First Minnesota and check out the work of the companies featuring projects in the Remodelers Showcase to find licensed remodelers in Minnesota.
Check Credentials
Before scheduling consultations, ensure your prospective remodeler is licensed and insured. Check their status through the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry’s website. Membership in professional organizations like Housing First Minnesota also signifies a commitment to high industry standards.
Review Portfolios and References
Examine the remodeler’s portfolio to ensure their style aligns with your vision. Request references and follow up with past clients to learn about their experience. Key questions to ask include:
• Was the project completed on time and within budget?
• How was communication throughout the process?
• Were there any challenges, and how were they resolved?
Review Contracts Carefully
Once you’ve chosen a remodeler, review the contract thoroughly before signing. The contract should outline:
• Payment schedule
• Scope of work
• Project timeline
• Warranty information
• Procedures for changes
Communication is Key
Establish clear lines of communication from the outset. Determine how often you’ll receive updates and who your primary contact will be. Open and transparent communication helps avoid misunderstandings and ensures a smoother process. Selecting the right remodeler takes time, but it’s a worthwhile investment. By following these steps, you can feel confident in your choice and look forward to transforming your home into the space you’ve always dreamed of.

SPRING CLEANING Checklis t
Spring is here, bringing longer days and fresh opportunities to enjoy your home. But with seasonal changes, it’s essential to ensure that your space stays as beautiful and healthy as the day your renovation was completed. Use this checklist to protect your investment and keep your home in tip-top shape this spring.
DEEP CLEAN TO REFRESH YOUR SPACES
` DUST AND POLISH SURFACES: Pay attention to nooks and crannies, like crown moldings, baseboards, and the tops of cabinets.
` VACUUM THOROUGHLY: Use a vacuum with a HEPA filter to capture allergens and keep your indoor air clean.
` WASH WINDOWS AND SCREENS: Maximize sunlight and
ventilation by giving your windows a streak-free shine.
` SHAMPOO CARPETS AND UPHOLSTERY: Remove any buildup from winter months for a fresh start.
INSPECT AND MAINTAIN HVAC SYSTEMS
` REPLACE AIR FILTERS: A clean filter improves air quality and keeps your system running efficiently.
` SCHEDULE A TUNE-UP: Ensure your HVAC is ready for warmer weather by having it professionally inspected.
` CLEAN VENTS AND DUCTS: Clear away dust to reduce allergens and improve airflow.
TEST FOR SAFETY
` CHECK SMOKE AND CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTORS: Replace batteries and test devices to ensure proper operation.
` INSPECT FIRE EXTINGUISHERS: Verify expiration dates and accessibility in key areas like the kitchen.
` REVIEW HOUSEHOLD SAFETY:
Ensure railings, childproofing, and other safety measures are secure and functional.
TOUCH UP AND REPAIR
` EXAMINE PAINT AND CAULKING: Touch up chipped paint and reapply caulk to areas like windows, doors, and backsplashes to maintain seals.
` TIGHTEN HARDWARE: Check cabinet knobs, drawer pulls, and hinges for looseness.
` INSPECT GROUT AND TILE: Repair cracks and clean grout lines to keep bathrooms and kitchens looking fresh.
SPRING-PROOF
YOUR EXTERIOR
` CLEAN GUTTERS AND DOWNSPOUTS: Remove leaves and debris to ensure proper drainage.
` INSPECT YOUR ROOF: Check for loose shingles or damage from winter weather.
` SEAL WINDOWS AND DOORS: Prevent drafts and improve energy efficiency with weatherstripping or caulking.
` PREPARE OUTDOOR SPACES: Clean decks, patios, and outdoor furniture.
CHECK PLUMBING AND WATER SYSTEMS
` INSPECT PIPES FOR LEAKS: Look under sinks and around appliances for any signs of water damage.
` FLUSH WATER HEATERS: Remove sediment to keep your water heater functioning efficiently.
` TEST SUMP PUMPS: Ensure your pump is ready for spring rains to prevent flooding.
REASSESS YOUR ENERGY EFFICIENCY
` TEST LIGHTING: Replace any burntout bulbs and consider switching to energy-efficient LEDs.
` UPGRADE SMART HOME SETTINGS: Adjust thermostats and timers for warmer months.
` MONITOR ENERGY BILLS: Look for unusual spikes that might signal a problem.

MURPHY
A Mindful HOME
BY TAYLOR HUGO
Improve your mental clarity and wellbeing by transforming cluttered spaces into streamlined sanctuaries with these five tips.
Spring is the ideal time for a fresh start — especially when it comes to your home. Whether it’s through thoughtful decluttering or permanent design changes, transforming your home can be a powerful step toward creating a streamlined sanctuary that supports your overall health and wellbeing.
“Keeping your home clutter-free and organized creates a peaceful and functional space, reducing stress and making daily tasks easier,” says Kari Campbell, founder and principal designer at Kari Campbell Interiors. “Plus, it saves time when you know exactly where to find what you need. It’s all about creating a space that feels good to live in.”
