Heritage Remodel & Design

Steve Daughenbaugh is proud to be descended from a long line of Minnesota builders and remodelers.  

His great-grandfather was a carpenter who built everything from homes and barns to railroad bridges. Steve’s grandfather was a Twin Cities remodeling contractor for decades as was his father.  Steve first experience in remodeling was as a teenager digging holes, filling dumpsters and cleaning job sites back in the 1990’s.  Now with over 20 years of experience under his belt there is not much Steve has not encountered in the remodeling process.  Steve’s knowledge counts. His experience gives him the vision to see challenges in your remodel before they arise - he does not need to guess, he knows exactly how to handle every remodeling challenge.   

Steve knows it is vital to stay abreast of design trends, building codes and new products.  He regularly attends industry classes, seminars and trade shows.  He also has taken very rigorous classes to gain respected certifications in aging in place (CAPS) as well as carpentry (CLC).   

Steve’s greatest enjoyment is his role as Project Leader: He puts together and supervises a talented, award winning team of architectural designers and builders, in order to provide extraordinary remodeling design and construction services for his clients. 

Steve resides  in Maple Grove with his wife, Lauren, and their three very active sons, Isaac, Owen and Alec. 

Heritage Remodel and Design is a full-service remodeling contractor specializing in architectural design and residential remodeling in the Twin Cities area. 

It takes years of hands-on experience to develop the knowledge and processes that assure great remodeling results. Heritage Remodel and Design was founded with the belief that wonderful remodeling outcomes require outstanding architectural design and remodeling process planning and that is exactly what we provide to our customers.   Steve has the experience to make this happen.  Our goal with each client is to develop a trusting relationship that results in the satisfaction of a job well done.

We strive to continually build our reputation by providing outstanding design and expert custom craftsmanship, every single time. 

Our projects are developed and produced in tight partnership with our customers.  Continual communication from the initial contact through project completion ensure our customers are comfortable at every point in the process. Most importantly, we deliver what we promise.

Forget everything you’ve seen on television. Your project will not be designed, built and finished  in 30 minutes.

Not all remodeling projects need architectural design.  But for those that do design is the most essential component to a successful remodel.   If the design is poorly executed…. the final outcome will always disappoint.

Once the building process has begun Steve is present at your home almost every single day.  Steve’s years of experience support our talented craftsman to leverage their talents to produce the very best outcome.  Inevitably there will be occasional problems that crop up, Steve will be there to take care of them and assure the process remains on track and smooth.  Customer communication is key to a great customer experience and we will always keep our customers in the loop.  Steve is quickly accessible by phone, email or text from the beginning to the end to ensure a comfortable remodeling experience.
