Building a Greener Future: Custom One Homes Leads the Way in Minnesota

In Minnesota, a place known for its commitment to the environment, Custom One Homes stands out for its dedication to sustainable and healthy living. As a Designated Green Path Builder, we’re pioneering the green building movement, ensuring every luxury custom home we construct not only meets but exceeds environmental and health standards. This blog explores our journey as a Minnesota custom home builder, our green building practices, and the impact on homeowners seeking a healthier lifestyle.

Revamping the Path to Sustainability

Choosing Custom One Homes means opting for a Minnesota custom home builder that prioritizes the environment and your health. As a recognized Green Path Builder, we’re committed to ensuring 75% of our homes are tested and certified by the Residential Energy Services Network (RESNET), providing homeowners with a clear Home Energy Rating System (HERS) Index score. This dedication to transparency and quality sets us apart as a leading Twin Cities builder, offering peace of mind and a significant step towards a more sustainable future.

Educating Through Performance: The Home Performance Report (HPR)

Every Custom One Home comes with a Home Performance Report (HPR), detailing the energy efficiency features and anticipated energy savings. This report, grounded in RESNET and HERS standards, offers homeowners an in-depth look at their home’s energy performance, helping them understand the benefits of their green investment. With an average HERS Index score of around 50, our homes stand as a testament to our commitment to energy efficiency.

This is an example of a Home Performance Report (HPR) which offers an in-depth look at a home’s energy efficiency, as measured by the HERS Index. Custom One Homes’ average score of 50 indicates exceptional energy performance, making our homes significantly more efficient than both new and resale homes on the market.

Luxury Meets Sustainability

In our world, luxury and sustainability are one and the same. As a luxury builder committed to green principles, Custom One Homes integrates energy-efficient technologies, sustainable materials, and smart designs to minimize environmental impact while maximizing comfort and elegance. This approach redefines what it means to be a luxury builder in Minnesota, proving that high-end living can be both beautiful and eco-friendly.

Healthier Homes for a Happier Life

We believe that a home should be a haven of health and comfort. By focusing on green building, we ensure that each of our projects promotes better air quality, minimizes exposure to harmful chemicals, and integrates nature into daily life. This philosophy positions us as a green builder who doesn’t just construct houses but creates homes that enhance the well-being of every family member.

A Sustainable Legacy

Our mission goes beyond the construction of eco-friendly homes. As a Twin Cities builder, we’re dedicated to educating homeowners on sustainable living practices, ensuring that the green choices made during construction continue to benefit our clients and the planet long after the keys are handed over. This commitment to sustainability and education is what makes Custom One Homes a leader among Minnesota custom home builders.

Looking Ahead

Choosing Custom One Homes is more than just selecting a builder; it’s choosing a partner dedicated to creating a sustainable, luxurious living experience. As a premier green builder in Minnesota, we’re not just constructing homes; we’re building a better future for our clients and the planet. If you’re ready to take the step towards a greener, more luxurious home in the Twin Cities, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.

Luxury Appliances: Colors, Features, and Trending Items

Are you a homeowner who wants to upgrade your kitchen with the latest appliances? Look no further than luxury appliances! From steam ovens to hidden paneling that seamlessly blends in with your kitchen, these high-end appliances not only have cutting-edge features but also come in a wide range of colors to fit your unique style. And it’s not just about the inside of your house – outdoor cooking equipment like pizza ovens and grills can add a new level of excitement to your summer barbecues. Read on to learn more about luxury appliances and how they can enhance your home.

One of the biggest advantages of luxury appliances is their advanced features. Take steam ovens, for example. Not only can they cook food faster and more evenly, but they also promote healthier eating by retaining more nutrients and reducing the need for added oils and fats. And if you’re worried about maintenance, there’s no need to fret – many steam ovens are self-cleaning, making them easy to maintain and keep spotless.

