Introduction

Sometimes, your home just needs a little love. Maybe your kitchen feels outdated, or your basement is just sitting there, unused and collecting dust. Or maybe you’ve simply outgrown your space but love your neighborhood too much to leave.

Whatever the reason, remodeling is your chance to take what you already have—and make it better.

At JP Jacklitch Contracting, we’ve helped homeowners across the Brainerd Lakes area rethink and reimagine their spaces. Here’s what we’ve learned about the true art of remodeling—and how it can completely transform the way you live in your home.

Why Remodeling Might Be Exactly What You Need

Let’s face it: moving isn’t always the answer. Remodeling allows you to stay in the location you love while adapting your home to fit your changing needs. Whether it’s adding space, updating the look, improving efficiency, or creating something totally new, remodeling helps your home work better for you.

And the best part? You don’t need to start from scratch to see a huge impact.

Popular Remodeling Projects We Love Working On

• Kitchen Refreshes & Full Overhauls
  Your kitchen is one of the most-used spaces in your home. Updating it with better storage, more prep space, or even just a fresh layout can make your whole home feel more functional and inviting.
• Bathroom Upgrades
  Small changes like new tile, modern fixtures, or a walk-in shower can bring serious comfort—and often add value, too.
• Basement Transformations
  That unfinished basement has serious potential. Turn it into a home office, a rec room, guest suite, or whatever you need most right now.
• Home Additions
  Need more room to grow? Whether it’s a bigger mudroom, extra bedroom, or home gym, we can help you expand with purpose.
• Exterior Updates
  New siding, fresh trim, or a welcoming front porch not only boost curb appeal—they make your home feel like new again.
