Refined Home Additions
Enhance the functionality of your home by adding modern conveniences such as automated window treatments, heated floors, automatic lighting, and other features during your home addition.
3-Season Porch Addition
1921 Build, Ericsson
Minneapolis, MN
A young professional wanted to have additional space for entertaining. He was excited to make better use of his backyard by adding a porch addition adjacent to his new hot tub. Our homeowner found many porches for inspiration, and he showed us a picture of how he wanted it to look during the design process. The rooftop balcony is the cherry on top of a warm summer evening.
- What was once an unused, open backyard space has now been transformed into a functional porch to use nearly all year long.
- His cozy home now has even more square footage.
- With windows throughout, you can keep bugs outside while letting fresh air in. Say goodbye to pesky mosquitoes!
Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU)
Mac Groveland, Saint Paul, MN
ADUs are a great way to add value to your property while maximizing every square foot of the property. Building an ADU is the ultimate home addition, and has become increasingly popular in the Twin Cities. ADUs can be used as a convenient home office or workspace, a place for visitors from outside the area, or even as a source of passive income from rental units. ADUs can help conserve land and provide independence while supporting aging-in-place and multi-generational living.
- This is not just a garage band garage. We’ve created a separate space from the family living area to work from home.
- Separate stairs and walk-in entrance from street and yard.
- Dedicated studio space with both kitchenette and bathroom. Suitable for renting.
- Separate heating, cooling, and electricity from the main house.
- Millwork, fixtures, tiles, and accents made to match and complement the main house.
- 3-stall garage port on the main floor with high ceilings and loading doors to the backyard.

Excellent service! I loved being able to discuss large and small projects for my home for different options. Exceptional quality of work. I hired Refined Homes at least 3 times each year over a 5 year period and was extremely pleased with the work, outcome and communication. If you have a home project, please call Refined Homes! You will not be disappointed!

-Customer Feedback via Survey Monkey
We have nothing but great things to say! We hired Refined Homes to do a complete basement overhaul and are so happy with the outcome! We had a unique structural component that we debated about dealing with due to cost. But we are so happy we went for it, adding an entire bedroom with a closet and egress window. Our home feels so much bigger with the finished space. The work quality is fantastic! Ian and Tricia were true professionals throughout the entire process and the nicest people to work with. All of the subcontracts they used were just as great. They did a great job cleaning up after their day; we always knew where things were at with orders and timelines, and they were quick to respond and explain any questions we had. You will not be disappointed with Refined Homes!
Not only were the contractors respectful and courteous, all of the subcontractors were as well. If I had more projects, I'd hire them again in a heartbeat.
