About Us

WHO WE ARE

Following in the footsteps of past generations, the firm continues a legacy of providing exceptional workmanship, superior customer service, tailored designs, and a personalized building and remodeling experience. Uniquely, Andy supervises all remodels and new home builds working closely with each homeowner, walking them through each step of the design and building process to ensure every home is built to match the individual tastes and lifestyles of each client. Michels Homes’ extensive experience and expertise in building and remodeling have gained industry recognition. Most notably, Remodeler of the Year in 2011 and 2018 from Housing First Minnesota.

WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT

One of the best parts about being a boutique builder and remodeler is that all of our projects are distinctively different. Our clients, just like the styles of our projects, are unique and rarely ever the same. Current trends and styles can be ubiquitous which is generally the opposite of what our clientele requests. Here at Michels Homes, we lead with the most stylish trend of all…quality.
