Renovating a historic home to have contemporary elements can be a challenge for any builder — especially when regulations control any changes to the exterior.

If you’re building or renovating a home, a mudroom may not be at the top of your priority list when it comes to allocating money and materials.

Perhaps because we spend more time inside than others during our long winters, we Minnesotans tend to appreciate our cozy basements and the added living space they provide.

When it comes to adding on to older homes, it’s all too easy to get the style, color, materials and/or perspective wrong so the house never looks quite right again.

When it comes to home improvement, Americans tend to prioritize renovations to their kitchens above changes to any other room.

Wish you had more room in your present house? Depending on where you live, your best option may be adding another floor rather than expanding outward.

Let's talk about lobbies. Does anyone else notice how they've been evolving lately? Time was, a lobby in a commercial office building was a place to pass through on your way to your ultimate destination. Lobbies were typically designed to be functional, but usually ended up charmless and uninviting.

With climate change in the news every day, more and more people are thinking about doing their part to make their homes more energy-efficient and eco-friendly. And, hey, the big savings you'll see on your energy bills, as a result, won't hurt either.

You've decided to remodel your home. Great! Whether you're getting your castle ready to sell for top dollar or finally adding that screened-in porch you've always wanted, home renovation is an exciting time, filled with possibility.

Dreaming about how beautiful and functional your current kitchen could be with a major upgrade?

Do you own a gorgeous historic home that could use some renovation?

As Minnesota’s summer winds down and temperatures slowly drop, now is a good time to think about home renovations you’d like to complete before the snow flies.

For many Americans, the holidays are among the most important parts of the year. Nothing can replace all the festivity, the friends, the family, the food and the sheer beauty of the season.

If you’ve purchased a midcentury modern home built (roughly) between 1945 and 1975, congratulations!

It may be because we spend more months of the year indoors, but we Minnesotans apparently like our finished basements more than many other Americans.
