During each Remodelers Showcase tour, BATC’s charitable arm, the BATC Foundation, selects very special Remodelers Showcase remodeled homes as their Artisan Dream Remodeled Homes. The public is invited to help area families in need by visiting these homes, which require a $5.00 donation to enter. All proceeds help continue the Foundation’s work building and remodeling homes for low-income or specially challenged Twin Cities’ families. All other Remodeled Homes are open for viewing at no cost.
This Spring, three Remodelers Showcase Dream Remodeled Homes are open for touring:

After extensive fire damage, this traditional New England saltbox-styled Wayzata home provided a blank slate to fulfill the owners’ dreams.

- Addition number three: a new front portico to welcome family and guests
- Addition number four: an inviting open porch to enhance the backyard
