Refined Homes

My kitchen turned out better than expected. Having a blast baking in my new space. Refined Homes so easy to work with.

We have nothing but great things to say! We hired Refined Homes to do a complete basement overhaul and are so happy with the outcome! We had a unique structural component that we debated about dealing with due to cost. But we are so happy we went for it, adding an entire bedroom with closet and egress window. Our home feels so much bigger with the finished space. The work quality is fantastic! Ian and Tricia were true professionals throughout the entire process and the nicest people to work with. All of the subcontracts they used were just as great. They did a great job cleaning up after their day, we always knew where things were at with orders and timelines and they were quick to respond and explain any questions we had. You will not be disappointed with Refined Homes!

We've had 2 projects completed by Refined Homes, the first in 2005 and the second in 2008. The first was transforming a 3-season porch to a 4-season porch/home office. Ian designed and installed a plan that I'm truly thankful for since I spend 7-9 hours in it each work day (summer and COLD winters!). The porch was anything but 'square' as it was a DIY many years ago from a previous owner. He did an excellent job to install energy efficient windows, a new full glass door, insulated flooring and ceiling, ran electrical out there and built out the inside to make it not look like a 3-season porch anymore. The 2nd project was a bathroom remodel. It hadn't been updated in probably 20 years and really needed help. He installed a subway tile tub/shower surround (to the ceiling), wainscoting, new sink and toilet (and all hardware) and installed a vent fan as the bathroom never had one. What stood out as much as the quality of work was his professionalism and communication. We were out of town on vacation while he was doing the work and midway through the remodel, he discovered our glass block window (about 4'x3') was rotted. That wasn't part of the original plan but he contacted us quickly with a couple solutions and found a manufacturer in town to custom make a new window. When we returned, there was a delay in receiving the new window but he stayed on top of the company and was able to get it installed within a couple days of our return. A slight inconvenience for us (since we only have 1 bathroom) but he handled it professionally and finished the job quickly. We were very thankful for both projects being done well and professionally. As a side note, I have seen other finished projects he's completed in the last several years and can tell his quality and workmanship have continued with excellence. CALL THEM!!

Ian is terrific. I have a 2 story garage and he built an interior stair case. His work was 100% professional. Quality terrific. He came when he said he would. He did what he said he'd do. He is just marvelous.

Ian worked with us to come up with a plan and once we all agreed he got to work and completed the job as we expected. Throughout the process Ian was respectful, informative and punctual. After comparing several other service we found Ian's firm to offer the best value for the money for our bathroom remodeling in our 100+ year old character home in the historic Whittier neighborhood in South Minneapolis.

After a glowing recommendation from a friend, I hired Refined Homes to demolish a kitchenette in my basement and re-carpet my entire lower level. The price was fair, the crew was timely, courteous and professional, and the workmanship was absolutely top-notch. It's abundantly-obvious that the owner of this company is a perfectionist who is not content to merely do a "good enough" job. I plan to hire Refined Homes to remodel my kitchen as well. In consulting with the owner on that work, I greatly appreciate that he listened to my ideas but then volunteered helpful product and layout suggestions and raised possible pitfalls to my plan and suggested smart and budget-conscious solutions. In effect, his expertise made it possible for him to answer "questions" I didn't even know to ask. Refined Homes is a first-rate enterprise that has earned my repeat business and highest praise.

Refined Homes converted an empty attic space to a bathroom. The final project took longer than estimated, due to materials and city inspectors, but throughout Ian communicated and kept me informed. The sub-contractors were skilled and attentive. The tile work is superb! The plumbing is awesome. The overall project was as anticipated and turned out to turn an empty area to a very functional value added addition.

We were very pleased with Ian's work. The project came in on budget and it looks fabulous! We appreciate that he cleaned up each day before leaving and kept us up to date on the progress and next steps. His work is wonderful and we are so happy with the project, I wish we had done it sooner. Thank you!

Excellent service ! I loved being able to discuss large and small projects for my home for different options. Exceptional quality of work. I hired Refined Homes at least 3 times each year over a 5 year period and was extremely pleased with the work, outcome and communication. If you have a home project, need a little help finishing something up, please call Refined Homes! You will not be disappointed!
