Nestled at the base of a hill in the southeastern Minnesota hamlet of Sogn, this farmhouse had passed through the hands of 10 different owners in the last century. With obvious additions and a boxed-in floor plan, it seemed most previous residents had a hand in do-it-yourself remodeling. The home’s current owners had a desire to restore its architecture and update the interior.

Major alterations included removing the deck and building an inviting porch. A new dining room replaced the old back porch, freeing up space for expansions of the kitchen and family room. The remodelers—with a little outside help—also fixed what project manager Greg Schmidt refers to as “a bat problem” in the attic. Finishing touches included a new roof and fiber-cement exterior.

“The owners were very happy with the quality of work done and that we stayed within the budget,” Schmidt says.
