La Crosse Area Builders Association President Signature Design & Construction Welcome to the 2012 La Crosse Area Builders Association (LABA) Parade of Homes! This year we are pleased to have a diverse showcase of homes on display. We hope you take time to appreciate the quality work that goes into each and every home. Even with a slower economy, we are fortunate in this area to have many quality homes by quality builders being built each year.

We greatly appreciate your attendance at the LABA Parade of Homes. As an organization central to the Western Wisconsin building industry, LABA is your resource to locate qualified homebuilders and remodelers to fit your needs and wants. We have an extensive network of builders, remodelers and other building professionals able to take a successful project from start to finish.

Make plans now to attend the 2012 Parade of Homes this August! If you are thinking of building or remodeling anywhere in the La Crosse area, you can rely on the Builder Members of the La Crosse Area Builders Association to get the job done right.

At the Parade of Homes you can talk directly with builders, see their work firsthand, and get many ideas on the new and innovative things happening in homes today. You will see stunning ideas in all rooms of the house, see technology used in ways you probably didn’t know existed and discover how important it is to have a qualified builder do your next project.

This year’s Parade of Homes features a dozen new homes within a broad price range, so there’s sure to be something that everyone can relate to. With the addition of two builders entering their first-ever Parade home plus a couple of builders that haven’t been in the Parade for a few years, there’s plenty of new things to look forward to. We’ve even included two major remodeling projects for you to consider. The homes exhibit the professionalism, authenticity and unsurpassed standards of LABA members.

Don’t forget to cast your vote for the People’s Choice Award after you’ve seen them all. As a ticket holder, you have the unique opportunity to vote for your favorite in this year’s Parade.

This coveted award is one of several that our Builder Members compete for during the Parade, and every vote counts. Simply write the number of your favorite home on the bottom of your ticket and drop it in the designated box as you exit the last home on your tour.

With low interest rates, what better time to check out your local options in home construction, remodeling and design? Come check out the 2012 Parade of Homes—you don’t want to miss it!

Bedrooms: 4 • Baths: 2• Square Footage: 1764 After a fire and major smoke damage in this home, Empire was contacted to put the pieces back together. The entire main floor was gutted back down to the studs, and all the framing materials were sealed to eliminate the smell.

At this point, Empire worked closely with the owner to change the kitchen and master bathroom layout, adding a walk-in closet and more room to the kitchen.

This home of course has new materials throughout the main floor and features the Empire Development Signature Collection from Dura Supreme.

Bridal Coulee W5220 Birchwood Ln. La Crosse

Paneling was “fancy” at the time this house was built. Since then, much has changed including building materials and styles, family structure and even the way we go to work. This house sat vacant because no one could envision it in the new century.

Kodiak Construction—a true design/build contractor—did see the possibilities and now invites you to come see this completely renovated and updated impressive house located on hillside acreage in the area’s original executive neighborhood. Privacy, a great view and a floor plan that works with today’s busy lifestyles—including an office with a separate entry—are just a few of the amenities this home has to offer.

It’s designed by MasterCraft Homes to maximize water views and outdoor livability. The main floor features a large master bedroom with a four-season porch sitting area just off it, a large private bath with a 60-inch shower and a walk-in closet with a full storage system. The second bedroom has a walk-in closet and the ability to make the second bath private for guests.

A den with library shelves, granite tops, filing cabinets, Internet and phone hookups makes paying bills painless. The kitchen is part of the great room with multi-layered vaulted ceilings, great cabinetry, granite countertops and a breakfast table creating a sense of luxurious living. The semi-formal dining room, living room with gas fireplace and built-in entertainment center make a great place to entertain. Downstairs is a family room, a third bedroom and third bathroom, and lots of future expansion and storage. Don’t miss this one! Last year’s Parade model. Now for sale! www.labaPARADEOFHOMES.com