Here, Twin Cities home professionals offer their tips to transform your space — and your mind.
Start fresh. Before you start any organization project, the first step is to go through your belongings and determine what can stay and what needs to go. “It’s much easier to organize and stay organized if you keep the unnecessary things out of the picture,” says Brittani Swedberg, an interior designer for Murphy Bros. Design & Remodeling.
If this task feels daunting, Campbell suggests creating a schedule, setting aside time each day or week to work on organizing different areas of your home. “Completing one area will give you the boost of energy and satisfaction you need to move on to the next space without feeling overwhelmed,” she says.
Integrate built-in storage solutions. Early on in your remodeling project, think about and design storage solutions around your day-to-day lifestyle. How do you want to use each room, and what types of storage solutions will work best in each space? For example, avid readers may want to incorporate bookshelves
MURPHY BROS. DESIGN | BUILD | REMODEL
around a window nook for their paperbacks and hardcovers, while shoe enthusiasts might appreciate custom shelves to fit their extensive collection of heels. “These little luxuries will also add value to your home in the long run,” says Campbell.
Utilize organizers for smaller spaces. If you want to avoid the dreaded “junk drawer/closet,” Swedberg recommends adding smaller organizers within drawers, cabinets, and closets to create
designated spaces for specific things. Also, “use hanging organizers in closets and behind doors to make the most of all available vertical space,” Campbell adds.
Decorate with functional furniture. When choosing furniture for rooms that clutter easily, opt for pieces that can double as storage, such as ottomans, benches, and coffee tables that feature removable tops to discreetly tuck away blankets, remotes, and stray toys. “This can be
very helpful when you’re on a budget and don’t want to sacrifice design or aesthetics,” says Swedberg.
Label everything. Once you’ve organized your belongings and created a designated storage space for everything, label your containers, bins, and shelves. “This will help you quickly find what you’re looking for and ensure that everyone in the family knows exactly where to return things when they’re finished using them,” says Campbell.

WHERE DESIGN MEETS
Wellness
Through strategic remodeling, older homes can be updated to meet contemporary wellness needs.
BY TAYLOR HUGO
Older homes are desirable for their historic charm and established neighborhoods, but when it comes to amenities that promote health and overall wellbeing, your 1930s Tudor may be lacking. Through strategic remodeling, these older homes can be updated to meet contemporary wellness needs, whether it’s more windows to increase natural light, a reimagined kitchen that encourages cooking balanced meals, or smart features that make day-to-day life a little easier.
Enhance natural light. Natural light is known to improve our mood and promote healthy sleep-wake cycles—not to mention increase visibility, reducing falls and injuries. “Consider enhancements and updates that optimize lighting in older homes,” says Christine Marvin, chief marketing and experience officer for Marvin. “For example, adding interior windows in renovations can fit seamlessly with a more contemporary look and increase natural light.”
Integrate
smart features. Smart home features make our lives a little easier by putting everyday tasks on autopilot, including monitoring and improving our health. Think: air quality sensors that measure and alert you to potentially harmful pollutants in your home, thermostats that adjust the temperature of your home for optimal comfort, and circadian lighting that syncs up with your body’s natural cycles. There are even refrigerators that can remind you when it’s time to stock up on your favorite healthy foods, or windows and doors that can operate at the push of a button, “enhancing accessibility and convenience,” says Marvin.

Promote relaxation. Turn your primary bedroom suite into a spalike sanctuary where you can rest and recharge. In-home luxuries can include rainfall showers, steam generators, heated towel racks, and soaking tubs, as well as heated floors for comfort, says Pam Clausen, business promotion coordinator for Plekkenpol Builders.
Encourage exercise. In-home gyms make exercise equipment more accessible and create a comfortable workout environment, encouraging you to move your body more regularly and keeping you on task when you do. “A lot of homeowners are able to repurpose an existing room to allow for a treadmill, elliptical,
and free weights,” says Ryan Tyler, a project manager for Plekkenpol Builders. Or, “if they have unfinished space in the basement, we can create a workout room that includes rubber flooring, wall mirrors, and entertainment features like built-in speakers or wall-mounted TVs.”
Increase kitchen functionality. Refreshing your kitchen may be all it takes to re-energize your love for cooking. New appliances—such as steam ovens, air fryers, and juicers— can change the way you store and cook your food, while a functional layout and proper organization take the stress out of meal prep, no matter if you’re cooking for one or a crowd. “I’ve had several homeown-
ers share that they enjoy spending time in their new kitchen so much more that they have found themselves cooking healthy meals when they would have otherwise eaten out or gotten delivery,” says Tyler. “Items like new appliances, adding a walk-in pantry, or incorporating built-in storage solutions to the cabinetry are all ways to make your time in the kitchen more enjoyable.”
Improve air flow. Proper air flow and ventilation are key to removing stale, polluted air, controlling humidity, and increasing energy efficiency. “When modernizing older homes, homeowners should aim to balance aesthetics with functionality,” says Marvin. “Windows play a major role in ventilation, so it’s important to consider styles that promote airflow and contribute to maintaining or regulating the temperature of your home.”
