Featured Remodelers
Showcase, 2006
More than 1,300 homeowners toured this
lovely St. Paul home as part of the fall 2006 Remodelers
Showcase. The family loved
everything we did--and when we asked for their
permission to show off their house, it was a resounding
YES. They were so proud. (See
more details on 3-day
event on REMODELERS SHOWCASE)

Tim Lemke

home. The family wanted it updated, but to retain the
feel of a 1920's gracious home in the Mac/Groveland
area. They got that…and much more.

(See kitchen and bath section
for details)
-
Extended the present kitchen, adding a first-floor
laundry room, built-in wine bar and wonderful Marvin
windows and French doors (see
kitchen and bath section for details)
-
Built new detached garage with upper level to match the
home's design details (see garage
section)
-
Updated stucco siding and added new roof
-
Wonderful patio area outside the dinette area, easily
accessible through French doors (see deck section)
-
Built a covered pergola leading to the garage
-

with a Commanding Backyard View |
| The Happy Owners
Speak! "Fabulous.
Wonderful. Outstanding.
"What better words to
express how we felt about our new sunroom addition. This
15x15 room is much too beautiful to call a porch.
"The easy-to-love Pella
windows with the built-in blinds make the room appear much
larger and the openness and brightness have extended our
living area immensely. The cathedral ceiling is so special.
We just love it all! "Previously we
had a deck off the house but couldn’t access our backyard
easily. Now we have a sliding door from the new sunroom to a
new deck. Better still, this deck leads to a bridge over an
awesome waterfall that brings you to a second deck with a
unique Stone Deck flooring. |
 |
 |
When inside looking out, these
exceptional Pella windows expanded the family's living area
space with light and openness. The backyard now is a
accessible, practical and just plain WOW with new decking,
bridges and amazing landscaping, including a waterfall under
the bridge. (More Pictures here.) "We tried to be open to the
unusual suggestions for the sunroom, decking and landscaping
– and both Tim and the creative landscaper were always right
on with what would please us.
"Our neighbors were so
impressed with the considerate letter Tim Lemke Construction
sent before starting this huge project. The letter explained
their effort not to disturb the neighbors more than
necessary, and their responsibility about cleanup.
|
| "We recommend Tim Lemke
construction to anyone who asks, and our neighbors have seen
the results of this company’s attention to detail. We’ll say it again …
Fabulous. Wonderful. Outstanding!" - T. & P. W. |

The Family Tells About the
Room
“When we wanted to add a
four-season porch, we asked our neighbor for a referral.
He had a professional relationship with Tim Lemke and
offered his name. We trusted our neighbor’s
recommendation because he always expects high quality.
“This 15’ x 16’ room was added for
the hot tub, a dream come true for our family. We have
very big windows on two sides and a 9’ sliding door on
the third side. The vaulted ceiling is a special touch.
The process went well, and any concern we expressed was
answered immediately. Everyone was so responsive.
“Most important to us, the project
was finished on time and followed the work schedule
closely. We were never concerned with the workmen in our
home because they respected our living space.
“It was a total positive
experience, and we’d recommend Tim Lemke Construction to
anyone.”
– Apple Valley family |

The hot tub is the center of the room
addition – and the reason it was built. The entire family loves and uses
the hot tub, except maybe the dog.

About the only thing that didn't
change was the address!
This 70-year-old home has had a complete makeover,
and from the compliments of neighbors in this
prestigious older neighborhood,
it's
a SUCCESS!
The previous owner had completed
some projects and was so pleased,
they pass the name of Tim Lemke's
crew on to the new owners.

blend together as one!

We're
so proud ... Remodeling
Magazine featured this project in
their February 1998 issue. The
article entitled, Best Face Forward, described the facelift of the remodeling project
on this 72-year-old home. The
article stated that the homeowner was inspired by historic houses of
Colonial Williamsburg and wanted to evoke images of gracious homes in
her native Virginia.
Front
of house:
Complete facelift with pre-finished cedar siding and a new,
larger entry that protects and invites guests in.
New brick steps and pavers enhanced the sidewalk.
Kitchen:
New configuration of old and new cabinets to give a more open and
brighter space and add a family dining area.
Second
floor:
This complete master bathroom remodeling project required pipe
replacement for added water pressure. A dressing room and closet were added – all essential for a
busy family.
Third
floor:
In the bathroom old lead waste and galvanized water lines were
replaced and storage was added in hallway.
Space well used!
Back
of house: The
homeowners wanted the back of their home to have less
"projections" and more space. A first floor laundry and entry
room was a 200-sq. ft. add on. A new covered entry was built to match
the details of the previous entry.
Custom-built
garage: What a
wonderful result–blending in so nicely with the rest of the house and
the neighborhood. And the grade was raised to eliminate drainage
problems. |

|
| |
RESULTS: Overall updated home!

Our
favorite testimonial is from this homeowner ...

A Special Space
This homeowner always
wanted to do "something" to their unfinished basement,
to
expand their livable space for their active and growing family.
Wow!
|
| |
As the stairway curves
downward, you get your first glimpse of the 1097 sq. ft. remodeling.
This family room has custom-built bookcases that obscured the wet
bar. Everything is first
class, especially the beautiful cherry-stained wood used in cabinets,
shelves and on the dropped ceiling.
Unseen
are an office and artist's work area hidden behind the French doors.
This great gathering place has added much to this home, plus it
allows the family to enjoy their beautiful flower garden at eye level. |

Remodeling Magazine
said ... facelifts aren't just for movie stars
and TV personalities. Cosmetic changes can also give building
facades
a fresh start and help beautify whole neighborhoods.
