From Roots to Success

Humble Beginnings to Remodeling Excellence

Tenhulzen Residential, where we specialize in the unique and intricate process of residential remodeling. As a certified remodeler and aging-in-place specialist, it has been my mission to personalize each project to fit the dreams and desires of our clients.  The realm of home remodeling is influenced by numerous factors, including 

varied client expectations and the expansive impact of media outlets like HGTV. Our task is to navigate these waters, consistently delivering the exceptional service and quality our reputation is built upon.

At Tenhulzen Residential, we believe in transparency and ensuring that our clients are well-informed about what they can expect at different price points.

Roots in Carpentry and Family

Michael Tenhulzen’s entry into this field began under the tutelage of his father, who founded the company. Through working by his side since high school, Michael absorbed the essence of the trade, starting as a gopher, and transitioning through roles in sales and production management. This journey instilled  a comprehensive understanding of every facet of the business.

Ascending to Ownership

The decision to buy the company from his father in 2008 was a turning point, evolving from roles in management to being at the helm. This significant moment signified not only Michaels commitment to continue the family legacy but also to propel Tenhulzen Residential into a future marked by innovation and unwavering dedication to excellence.

Overcoming Adversity and Economic Challenges

Acquiring leadership at the onset of the economic crisis in 2008 posed unforeseen challenges. “It was a testament to our resilience that we not only endured but thrived in the face of adversity. This period in our history underscores our team’s strength and the depth of our commitment to the craft.”  -Michael Tenhulzen