Stylish Options

Another noteworthy aspect of luxury appliances is their stylish options. Whether you prefer bold colors or subtle hues, there’s a luxury appliance out there for you. Stainless steel has long been a popular choice, but now it’s easier than ever to match your appliances to your home decor. Hidden paneling, for instance, allows your appliances to blend in seamlessly with your cabinets for a cohesive look.

Elevate Your Outdoor Living Experience

In addition to indoor appliances, you can also elevate your outdoor living experience with luxury cooking equipment. From built-in grills to pizza ovens, outdoor cooking gear can transform your backyard into a chef’s paradise.

Imagine firing up a wood-fired pizza and enjoying it under the stars – it’s the perfect way to enjoy the Minnesota summer season.

Luxury Refrigerators

And let’s not forget about refrigeration. Properly storing your food extends its life and reduces waste, which is both environmentally friendly and cost-effective. With luxury refrigerators, you can ensure that your food stays fresh for longer. For example, some refrigerators have separate compartments for fruits and vegetables, which helps prolong their freshness. Others have built-in air filtration systems to minimize odors and prevent the spread of bacteria.

Why Upgrade Your Appliances to Luxury Models

Upgrading your appliances to luxury models is not just a step towards modernization; it’s an investment in both your home and your wellbeing. These high-end appliances come with cutting-edge features and stylish options that can significantly enhance your day-to-day life. They’re not limited to the indoors, either; luxury appliances can also elevate your outdoor living experience and help prolong the lifespan of your food.

Modern Mendota Heights Remodel

Custom One Renovation recently partnered with the team at Interior Impressions to breathe new life into this Mendota Heights home. Before remodeling, the home’s layout was choppy; many spaces were boxed in, with 3/4 walls blocking natural light. The client had a clear vision going into the remodel. The main goal was to open up the floor plan and improve the flow. They also wanted to give the house a more modern feel with stunning focal points and add a functional home gym.

This newly remodeled home has all that and more! The main level features a spacious living area highlighted by a brick accent wall and an eye-catching fireplace. A combination mudroom/laundry room oozes beauty and function with ample storage and two sets of washers and dryers. The lower level has texture and warmth with a beautiful barnwood accent wall. Rubber flooring, large mirrors, and ample space for weights and equipment create the ultimate home gym.

Custom One Renovation: Whole Home on White Bear Lake

Our Custom One Renovation team recently completed this beautiful whole home remodel on White Bear Lake. These fantastic clients dreamed of living on the lake for years, so they acted fast when this property became available! Renovating was always the next step in the plan; they knew it would take some time and investment to get the home they wanted.

We were given two main goals for this remodel: to create a private mother-in-law suite and build a multi-use space for taking in the stunning lakeside view. The homeowners also felt the space was too small and boxed in for their needs. To execute this vision, we updated the entire home, opened up the main level, and built an addition.

There are always challenges when marrying old and new construction, and these clients handled the bumps along the way with grace. They were amazing to partner with on such a large-scale project, and it was a pleasure to help them realize their dream home. There’s no better feedback than hearing that they never plan to leave!

Renovation Project: Multi-Room Remodel

Should we stay, or should we go? That’s the question this Minnesota family had to ask when they realized their home no longer served their needs. Staying in the popular Mahtomedi school district was important to them, but they knew a new construction home with all the features they wanted would require a significant investment. So, the homeowners reached out to the Custom One Renovation team to help them transform their existing home.

The family had two major goals for this project: to add the space they needed and to make the home more functional. The multi-room renovation included adding more livable space to the main level with a spacious three-season porch featuring a fireplace flanked by floor-to-ceiling windows. We also installed new countertops, a living room dry bar, and beautiful wood floors throughout the main level. The newly finished lower level adds additional living space with a bedroom, full bathroom, entertainment area, workout room, and ample storage. With an extra 1,256 square feet of livable space, this lovely family has plenty of room to grow and enjoy their home for years to come!

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!
