Project Summary
These Excelsior homeowners bought this property primarily for the lakeshore view. All was well until they realized that the floor plan didn’t leave adequate room for a larger kitchen remodel and a dining room. Their first attempt to design a large enough dining addition with another remodeler failed. So, they lived in frustration without the dining room view for years.
Fortunately, for all of us, their next-door neighbors had just finished a deck/sauna remodel with Murphy Bros. and gladly made the referral to us.
Now they have a 9 x 12 foot dining room addition, with an 8 x 12 foot deck extension off the dining room, all seamlessly integrated into their existing structure. To stay within budget, we re-used the decking to extend the deck off the new addition. We also designed a slanted pergola over the existing deck for added visual interest.
You know you’ve done a good job when your client gives you a positive review online. However, you know you’ve done an exceptional job when they also insist on a hug at the end of the project.
See what we did with this dining room addition on beautiful lake Minnewashta. And check out their neighbor's remodel Sustainable Glass Deck on Lake Minnewashta while you're at it!
