Kitchen & Basement Remodeling in Sartell, MN

A full house remodel in Sartell, built around a painted custom kitchen and a basement wet bar.

We're based in Saint Joseph, about 15 minutes from Sartell. Our Sartell project house was a full remodel, and the kitchen and the basement bar were the heart of it. Because it was our own project house, we made every design and construction call ourselves. Valerie designed it. Rick built it, managing the trade specialists on the job.

Main Level Renovation

The half bath has a dark green vanity and statement wallpaper. The dining room has a custom-built hutch with storage and serving space, designed with style elements that tie in with the existing kitchen cabinetry. The front room has a green velvet chaise lounge. The living room has a stone-wrapped fireplace and a custom designed and built mantle that slides open to hide the electrical cords, with a modern light fixture in place of a dated ceiling fan. Curated furniture maximizes seating for family gatherings, and the gallery wall features kids artwork, family photos and found textile art. The kitchen hood has a gentle slope whose trim coordinates with upgraded cabinetry crown moulding, and upper and lower cabinet LED lighting highlights the tiled backsplash.

What Sartell Homeowners Ask Us About

Newer Sartell homes often come with builder-grade finishes that need a designer's eye to feel personal. Established homes are often ready for a kitchen or bathroom that fits how the family lives now. Either way, planning the design and the construction together from the start avoids the handoff problems that come from hiring each separately.

Valerie holds a Bachelor's Degree in Interior Design from North Dakota State University and is a Certified True Colour Expert. Rick is a Minnesota licensed general contractor, license BC807593.
