Make plans now to attend the 2013 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, you will see technology used in ways you probably didn’t know existed and you will discover how important it is to have a qualified builder do your next project.
This year’s Parade of Homes features nine new homes within a broad price range, so there’s sure to be something that everyone can relate to. With the addition of a few builders that haven’t been in the Parade for a few years, you’ll want to make sure you see them all. We’ve even included a major remodeling project 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. The winning home will be featured on the cover of next year’s Parade of Homes book.
With low interest rates, what better time to check out your local options in home construction, remodeling and design? Come check out the 2013 Parade of Homes—you don’t want to miss it!
Welcome to the La Crosse Area Builders Association 2013 Parade of Homes. I hope you will take time to visit all
of the projects our builders have prepared for you. From new homes to remodeling projects, you will have the opportunity to see some of the new products on display. If you are looking for ideas to build new, remodel or add on to your existing home, you can see what the professionals can do for you. This year we have two homes built by the City of La Crosse Housing Authority—a great opportunity to see that you can build new or remodel an existing home in the city in an affordable way.
Builders that are members of the La Crosse Area Builders Association are some of the best educated in the industry. They have the educational arm of LABA along with the Wisconsin Builders Association to stay on top of all the current building codes, newest energy saving trends and products. No matter what you are looking for or whether you are just dreaming for the future, contact a member of LABA for all your building and remodeling needs.
Thank you for attending our 2013 Parade of Homes.

Any way you look at it, this spacious ranch home has everything you need on one level. Yes, you can have three comfortable bedrooms and an office on one floor along with nearly 850 square feet of open living and dining space, allowing plenty of room to entertain or host a large family. Off the dinette is a super-sized screened-in porch with lovely cedar accents, perfect for taking in a breath of fresh air. The home is finished with three-panel medium oak doors and trim. The kitchen features white cabinets, quartz countertops and a bi-level island for a distinctive look. The master bedroom suite has plenty of closet space, and you will find that the rest of the home has closets right where you need them.
If you have hobbies or “toys” you like to tinker with, you will love the four-and-a-half-car heated garage, which keeps cars on one entrance separated from the “toys” or tools on the other side.
Thank you, Don and Karen Benz, for choosing Lifetime Design Homes as your builder. We appreciate your confidence in us!

This original lake house was built in 1970. Since then, the owners have decided to make this home their permanent residence. Empire was contracted to gut the home and add on an attached garage and completely remodel the home from top to bottom. The home features a large existing wood-burning fireplace made out of beautiful Winona stone. The south-facing wall was structurally engineered and windows were added to increase the view and brighten the home. The roofing system was upgraded to add insulation along with spray foam throughout the entire home. This home has it all, from energy-efficient upgrades to a beautiful custom kitchen, a walk-in shower and a huge master suite walk-in closet. The owners love their added sunroom off the master suite, which offers gorgeous views of Lake Onalaska. Many are familiar with Empire’s quality. Now you can see it firsthand all the way from design to completion. The “before” pictures and the stunning remodel make this a must-see on this year’s Parade of Homes.

Changing Lives and Neighborhoods Through New Affordable Homes
This contemporary and energy-smart one-story home was built through a unique partnership between Western Technical College and the City of La Crosse’s Housing Replacement Program. The city bought a blighted, dilapidated home, demolished it and Western Wood Tech students built this beautiful three-bedroom house. From the young family starting out to empty-nesters, this home’s bedrooms and living areas fit many types of families’ needs with charm. The kitchen with a large island, the patio, the open dining area and the family room invite you into a wonderful open and spacious plan. This home features exceptional craftsmanship, with custom-made cabinets, hickory floors and new appliances. There are also two full baths, tons of storage and a two-and-a-half-car attached garage. The basement can easily be finished off to add on an additional bathroom, rec room and bedroom. Priced at only $135,000, it will be sold to an income-qualified family who must qualify for a 30-year conventional loan. The City of La Crosse’s mission is to change lives and neighborhoods throughout the city.
