House Extension Professionals in Lakeville, MN

“Chris had some really great ideas for our home remodel. She got me thinking outside the box. She is very easy to work with. I would use her again!”

“We worked with Paul on an addition and complete internal re-do - bigger kitchen, bigger master bedroom. Paul is a good listener, honest, and genuine person. We ended up buying a house and he refunded the unused portion of our "retainer". From the beginning he is comfortable to work with and what he says, he does. I kind of hate to have found a house because I know he'd work wonders.”

“Bruce has done a number of CAD drawings for us. He is easy to work with and brings many ideas to a project including energy efficient components. The renderings that he generates help clients have a better visualization of what we're proposing to build. We have every hope and desire to continue using his services.”

“My husband and I were ready to remodel our kitchen. We have a 1.5 story home built in 1954 in the beautiful Como neighborhood. We love our home, but the kitchen didn't fit our lifestyle and was horribly outdated. We were at a charity event and found a silent auction item of time with an architect/designer. We bid and won! Ashley was the architect/designer with whom that we won design time. We e-mailed her pictures, our needs/wishes and initial sketches. Once she has some options, she met us at our home. Sat down at the kitchen table to discuss our options. Ashley was amazing. She hand drew quite a few options after we kept running into issues. She never got frustrated and was willing to think outside the box to find the perfect design for us. It was a pleasure to work with someone as professional, down to earth and creative as Ashley. We absolutely LOVE our new kitchen that fits our family and allows us to entertain our friends and family. Beth”

“When we hired David Lund to design our kitchen, new bathroom and new mudroom, we weren't sure what to expect. We had never undertaken such a large remodeling project before and we were overwhelmed with getting the layout exactly right and incorporating all the "little extras" we wanted in our dream kitchen. David took a pile of tear sheets that we'd saved, listened intently to our desires and concerns, and came back with plans that were so complete that even our contractor commented they were the best plans he'd ever worked with. What's more, David's suggestions for design picks completely changed the way we think about making choices for our home. He opened our eyes to options (hello, green penny tile!) that we would have never considered, and made us become better home decorators. He also retained the integrity of our nearly 100-year-old home by making countless choices that are consistent with its design period. When the project was complete it was not only exactly what we wanted, but was also filled with details we didn't know we wanted until he put them into place. We have a lot of envious friends.”

“Alethea is amazing! She was an integral part of the team when we remodeled our entire basement, renovated our kitchen and added a large porch in the front of our home. She was the key person to help select all of the interior selections and after the work was completed, assisted in the interior furnishings as well. We did a second project with her as well. We added a laundry room that is the envy of my neighborhood. She designed and drew up all of the plans and worked well with all of the subs. Many friends have seen her work in my home and have hired her as well- both to help in structural changes as well as interior work. They all have been happy. I cannot recommend her highly enough. She is true to her word, very organized and keeps you informed throughout the project. These are rare qualities. I am happy to talk with anyone who has any questions. Thanks!”

“We just completed construction on our new home in the White Bear Lake, MN area. We had been looking for a tear down opportunity on a nearby lake for a couple years, and when a property presented itself, we quickly sprung into action. We have identified our builders in advance (Sustainable9) and based on our vision for the home, they introduced us to Unfold Architecture. Their previous projects, both out West and here in MN, fit the mountain modern/Minnesota modern style we were seeking. From the get go, the team at Unfold were amazing partners. Through conversations and inspiration photos we shared on Houzz, they took our long wish list (maximized lake views, lower level walkout, modern but welcoming, mid-century influences) and designed the perfect house. Their houses are striking architecturally but also extremely livable and functional. They use state of the art CAD models to help you envision what the home would look like. It’s remarkable how close the house turned out in respect to the early renderings. And throughout the process, they were collaborative partners, incorporating feedback from both us and our builders, presenting us initially with several options and then honing in on our chosen design. We could not be more pleased with the process (even in the midst of Covid challenges) or the end result, which is truly the dream home we envisioned.”

“We've had the honor of working with Sharratt Design & Co. recently on a few phenomenal renovation and new construction projects. From a design perspective, they are proficient in any style you can think of. From cottage, to Colorado lodge, to Mediterranean, to contemporary, they can do it all. Most importantly, they are fun to work with in a collaborative team setting, and always have their clients' best interests in mind. They have a wonderful staff, and everyone from Mike Sharratt himself, to the people who answer the phones, are warm, inviting, and accessible throughout the project. We look forward to many more projects with Sharratt Design & Co, and we highly recommend you speak to them if you're looking to remodel an existing home, or build new. John R. Kraemer”

“Thus far, Stacy Dennis Designs, has given me a beautiful idea of what we could do with our home. Stacy's style and architectural eye has surpassed our expectations and we are thrilled to have her and her team work on several projects with us. On top of the professional knowledge we were looking for in a designer, Stacy also has phenomenal people skills where she has been able to match our speed and really dig deep into who we are and what were looking for. For that, we appreciate Stacy Dennis Designs because based on previous experience, not all companies are able to provide an all around wonderful experience and this company has done just that. We would highly recommend Stacy Dennis Designs and look forward to seeing several more projects this company completes!”

“Leigh worked with me when I moved from an antique colonial cape to a large center chimney Federal circa 1780. He drew up a design to finish out some required work on the cape for stairs and cabinets. When I bought the Federal he walked through the home and prepared a plan of attack for making the house more livable for the twenty-first century without destroying the beauty and authentic character of the home. Leigh is able to design for many styles of home in a way that brings out the best of the existing building while providing for the needs of a modern home owner. His work is done professionally and timely. I would not hesitate to work with him again.”
