2020 Year in Review: A Year Like No Other

2020 has been a year like no other. From a promising start to all areas of life shifting because of the COVID-19 pandemic, it’s been a wild ride!

Thankfully, our team was still involved in many rewarding projects this past year, from breaking ground on new neighborhoods to designing beautiful homes to launching Custom One Renovation to the Parade of Homes. Read an overview of our favorite projects below!

We wish you all an abundant measure of the things that truly matter during this unusual holiday season. Our traditions and celebrations may look a little different this year, but we can still be grateful for our many blessings.

We want to thank our amazing clients for choosing us. Thank you to our industry partners, suppliers, and colleagues who inspire us daily. And lastly, thank you to our team: you are the most talented, passionate people in this business!

Custom One Charities

2020 was a year of growth for Custom One Charities! Their generous supporters made the following possible: The Mix Event, Charity Golf Tournament, Blanket Drive for Bridging, 12 Days of Christmas, Board of Directors Established. Custom One Charities also supported their partners at Bridging, Make-A-Wish, Spare Key, Woodbury Community Foundation, and the Woodbury Boys Hockey Association. Stay tuned for 2021 programs, events, and opportunities!

Introducing Custom One Renovation

We introduced the newest branch of our company family, Custom One Renovation, this past year! Our team loves cultivating relationships with our clients, and this endeavor is another way to serve them. Families change as they grow; it’s only natural that their homes might need to adapt too.

Spring & Fall Parade of Homes 

The rise of COVID-19 may have delayed the Spring Parade of Homes, but we were fortunate to share four stunning homes, and a peek at two up-and-coming communities during the Fall Parade of Homes.

Introducing Custom One Renovation

Today, we’re excited to introduce the newest branch of our company family, Custom One Renovation! Our team’s been developing this venture for six months. However, our owner Todd has had this plan in mind for much longer.

AN IDEA

The genesis of this idea, much like everything we do, came from our clients. One of them asked us to renovate an existing Custom One home, and it got us thinking, “why don’t we offer this service?”

As we built a team to update this client’s home, the idea became a reality, and Custom One Renovation was formed! We love cultivating relationships with our clients, and this endeavor is another way to serve them. Families change as they grow; it’s only natural that their homes might need to adapt too.

THE TEAM

Our clients pursuing these new services will be happy to see a familiar face in charge. Our fantastic, talented, long-standing Project Coordinator, Julie Newton, is heading up this new division!

Julie has been with us for sixteen years, and we’re thrilled to have her expert hand at the helm of Custom One Renovation. This idea may be new, but our expertise, knowledge, and integrity are deeply rooted in Custom One Homes history.

OUR SERVICES

Custom One Renovation proudly serves Woodbury and the entire east metro. Our team helps families create unique, custom spaces to enjoy together for years to come.

Our remodeling specialties include:

  • Roofing and siding
  • Decks and porches
  • Additions
  • Lower level finishes
  • Whole house renovation

As we said earlier, the leading reason behind why we launched this division of Custom One Homes was from the requests we were receiving from past clients. It’s an honor to be the first call someone would make when considering a remodel. Adding Custom One Renovation to our family of brands felt like the perfect fit!

GET IN TOUCH

If you want to learn more about working with Custom One Renovation or start planning your next project, please connect with our team. We’d love to help you invest in your home!
