ROSEVILLE, MINN. (Feb. 2021) — Housing First Minnesota is proud to present the Spring 2021 Parade of Homes Remodelers Showcase which is designed to connect area homeowners with remodelers. The tour lets families see real remodeling projects and learn how remodeling can help them remain in their community when their homes no longer fit their needs. COVID-19 safety precautions will be taken at each home to ensure the experience is safe for all.
This spring, visitors can tour 34 remodeled homes by 28 professional remodeling companies March 26-28 from 12-6 p.m. The public is welcome to tour all the homes free of charge, except for one Remodeled Dream Home that includes a $5 admission to support the Housing First Minnesota Foundation.
Guidebook Features All 34 Homes and More
The comprehensive magazine-style guidebook features photos, directions and descriptions for all the homes to help visitors plan their tour. Guidebooks are free and can be picked up at any area Holiday Stationstore. There are also a variety of interesting articles to read for inspiration and information.
The guidebook shares the remodeling journey of real Minnesotans. There’s a calendar of events that several remodelers are hosting during the tour and design ideas and tips.
Dream Home Benefits Housing First Minnesota’s Charitable Arm
A $5 admission from visitors who tour our Remodeled Dream Home helps the Housing First Minnesota Foundation build and remodel homes and facilities for those in need. This spring’s Remodeled Dream Home is: #R28 Sustainable 9 Design + Build in St. Paul.
Safety Guidelines
Our highest priority remains everyone’s health and well-being, which means things will look a little different when touring homes during the Remodelers Showcase. Our remodelers have implemented a series of safety precautions to keep visitors safe. Homes will have access limited to 10 people at a time and masks are required. Homebuyers will be able to shop for homes in person with these added safety precautions and social distancing measures, along with the additional virtual capabilities. All visitors are encouraged to review the full safety recommendations at ParadeofHomes.org before heading out to tour.
App & Website Make Touring Even Easier
The comprehensive website at www.ParadeofHomes.org makes planning a tour a breeze. The site includes all 34 remodeled projects easily searchable by location, remodeler and project type. Integrated company pages provide more information about each remodeling firm. And there’s a link to the guidebook in digital form. There’s also the Tour Planner which can combine new and remodeled tour homes, offers multiple tour routes and works directly from a mobile device.
A Parade of Homes app allows visitors to save favorite homes, map routes seamlessly, track home features in the Idea Book, and search builders and remodelers. The app is available under Parade of Homes Minnesota in both the App Store and Google Play store and includes all 34 remodeled homes on the Remodelers Showcase.
Projects of All Types
Bathroom and kitchen renovations remain the top two most popular projects on the tour, with 27 new kitchens, 15 new bathrooms and 15 main-level remodels. There are gorgeous new bedrooms, mudrooms, offices, exteriors, porches and decks to tour, all showing the latest in design, materials, products and construction techniques from the region’s best professional remodelers.