Tune out the noise. If you live in a particularly noisy area, soundproofing your home can have a significant impact on your health. Noise pollution has been linked to stress, sleep disruption, and even cardiovascular risks like high blood pressure. Filter out the noise with materials like acoustic panels and caulk, floor coverings, and dual-pane windows.
Connect with nature. Spending time outside has numerous health benefits, from reducing stress and anxiety to boosting your immune system and cognitive function. Bonus: You can reap these benefits from the comfort of your own backyard. “Creating more enjoyable outdoor spaces will naturally cause you to spend more time outside,” says Tyler. “Adding or remodeling an existing deck, screened-in porch, sunroom, patio, or outdoor kitchen are all ways to get out of the house. You may also consider outdoor workout spaces, like a basketball court, pickleball court, or swimming pool, to name a few.”
STARTER HOMES
VETERANS IN NEED BUILDING HOPE FOR MINNESOTA ’S
Each year, the Parade of Homes inspires thousands and helps Minnesotans find a place to call home. But this beloved event is more than a home tour; it’s an opportunity to support life-changing initiatives through the Housing First Minnesota Foundation. This year, the Foundation’s work is highlighted by a deeply impactful project: the Veteran Village, a first-of-its-kind initiative to create a townhome-style community for veterans experiencing homelessness.
A Mission to Serve
The Housing First Minnesota Foundation has long been dedicated to addressing housing insecurity in our communities. Its most recent effort, the Veteran Village project, exemplifies this mission. Partnering with the Minnesota Assistance Council for Veterans (MACV) and build partner Lennar, the Foundation is building a first-ever townhome community specifically for veterans in need. This initiative is fueled by the Foundation’s largest fundraising campaign to date, with the goal of providing safe, stable housing and a path to independence for those who have served our country.
“Veteran Village represents not only a place to live but a foundation for rebuilding lives,” says Jessica
Ryan, vice president of development for Housing First Minnesota. “Through this partnership, we’re making a tangible difference for veterans facing homelessness.”
A Partnership for Change
The Veteran Village is the result of a powerful partnership between organizations committed to addressing veteran homelessness. MACV brings decades of expertise in supporting Minnesota’s veterans, while Lennar contributes its industry-leading homebuilding experience. Together, these organizations—with the support of the Foundation—are creating a sustainable solution to one of the state’s most pressing challenges.
“MACV, Housing First Foundation, and Lennar formed a partnership seven years ago with the vision of ending veterans homelessness in the state of Minnesota,” says Bill Burgess, division president of Lennar Minnesota. “After building 15 homes, along with the start of Veteran Village in Eagan, Minnesota is on the cusp of being only the fourth state to be able to declare an end of veteran homelessness.”
This initiative will provide more than just housing. The homes are designed to foster community, offering veterans a sense of belonging and stability. Support services
through MACV will also be available, ensuring residents have access to the resources they need to thrive.
Parade of Homes Connection
The Housing First Minnesota Foundation’s work is made possible by generous contributions from the community—including Parade of Homes attendees. The tour’s 6 Dream Homes play a crucial role in supporting the Foundation. Visitors who explore these Dream Homes are directly contributing to projects like Veteran Village through the admission fee. Each entry not only offers a glimpse into some of the Twin Cities’ most stunning residences but also helps create homes for those in need.
Building a Legacy
Veteran Village builds on the Foundation’s history of creating lasting change. Recently completed projects include three homes for veterans in North Minneapolis, built in partnership with MACV and Lennar. These homes have already transformed lives, offering stability and security to veterans who previously faced housing uncertainty.
“We are proud that our association, industry, trade partners, and associates have been so focused on making this vision become reality,” says Burgess.
YOUR DREAM HOME ADMISSION BENEFITS THE HOUSING FIRST MINNESOTA FOUNDATION. The Dream Homes each require a $5 admission, paid at the door. Thank you for supporting those who need a safe place to call home. Please Note: Dream Home admission is cashless. Credit card payment only.
Plekkenpol Builders, Inc.
6620 LIMERICK DRIVE, EDINA, MN
Originally inherited from the owner’s father, this house underwent a whole-home renovation in 2019 to meet the evolving needs of its new owners. The transformation included an expanded kitchen, a reimagined primary suite, and a functional new laundry/mudroom, among other updates. Two years later, when fire damage necessitated starting over, the homeowners rebuilt much of what they loved from the original renovation, while incorporating enhancements to the home’s design and functionality.
The renovation created an inviting one-level layout with an open floor plan, merging the kitchen and formal dining room to double the kitchen’s size. At its heart is a stunning 12-foot island, perfect for gathering with family and friends. The primary suite now features a spacious bathroom with a luxurious freestanding soaking tub, offering a private retreat.
Throughout the home, custom cabinetry, shiplap accent walls, and updated flooring lend character and warmth. These classic finishes and meaningful details reflect not only the home’s restored beauty but also the journey of its transformation.
