Welcome
IT'S ALL IN THE FAMILY
Castle Building & Remodeling, Inc. is a professional design/build firm specializing in residential remodeling. Castle is a second-generation family business, started in 1977, with over 3,200 past clients. Marty Schirber started the company from his basement and watched it grow over the years. In 2005, Castle moved into its headquarters on Johnson St NE, and two years later Loren acquired Castle Building & Remodeling from his father. Since then, Castle has relocated to a larger headquarters and seen three more locations open, one in St. Paul and two in South Minneapolis. The unique design studios allow Castle’s interior designers to help clients plan anything from a not so big project all the way up to a whole house reconfiguration.
In the fall of 2013, we introduced our first in person home tour. We have since held a home tour every year, with the exception of 2020. Our Longfellow showroom is the latest addition to our design selection studios. The showroom now resides where The Natural Buil Home Store once existed, which was acquired in March of 2014. Castle was able to continue working through the pandemic, following CDC guidelines and adapting many new business capabilities. We added the capability for virtual appointments, practiced social distancing while in homes, and created the opportunity to attend events from the comfort of attendees' homes with our Impressive Progressive event. The 2021 Castle Educational Home Tour’s purpose is to educate Follow us: and inform the public on real everyday remodel-
ing projects, not just the largest or most expensive projects like the luxury tours or Parade shows. On our Tour, Castle will show the public real remodeling projects like mud rooms, laundry rooms, and bathroom remodels that would never be shown on a luxury tour. Remodeling is a huge investment and we understand it takes effort to learn about all your remodeling options. Our Tour is designed to help people make better remodeling decisions for your own remodeling projects, and better understand what a realistic remodel involves, as well as what is achievable within your budget to create a valuable investment in your home. Use this Guide Book to learn more about the homes we are showcasing. It will direct you to the homes that will best help you in planning your project. In each home we have an expert ready to talk to you about the project you are visiting, your upcoming project, and how Castle can help you achieve your remodeling goals. If you hire Castle you will find that our tag line “The Best Value in Professional Remodeling” is our way of life. Our professional team strives to bring a luxury service to the masses. A clearly defined process, direct buying relationships, time tested systems, and efficiency allow Castle to provide a better value and guarantee a better experience. Through our three pronged guarantee we hold ourselves accountable, so you do not have to.
Sincerely, Loren Schirber, Owner
