Did you know the average family of 4 does 8-10 loads of laundry a week? Yikes! What do you think is essential for a laundry room to have: storage, a sink, folding area, built-in ironing board?

Tell us what would your dream laundry room look like?

Happy Easter from our family to yours!

Look at this dream bathroom with a picturesque view overlooking the water! It's our number one goal to provide our clients with spaces that allow them to shut out the world and just relax!

Tell us, could you relax here? We know we could!

Welcome, March! We've had a little break, but we're back, and we have an exciting post for you! Have you ever wondered if you can add a second story to an existing one-story home? Well, you can, and we have a video to prove it!!

This is a fantastic project with a great story! We built this home 14 years ago, and it's since sold. The new owner contacted us to add more space for their family. We're currently tearing off 80% roof and adding a second floor. We cut the roof into seven different sections, each section weighing between 3-4 thousand pounds!

Stay tuned as we finish up this project!

As we reflect on another year passing, we can't help but be grateful for the continued support of our amazing customers, subcontractors, and all of our amazing digital followers! Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

As the winter weather starts to move in, we thought it would be a fun time to talk about mudrooms! When building a home, we know that every homeowner's needs are unique. Our goal is to design custom mudrooms that will fit their needs!

Check out some of these fantastic mudrooms we've built over the years.

Do you remember the outdoor columns we posted a while back on our current home project? Things are coming along, and we wanted to do an update on what's been happening on the inside. We are currently working on this floor-to-ceiling fireplace with built-ins on both sides. Move into the kitchen, and we have the kitchen cabinets and large island installed! Things are coming together!

Our number one goal at Bashaw Builders is to customize designs and bring our homeowner's vision to life!

We wanted to send a very special thank you to Kris Freismuth from Wisconsin Building Supply! Since the beginning, Kris has been working with Bashaw Builders and takes excellent care of our customers! She is highly organized and takes the time to hear our customers when designing a house full of cabinets. Kris makes everyone feel welcome and is so fun to be around!

Thank you so much, Kris, for being an integral part of Bashaw Builders for the last 20 years! Cheers to many more!

Hey everyone!

This week we wanted to focus on our design side of Bashaw Builders. Our design expertise comes from our very own Sara Bashaw. Sara has been helping homeowners with all things design since the beginning. Whether it's helping pick out pieces of stone for an outdoor space, countertop options, or finding interior design options, Sara handles it all.

We have some exciting news that Sara has been taking indepth courses to get her Feng Shui Certification from the Mindful Design Feng Shui School. This particular program is one of the most thorough and intense programs, and she is so excited to have this opportunity to bring a unique element to Bashaw Builders. Stay tuned as Sara finishes her training in March 2022!

Here is an article from Better Homes & Garden about why Feng Shui design is important in your home! https://www.bhg.com/decorating/lessons/basics/what-is-feng-shui/

*Photos attached are from a project where we used a photo of an accent wall for inspiration! The second photo is what we came up with for the color scheme!

We are excited about the next stages of the current house we're building!

Have you heard of soundproofing drywall? Soundproofing drywall can be used in many applications, but we're using it to help reduce noise from above for this current project by adding it to the bedroom ceilings and common walls in the lower level. This is one of our favorite products!

For those who know us personally and those who don't, our family has a true passion for hockey, and we are blessed to have two boys who love to play!

We love hockey on and off the rink! Here are a few fun projects we've done. The first photo is a custom-built hockey rink Theron designed for a local family. There's something magical about spending a winter night skating under the lights!

The second photo is a set of custom-designed lockers that we constructed with the help of another Fond du Lac Company, The Combination Door Company. They supplied all of the materials and massed produced all the pieces for this fantastic project. We genuinely love supporting our local hockey players!

24/09/2021

Remember the construction photos we posted a few weeks back? Well, the condo is complete, and we were so excited to hand the keys over to the new owner!

From all of us at Bashaw Builders, welcome home!

Repost! Sorry, we had a photo malfunction!

We were excited to see these columns come to life on this new build! Have you ever wondered how stone tapered columns are made? Would you have guessed that the columns start as concrete blocks?

In this application, the concrete blocks were used to support the decks and shape the columns. The masonry work of building these columns takes tremendous skill and careful planning, and our crew got the design exactly how we envisioned it!

Be sure to check back as we continue adding unique touches to this beautiful home!

We recently had a customer come to us with a unique request for this floor-to-ceiling custom-built headboard. The wood and design couldn't have turned out more perfect! We truly enjoy bringing our customer's visions to life!

We are excited to give a little preview of our 6th and final Prairie Trail Condominiums project! These condos were built as single-unit condos, with multiple bedrooms and bathrooms, full basements, a garage, and a beautiful secluded backyard!

Condo Number 6 is currently being customized for the owner with a few added unique touches! The garage on this unit is more to the side than the other units. Every entrance is built with a zero threshold, making it easier for the homeowner to get in and out of the home while adding the options for wheelchair accessibility!

We are excited to show you the finished project! Stay Tuned!

Hello everyone, Theron and Sara here! Have you noticed that we've been working on increasing our social media presence over the last few weeks? We will be the first to admit that we're a little behind the times with our social media, so we decided we needed a little help.

We hired Alicia Mattingly from Mattingly Marketing & Consulting LLC to help us with our goal of providing a space for past, current, and future customers to visit and to get a sense of who we are as a builder! We felt this was an essential step as 2021 marks our 20th year of building beautiful homes in Fond du Lac!

Over the past 20 years, we've been honored to work with so many amazing customers; because of them, we are proud to say that Bashaw Builders is a 100% referral-only business. Our customers have helped us remain relevant; in an ever-changing industry! A special thank you to all of our customers!

At Bashaw Builders, no two homes are the same! We pride ourselves on not being a "cookie-cutter" builder. Our builds provide one-of-a-kind detail which makes every home unique to each customer.

A great example, we worked with a customer who wanted to hang a heavy couch swing under a pergola, so we engineered a solid pergola that allowed us to maintain the modern look the customers wanted and provided the needed strength.

We are always thinking outside of the box at Bashaw Builders! www.bashawbuilders.com

Join us on the 2nd Tuesday of every month as we provide educational posts on commonly used building materials.

First, up- Vinyl Siding and Engineered Wood Siding are the two of the most common types of siding we use at Bashaw Builders.

What Is Vinyl Siding?
Vinyl siding is a durable form of plastic exterior wrapping for a home, used for aesthetics and weatherproofing. Engineered primarily from polyvinyl chloride (PVC) resin, vinyl siding is a convenient addition to your home because it precludes the need for painting every few years and other hassles of regular maintenance.

What Is Engineered Wood Siding?
Engineered wood exterior siding uses engineered wood strand technology along with the SmartGuard® process to deliver superior protection against hail, wind, moisture, fungal decay and termites.
