  - Description: Cramped galley kitchen becomes bright & functional family cooking center. This family had a cute, older home in a neighborhood and area they loved. The kitchen, however, was dreary, cramped, old and crowded. No matter how clean it was, it still felt dark and dirty. They knew they wanted to stay, but it was time to create a kitchen that made cooking, family time and holidays easier and more enjoyable.

While their 1952 St. Louis Park home is traditional, they decided to have fun with the aesthetics in the multi-function space in the basement. This newly remodeled space is retro-modern, and funky!

However, the wasted space in the guest bath, the dark, depressing, heavy-feeling in the master bath and…

This is part of our commitment to a smooth, worry-free process.

**Are you licensed and insured?**
Yes, we are a licensed design-build firm. Our owner, Timothy Ferraro-Hauck, holds Master Certified Remodeler and Green Certified Professional designations from NARI, reflecting our commitment to the highest professional standards. We also maintain memberships with APB and NKBA.
