🗓️ Today, we recognize Juneteenth, the day that marks the end of slavery in the United States.

Although the 📜 Emancipation Proclamation was issued on January 1, 1863, news of freedom did not reach enslaved people in Galveston, Texas until June 19, 1865—more than two years later. Juneteenth commemorates that day and serves as a reminder of the importance of freedom, equality, and opportunity for all.

As we honor this significant day in American history, we encourage reflection, learning, and celebration of the resilience and contributions of Black Americans throughout our nation's history.

❤️ 💛 💚 🖤

🏠 Thinking about remodeling your home? You've probably heard the horror stories...

A homeowner hires a contractor, everything seems great at first, and then demolition begins. Unexpected issues surface, change orders keep piling up, timelines stretch, and the budget starts to spiral out of control before the project is even halfway finished.

At Degnan Design-Build-Remodel, we believe there’s a better way.

That’s why we’ve developed Our Proven Process for Your Successful Project—a carefully designed approach that helps homeowners make informed decisions, minimize surprises, and enjoy a smoother remodeling experience from start to finish.

Our process is built around three key phases, which we'll be exploring in upcoming posts. But before any plans are drawn or walls come down, there’s one important first step:

đź’¬ A Conversation.

We want to hear about your home, your goals, your challenges, and your dreams for the space. Together, we'll determine whether we're the right team to bring your vision to life.

When remodeling is done right, it starts with listening. Ready to start the conversation?

Architectural Styles of the Midwest Series: The Bungalow🏡

Known for their charm, craftsmanship, and efficient use of space, bungalows have been a beloved architectural style throughout the Midwest for more than a century. While they share common characteristics like welcoming front porches, low-pitched roofs, and thoughtfully designed interiors, several distinct bungalow styles emerged across the country:

California Bungalow
Inspired by the Arts and Crafts movement, California Bungalows feature wide front porches, exposed rafters, natural materials, and handcrafted details that create a warm, inviting feel.

Prairie Bungalow
Influenced by the Prairie School of architecture, these homes emphasize horizontal lines, low roof profiles, and a strong connection to the surrounding landscape. Their clean, understated design remains timeless today.

Chicago Bungalow
Built primarily between 1910 and 1940, Chicago Bungalows are recognized by their durable brick construction, large front windows, and practical layouts designed for urban neighborhoods. Thousands still define the character of Chicago's residential streets.

No matter the style, bungalows were designed to maximize comfort, functionality, and craftsmanship—principles that remain just as important in today's homes.

At Degnan Design-Build-Remodel, we believe great design starts with understanding how you live. That's why we Design For Your Life®, creating spaces that reflect your needs, your routines, and your vision for the future.

We're kicking off a new series exploring architectural housing styles found throughout the Midwest.

🏡 First Up: The Barndominium
Across the Midwest, homeowners are embracing a unique housing style that combines rustic charm with modern living—the Barndominium. Originally inspired by agricultural buildings, today's barndominiums have evolved into beautiful custom homes that offer flexibility, durability, and spacious open-concept living.
✨ Notable Exterior Features:
• Metal or steel-sided exteriors with exceptional durability
• Large covered porches perfect for enjoying Midwest sunsets
• Simple rooflines with modern farmhouse influences
• Expansive windows that bring in natural light
• A blend of rural character and contemporary design
✨ Popular Interior Design Elements:
• Vaulted ceilings with exposed beams or trusses
• Wide-open floor plans ideal for entertaining and family gatherings
• Spacious kitchens with oversized islands and abundant storage
• Industrial, farmhouse, or modern-rustic finishes
• Flexible spaces for home offices, workshops, hobby areas, or multi-generational living
One of the biggest advantages of a barndominium is its ability to balance practicality with style. Whether you're looking for a country retreat, a family home, or a modern rural estate, this architectural style offers endless customization possibilities.

Over the coming weeks, we'll explore additional Midwest housing styles and the design elements that make each one unique.

Your dream kitchen and bathroom are finally complete — now keep them performing beautifully with high‑quality water. Water quality affects everything from your fixtures and appliances to your family’s health. Here are a few smart upgrades to consider:
🔬 Start with a Water Test — Testing reveals impurities and helps you choose the right solutions.
🚰 Install a Filtration System — Whole‑house filters, reverse osmosis, and shower filters can dramatically improve taste and safety.
🚿 Add a Water Softener — Reduce scale buildup, protect plumbing, and enjoy softer skin, hair, and laundry.
🛠️ Replace Old Galvanized Pipes — Older homes may have corroded pipes that affect performance and water quality.
💧 Drain Your Water Heater — Removing sediment boosts efficiency and improves hot water quality.

Dreaming of a laundry room or mudroom that actually works for your family? 🧺✨So many homes have cramped garage entries, awkward hallways, and laundry spaces that become clutter catch-alls. But with thoughtful design, those overlooked spaces can become some of the hardest-working — and best-looking — rooms in your home. In these recent remodels, we transformed tight, dysfunctional layouts into beautiful, organized spaces built for real life:
✔️ Open-concept mudroom + laundry layouts
✔️ Custom cabinetry designed around every inch of storage
✔️ Built-in benches, shoe cubbies & coat storage
✔️ Hidden spaces for vacuums, cleaning supplies & overflow items
✔️ Dedicated charging stations & family drop zones
✔️ Fold-out drying racks & hanging space for laundry
✔️ Functional layouts that make daily routines easier
By removing unnecessary walls, closets, and awkward doorways, these homeowners gained bright, welcoming spaces that are both functional and beautiful — spaces they actually enjoy walking through every day. The best remodels aren’t just about adding storage. They’re about creating spaces that support the way your family lives.
