Imagine building a home with a fun, streamlined, and proven design process. With well-thought-out floor plans to consider every person, or even pets, living in the home. Where design decisions are made in advance of building and upgrades are recommended to suit you and your budget so you won’t have any pressure to make in-the-moment decisions. There’s a detailed construction timeline and correspondence so you know when and what is happening. And then, you walk into your new home once construction is complete.
- Repurposed building materials salvaged during deconstruction and teardown.
- Universal design considerations for every room. Even a special faucet for filling the dog dish.
- Frequent entertaining deserves multiple rooms for parties and at least two wet bars.
- Automatic shades set to rise and lower at certain times of day for more privacy and comfort.
- Heated bathroom floors for maximum comfort and usable square footage.
- Hers and his bathrooms. And even one for the kids.
- Smart lighting to illuminate when rooms are entered and darken when rooms are inactive.
- Maximized garage space with a car lift.
- Advanced home security with easy-to-use modes. With a touch of a button, vacation mode is activated, and the home always looks inhabited.
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 essentially building another house on the property, and has become increasingly popular in the Twin Cities. They can also 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.

Everything went great and we appreciate the personal attention and commitment to the agreed upon timeline. Our kitchen update looks fantastic.
-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.
