Meet The Home Upgraders

Since 2010, Fargo Monthly has been bringing you positive, community stories and resources and we’ve loved every minute of it.

Now, Fargo Monthly magazine is known as Meet Fargo, but don’t worry—we’re still going to have all of the great content you’ve come to love Fargo Monthly for, however, we are changing our approach ever so slightly. Our new concept will be more people-focused. We always hear feedback that the people are what makes the Fargo-Moorhead community great (which we agree with). So, we decided, why not meet them?

This month, we will kick off our first true effort to do so with our home upgraders issue. This is not a comprehensive issue so if there’s someone you would like to see featured in the future, please reach out to [email protected].

How Can I Help Upgrade Your Home

My 3 Tips For Upgrading Your Home

Add A Fireplace To Your Home
“Adding a Fireplace into your home will help give a nice focal point as well as giving you a nice cozy space during those cold winter days.”

Expand Your Outdoor Spaces With Landscaping And Furniture
“Adding and/or expanding outdoor space with landscaping and furniture will give you the feeling of additional usable square feet for your home during warm months. This helps you get the most out of your outdoor living.”

Resurface Your Old Spaces
“Resurfacing old spaces (back splash/existing fireplace) helps give a nice refresh to your space to keep your home up with current styles while not having to do any major teardowns or rebuilds.”

Common Errors To Avoid When Upgrading Your Home!

“One common mistake I’m noticing a lot involves the use of thin brick—a popular choice for backsplashes and other design elements. Unlike tile, thin brick is an actual clay brick product and should not be treated the same way during installation. A frequent issue arises when homeowners smear grout or mortar over the surface, unintentionally creating a ‘German schmear’ effect. While this look can be intentional for some, improper application often results in an undesired finish that obscures the natural texture of the brick.

Another error I see often happens when selecting a fireplace without consulting an expert. Homeowners may choose a large, eye-catching fireplace that doesn’t suit the size of their space. Oversized fireplaces can generate excessive heat in smaller rooms, making them uncomfortable and impractical to use for extended periods.”

3 New & Cool Products We Offer

“Berlin gardens furniture and structures is a product line we started carrying recently. They have top-quality furniture with a ton of features and customization, as well as different styles of structures to match your design.”

“Mac Metals has been a very strong product for us for the past five years. They have the best wood grain steel siding on the market and many other profiles to choose from.”

“Daltile is a new partner for us, with their Panoramic products which offer large format porcelain tile that’s customizable, and their Xteriors Porcelain Pavers for landscaping are extremely durable and both products have many different styles.”

My Favorite Spots In Town To Unwind

“My wife and kids love going to Plaza Azteca, so that comes up quite a bit for a place to unwind and enjoy ourselves. Otherwise, we try and get downtown just to see all the different stuff.”

My Favorite Way To Give Back

“Aside from our involvement with the BIA and the Chamber, last fall, we did the Great North Pole Gala, where we had a table set up and I helped organize our team’s involvement. Six of us ended up going and delivering the gifts to the families.”
