• Kitchens

    Home Customizers has a long history of working with home owners and their design ideas. A wealth of experience and tremendous problem solving abilities will help give you the ultimate kitchen experience. Working in partnership with you and clearly communicating are invaluable in bringing your dreams and designs into “done.”

    Kitchens
     
  • Garages

    Next to additions or high end remodels, garages are one of the bigger projects home owners do. As much of Home Customizers work is in older neighborhoods, we find a huge demand to tear out old, poorly built one-car garages that served an earlier era. We can build to every budget but we will not compromise on the concrete work! When I see poor concrete work I know that poor quality materials and labor will follow in the structure. NOT US!

    Garages
     
  • Additions

    Additions, more than any other remodeling project, require a problem solver. That’s Bob! Bob has been a problem solver from his earliest days working as a carpenter.  We can work with your plans and ideas or bring our considerable expertise to the planning stage. We listen, we communicate back to you, we help establish a fair budget, and we then move from desires and dreams to “DONE”. As with all of Home Customizers projects, we bring the best subs, the best materials, and the best practices to the job.

    Additions
     
  • Basements

    Most people see their basement as a dark, dreary space with no appealing attributes. You can get rid of that cheap suspended ceiling from Knox Lumber and that dated wall paneling from Plywood Minnesota, or transform that awful half-bath under the stairs into a high quality, desirable new bathroom. Transform your basement with modern materials, lighting, and the occasional Pella® egress window well!

     

    Basements
     
  • Attics

    If there is a way to transform a dusty, dark, cold attic space into a new play room, a home office, a spare bedroom or a complete suite with a bathroom, Home Customizers can do it. An attractive dormer for more headroom, new Velux® skylights, beautiful Pella® windows, or even a spectacular Palladian window assembly are truly transformative. Attic spaces need a problem solver who can address issues from day one—skills Home Customizers has crafted for over 34 years.

    Attics
     
  • Pergolas

    What a fun, easy, beautiful project that will define your yard or garden!

    Combine your dreams with our craftsmanship and you will enjoy a beautiful, durable, and functional outdoor “sculpture” to enjoy for years to come!

    Pergolas
     
  • Pella® Doors

    Pella® entry doors, storm doors, sliding patio doors, and French doors are all decorative, energy efficient options to consider. Enjoy more beauty and durability with less maintenance—year after year.

    Pella® Doors
     
  • Log Homes

    One of the most demanding of all new home projects is log home construction. You have to put your old rule book aside and switch gears. Our proven ability to get the best people on the job, however, does not change. With Home Customizers’ more than 34 years of experience, you can trust us to get the job done.
