Schrader & Companies Remodeler

Andy Schrader

How did you get started in remodeling?

I have a passion for well-designed and crafted homes that started by watching my father succeed in the interior design business as I grew up. I have been involved in designing and building homes for more than 23 years. I had a technical interest in homebuilding in college which led to a job framing houses for a reputable Twin Cities builder. Like father, like son, and my creative side took over. Combining my on-site technical knowledge and creativity, I took up designing and managing home construction.

What inspires and influences your work?

The combination of our passion for quality design and craftsmanship combined with the people who live in the homes inspires me. It’s critical we design and build homes in which our clients will be thrilled to create memories.
