This Is Us
Leading With Relationships
Prepare for a relationship unlike any other. For us, the first step in any project is a face-to-face meeting. This is when we learn about each other. You share your dreams for your home, and we share how our design and construction team helps you realize them. This meeting allows all of us to decide if we are the right fit for your project.
Once we agree to move forward with designing your space, we ask a lot of questions. In order to capture the essence of you and the personality of your home, we immerse ourselves in the goals and style of life that you envision for your space. Armed with this knowledge, we design and create a singular space that is a true reflection of you.
Custom Teams For Custom Transformations
Because every individual and family is unique, every project is unique. The one constant is the relationship we cultivate with our clients. After thousands of projects, we know that remodeling isn’t always an easy experience. Because of our open and communicative relationships, we are well-positioned to help clients manage expectations and work through some of the less exciting parts of the design and build process.
Everything about our projects is custom - from the hand-selected team to the process, to the delivery. This is why we have developed a team of skilled listeners who are flexible and adaptable. Your transformation team is with you every step of the way, keeping you informed and allowing you to enjoy the process.
We Believe In Smart Beauty
We not only design and build beautiful spaces that utilize every square inch, we do it in the smartest way possible. Often, this smart thinking leads to design decisions that are universal and green design-friendly. We tend to create custom spaces with wide hallways and energy-efficient features because it is best for our clients.
Our take on accessibility and sustainability is deeply rooted in our commitment to designing and building spaces that stand the test of time. We use only products that have been proven to be durable and reliable for our clients. Our thoughtful approach to resale potential lends itself to timeless designs that are as impressive today as they will be decades from now.
70% of what we remove from a home gets reused, donated, or recycled.
Words To Live By
For more than forty years, the evolution of Vujovich Design Build has been guided by the principles on which it was founded. The company culture of “Doing the Right Thing” applies to our clients and their homes, our co-workers, our industry partners and our community.
Leading by example comes naturally for Vujovich General Manager Ed Roskowinski. His passion for cultivating meaningful long-term relationships has been a large part of developing a company where people want to work and homeowners want to do business.
Ed is also a tireless advocate for increasing the level of professionalism in the remodeling industry. As a past president and board chair of NARI Minnesota, Ed has been involved in working with local lawmakers on industry-related legislation. He is the creator and current board chair of NARI Cares, a 501c3 non-profit committed to assisting Minnesota homeowners in need by performing affordable repairs and remodeling projects that will help improve the lives of those less fortunate, and has been a dedicated instructor and mentor, helping shape the future of remodeling in Minnesota.
Not only does Ed share his time and talents, he encourages his staff to do so as well. Their dedication to good works and good business has been honored with numerous amount of awards - recognizing that our team demonstrates integrity and a strong commitment to ethics in all that they do.
The philanthropic endeavors that we are involved in are just as varied as the remodel projects we tackle. The Bluebird House and The Peace Bridge are just two examples of how we have engaged with the local community.
The Bluebird House
The Builder’s Association of the Twin Cities, Vujovich Design Build and Homeward Bound teamed up to renovate some key living spaces for four of the most medically fragile young men in our community.
The Peace Bridge
Realizing a six-year-long dream, the Vujovich team aided in the construction of this beautiful collaboration between a local US Architect and a Japanese artist. It stands as a symbolic gesture to peace and sisterhood between the cities of Minneapolis, Hiroshima, and Nagasaki, the Peace Bridge is a remembrance of the past and brings hope for the future.

We take great pride in designing and creating personalized living spaces that fill our clients with joy.
