STRANDPARK

COON RAPIDS WHOLE HOUSE REMODEL REVOLVES AROUND KITCHEN

Nestled on the shores of Crooked Lake in Anoka County, this modest 1970s two-story was purchased by the son of owner Strandpark Properties as a home to grow into.  Michael Smith, wife and teacher Lisa Smith, fully accepted the challenge of remodeling this home with of course lots of help from Strandpark Properties. Design| Build | Remodel.  

“I think every homeowner that accepts the remodeling challenge feels at some point they have bitten off a bit more than they bargained for,” explains Strandpark Properties, now the president of the company.  “But that’s just the creative nature of remodeling.  I would say I have an even better understanding of what homeowners go through now that I’ve done the exterior siding, insulation, laundry, entryway, bedrooms, fireplace, kitchen, and dining room not to mention a new interior hand-crafted custom ceiling.”
