T he philosophy at Vujovich Design Build of Minneapolis is building relationships and treating both their clients and remodeling projects with integrity and respect.

Recently celebrating their 40th anniversary, the highly skilled and knowledgeable team at Vujovich focuses on performing premium remodeling projects throughout the Twin Cities metro area. Although known for renovating homes built prior to the 1950s, they also have experience transforming homes from all eras. Their vast knowledge in construction practices and architecture gives them the unique ability to create their clients’ dreams.

For many, the idea of having someone working in their home for an extended period can be uncomfortable. That’s why Vujovich places such a huge priority on developing high-quality relationships with their clients, fostering trust and comfort.

“We want people to feel comfortable in this type of remodeling situation,” says Ed Roskowinski, owner and general manager. “We treat people, their homes and their lifestyle with respect. It’s a different philosophy than just tearing something apart and running away.”

Similarly, the company reaches out to their client’s neighbors, giving them a contact to reach out to in case they have frustrations with the work going on in their

neighborhood. It’s all about being proactive with solving problems and facing challenges head on.

Another way Vujovich stands out from its competition is the way they help their clients’ unique projects come to life. Instead of creating their own design with minimal input from the client, the team listens and is amenable to their vision. They pay attention and interpret what the client is saying.

“We’re guiding our clients through the process, bringing knowledge, competence and creativity,” says Roskowinski. “We really want them to feel like it’s their transformation and not ours, so we guide and steer them into creating their vision.”

The Vujovich leadership team brings a diverse set of skills to each project. Production director Chris McGuire’s project management background, director of client services and business development Beth Malmberg’s business and relationship skills, and Roskowinski’s leadership combine to create the team. Vujovich is an incredible team that is creative, attentive, reliable and committed to integrity.

Dedicated to providing the best for children and their families

Choosing a childcare provider is an important decision for every family. Through its outstanding staff and personalized curriculum,

Children’s Discovery Academy works hard to fulfill its mission to serve families through the exceptional care and education of children.

The original founders started Children’s Discovery Academy over 35 years ago, when they found themselves in search of quality childcare programs for their own children. Their goal was to create a program that is safe and welcoming, and provides a strong educational environment for the children in their care.

They opened the first Children’s Discovery Academy in Little Canada and have since expanded to Vadnais Heights. Today, the two locally-owned centers accommodate infants through school-age children with curriculum specifically designed for each age group.

But Children’s Discovery Academy director Andrea Vorderbruggen says it’s the staff that make it such an exceptional place for kids to learn. On average, its lead teachers stay with the program for more than 10 years.

“Having long-term educators has helped us create a consistent environment for our children—and their families can count on that,” Vorderbruggen says.

The high-quality, educated teachers are trained

to write curriculum and plan activities around the children’s individual needs and interests. To keep up with the latest teaching methods and approaches, each teacher completes over 40 hours of training annually.

Children’s Discovery Academy is four-star rated by Parent Aware, and is accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children. It has also won numerous readers’ choice awards from various local publications. The locally-owned centers have also been nominated for best daycare for the past three years in the Best of White Bear Lake Magazine awards.

Though Children’s Discovery Academy is proud of these credentials, it’s the testimonials from the parents of students that the staff values most. You can read these at ChildrensDiscoveryAcademy.com. And in a recent survey, over 99 percent of Children’s Discovery Academy families said they would recommend the center to friends.

Children’s Discovery Academy is open Monday– Friday from 6:30 a.m.–6:15 p.m. Contact the center to schedule a visit.

How can I most efficiently stretch my time and resources when I remodel my home?

Design Build is a method of project delivery in which one entity provides both design and construction services to the homeowner. During the design phase, immediate feedback on construction costs minimizes redesign time and expense, and collaborative design and construction facilitates the most practical, efficient, and expedi-tious construction methods. Design Build projects typically are delivered 30% faster than are traditional design-bid-build proj-ects, and at about 6% less cost.

DEVELOPMENT

When building a home, what is the best time to select a builder?

Select a builder early in the design process. There’s tremendous value in hiring your builder before finishing your design. You’ll make many critical decisions during your home’s planning stages, and the builder can provide cost information on selections, fin-ishes, mechanical options and even potential site concerns so you don’t end up having to make cuts because you’re over budget. The result? Your home retains the full value of your investment.

We have celebrated, hugged and cried, laughed so hard milk has squirted out of more

than one nose. It’s a place where new faces become friends and where fami-lies gather in all seasons to share their stories. It’s a place where many of life’s biggest events happen.

As designers of this space we work to create functional plans to accom-modate each clients’ individual needs. The aesthetic element is also important. Building a kitchen that feels like it be-longs in the space is a must.

At the heart of the function/aesthetic element is more than planning a space and imagining a beautiful look. The true core of the kitchen design process

begins with our understanding what takes place in this new space long after we’ve completed your project. We know this is where your big events will hap-pen – and yes, there will likely be some serious laughing.

When we sell our home, will we recoup our money remodeling our kitchen?

While today’s average recoup for a kitchen remodel is 53%, remodeling your kitchen definitely will help sell your home.

If your timeframe is 5 years, choose moderately priced appliances and finishes – transitional style with a timeless color scheme.

If your timeframe is 5-10 years, splurge a little – and have more time to enjoy your new kitchen!

How do I know what plants will work in my yard?

There are three main factors to consider when developing your outdoor space and selecting appro-priate plant material: sun exposure, soil type, and drainage. Proper sun exposure promotes the health of a blooming plant and provides the protection a shade plant needs. Amending your soil with peat-moss will help aerate dense/clay soil. Your plant material’s first year is criti-cal. The most common mistake is believing that a sprinkler system is enough.

What trend in window dressings should we consider as we plan our new window treatments?

With the relentless advance-ment of technology, increasing numbers of our clients ask for battery-powered, motorized blinds and shades. They’re easy to install, operate and maintain – and the battery pack is hidden behind the headrail so there’s nothing to mar the beauty of your window treatments. You can control your shades with voice commands via Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant, or use your phone, tablet or the PowerView remote control.

Marketing in the Community Lifestyle magazines gives my businesses more

exposure in those communities. I’m a huge advocate of “buying and doing business

locally” and I can think of no better way of showing this than by advertising my brand in

the corresponding mediums. —Chad Babcock, State Farm
