July 2014 - Customer Spotlight, Minnesota Porch Renovation

Customer Spotlight: Minnesota Porch Renovation The homeowner is “something of an aficionado on Victorian design,” says residential designer Paul Knutson. “On my first visit to their home, I was struck by her sizeable collection of periodicals and books on the subject. Clearly she'd been planning this porch renovation for some time and had a huge lead on me. Thankfully I found your company." Snowy day before renovation "Our clients wanted an authentic Victorian 'gingerbread' porch on their home and they wanted it to look as though it had always been there. That's exactly what we gave them and they love it."
