Today I was at our rural Cannon Falls remodeling project. I brought some extra personnel to the site to help lift a large window into place. We are using Andersen windows, which are a great product. This big south facing window came in two sections. The workers laid it on a flat, level surface and [...]
In early April we finished up a bathroom remodeling project. One of the issues for the client was that the exisitng shower compartment was too small. So we removed an existing wall and made the shower a bit larger. Because it was a custom size shower we used ceramic tile for the floor and walls. [...]
On Monday the new owner took possession of the Crossing condominium that we finished for her. She made some very nice choices for the interior finishes. All the cabinets, doors and trims are maple with a light stain applied. The kitchen cabinets have glass in the upper doors and the cabinets extend to the ceiling. [...]
Last week was a real wipe out for our rural remodeling project. Between the snow and power outages we didn’t get a lot done. But this week is starting off to a great beginning. The workers have re-framed all the openings on the dining room in preparation for new windows. We are installing Andersen window [...]
We are finishing up our interior work at another Crossing condominium unit. This unit is finished using maple doors and trims. I really like the lighter finish on the wood. The kitchen cabinets extend to the ceiling and incorporate some glass doors. As with other units this one has a deep pantry to the right [...]
This week we started a home remodeling project for a client. Our first task was to remove an undersized structural header beam, lift the house slightly to remove the sag, and install a new stronger beam. That work went fairly well. Our next task was to remove wall coverings in preparation for some new windows. [...]

The drywall finishers are busy doing their work. We installed new windows in the attic which let in a lot more [...]

Today the insulators are finishing up with insulating work in the attic of our East side remodeling project. They are installing sprayed foam insulation between the rafters. We are doing this in an effort to add insulation to the home—and hopefully lessen the ice dams on the roof that the owner has been plagued with. [...]

We have just about finished up our work in the basement of our East side remodeling project. The windows have all been replaced, the stairs rebuilt, the toilet room constructed, insulation and electrical work improved, and the walls and ceiling painted. The space is so much brighter now with the surfaces painted. We have yet [...]
