Who We Are
A Central Minnesota husband and wife team — designing and renovating homes together.
We've spent years remodeling worn, outdated spaces into refreshed, beautiful homes — through quality craftsmanship and thoughtful design. Valerie brings her NDSU Interior Design degree and True Colour Expert certification. Rick holds a Minnesota General Contractor license (BC807593) and has renovated and sold 16 project homes right here in Central Minnesota.
We're here to help you create an environment that brings you joy and reflects your unique story. Whether it's selecting the perfect paint color or fully renovating your kitchen into the stunning center of your home, we'll guide you every step of the way.
Let's create a haven you'll love coming home to every day.
