Enjoy A Welcoming Kitchen That Suits Your Lifestyle

The way your kitchen looks and functions is a highly personal decision. No single kitchen design works for everyone – that’s why different lifestyles require different kitchen setups. An aspiring chef needs ample counter space for easy cooking, while large families need a big table, comfortable seating, and enough room for every member. Your kitchen should be an excellent spot for entertaining and dining at the same time.

You know your kitchen is the perfect environment for you when it’s a true extension of your personality. Walking in your kitchen every day should make you happy and put a smile on your face. A kitchen remodel is your chance to create a living space that reflects your lifestyle and tastes.

Upgrade your home with a redesigned basement

Basements are much more than a place for storing unused items. They’ve also come a long way since the days of wood paneling and cheap carpets. A well-finished modern basement is warm, inviting, and just as beautiful as your home’s living room.

The main floors of your home might seem large enough for your family, but in time, everyone needs more space. If you have a basement, you have the perfect canvas to expand your living space any way you want. It’s the ideal place for hosting a movie or game night and having a fun time.

Whether you need a home office, a bigger family room, a gym, or a guest bedroom, we can help you make your basement fit your ever-growing needs.

A Private Retreat For Your Moments Of Relaxation

Your bathroom is one of the most frequented rooms in your house. It’s where you prepare for your day, but also where you should be able to relax when you’re done with your daily chores. That’s why you’d want it to be highly functional, calming, and relaxing at all times.

Having enough space, the right equipment, and an organizational system that works is quite essential. So if your bathroom doesn’t give you all that yet, then it may be time for an upgrade. 

Experience more comfort at home with a new bathroom that perfectly matches your style and needs. We’ll help you choose and install state-of-the-art features that will turn your dull bathroom into the oasis of relaxation you deserve.

Our Services

You deserve a perfectly crafted space that supports your lifestyle and suits your taste. We partner with you to create your ideal kitchen, bathroom, or basement, enabling you to live life to the fullest in your own home.

Kitchen Remodeling

Today’s kitchens are more than just food preparing spaces – they’re the heart of your home. Your kitchen should be an inviting place where family members gather, catch up with each other, and share happy moments.

If your current kitchen is limiting your activity, perhaps it’s time to change things up. With us, it’s simple to analyze the functionality of your kitchen space and create the perfect plan for better days.

Think of a kitchen layout where you have enough cabinets and where every pot and pan has its place. What about adding a kitchen island, a larger sink, or a pantry? We’re here to make sure your kitchen design goes beyond all expectations.

Basement Remodeling

Every homeowner finds out they need more space at one point or another. Aside from building an addition and spending a large amount of money in the process, you might feel as if your options are limited. However, if you have a basement, you also have a treasure trove of space waiting to be transformed into whatever function you need.

By remodeling your basement, you have endless possibilities. Whether it’s for entertainment, social gatherings, or an extra room for your growing family, we are here to help make it functional and unique.

Bring your perfect movie theater, gym, game room, or home office right into the comfort of your home. We will make sure your basement is personalized for your lifestyle.

Bathroom Remodeling

A bathroom should be a place of quiet, private relaxation – an oasis that helps you ease daily stress and make your routine more manageable. But an outdated bathroom limits functionality and can create a challenge for your whole family.

Your bathroom should be an extension of you. New vanities, heated floors, relaxing lighting, are great features and modern touches that add to the most essential room in the house. The design should always suit your daily routine and support your lifestyle.

If your current bathroom is outdated and could use a few changes, we are here to help you create a personal retreat. Get ready to enjoy a bathroom that makes you feel spectacular.

Get Your Dream Home In 4 Easy Steps

Our years of experience have helped us create a process that streamlines your remodeling journey. It ensures you're always on top of the changes we make to your house, so the end result will be something you'll love.

1. Get In Touch

Fill out our form and share with us the project you have in mind. We'll get back to you immediately to set up a phone consultation so we can begin to discuss your vision, your budget, and plan our next steps.

2. On-site consultation & Design

To ensure a result you'll love, we'll come to your place and talk about the design of your new space in detail. From the overall look, to color selections and custom finishes, we'll go over everything.

We'll also discuss the scope of work, budget, materials, and what to expect as your project unfolds. When we are on the same page we go over the contract to make sure you have all the information you need and are comfortable with every detail.

3. We Get To Work


Now, we get to the really fun part; the design process! This is where you are in full control of how your home will look. We can show you how your selections make your finished space look, to help relive any stress you may have. Once the final design is approved, and before your construction begins, we do a pre-job walkthrough to get the fine details sorted out and make sure we aren't missing anything.

Next, we begin working on bringing your vision to life while keeping you updated at all times.

4. Love Your Home

Before you know it, your home will be transformed into the perfect space for you to enjoy; all topped off with a professional cleaning of your space.

We offer a 5-year warranty and, on top of that, we'll do regular follow-up calls after 3 days, 3 weeks, and 3 months to make sure everything is working properly. On the 12th month we'll pay you a visit to check on everything and do any minor fixes if needed.

It's Always About Family

Hi, I’m Justin Pagel, owner of Rust & Sawdust Home Renovations. I love transforming homes into perfect living spaces.

We know family matters most, that’s why we believe in creating a space in your home where you can hang out, spend more quality time, and create memories together. There is nothing more satisfying for me, than turning the house you like, into the home you love. 

Our family story started a long time ago when we first tried to start a family. After years of hardship and struggling, we finally succeeded, and were blessed with a daughter who we named, “Grace”. Through this hardship, my business gives me meaning. It is the result of “everything happens for a reason” and I intend to make the best of it.

What Our Customers Say…

With each project we embark on, we bring our expertise to create a welcoming environment for you. Your appreciation is our biggest motivation to keep striving for excellence.

5/5

We had a complete kitchen remodel done by Rust & Sawdust. From start to finish Justin was amazing! He listened to what I wanted, shared my vision, and delivered on promises. Having your house torn up for months is not pleasant but Justin took all steps needed to allow us to maintain a functional home. Even with a few breaks in work I required, my project was done 2 weeks early! Unheard of with most contractors. I would never use anyone but Rust & Sawdust. I started out with a kitchen so small I was storing things in my garage. Now, I have drawers that are empty! My custom cabinets and countertops are extremely high quality and were installed perfectly. Justin takes care of everything from start to finish, which really decreases the stress that comes along with a big remodel. He even had my kitchen professionally cleaned before the final walkthrough! The quality work, excellent customer service and special touches just can’t be matched by other businesses. Thank you again Justin for everything you have done and for taking my vision and turning it into my dream kitchen

5/5

We hired Justin and Adria to renovate our 70’s kitchen. They helped us design every aspect of the project. We especially appreciated the selections they came up with, which saved us from the excruciating task of shopping for every item.
Justin and his team were always prompt and professional. Justin is a great communicator and always kept us in the loop.
Taking on this major project during a pandemic created unexpected hiccups. Justin went above and beyond to solve situations out of his control.
We give Rust and Sawdust a 5-star rating! We will certainly contact them with any future projects! Great people to work with

5/5

We hired the Rust and Sawdust team to take over our basement renovation this winter. 

From the beginning, we were so impressed with Justin and Adria’s thorough design plans, attention to detail, and thoughtful design choices that they presented. This renovation was seamless thanks to Adria’s help as the designer and Justin’s work as the general contractor. 

They took detailed note of our dreams for a family friendly basement including a game room, bar, family room, playroom, remodeled bathroom, and made them a reality. 

I will definitely recommend their services to all my family and friends and I will be calling them back for any future projects!
