About Us

Meet Wade and Nicole, the founders of Simply Beautiful Homes

At Simply Beautiful Homes, we don’t just build houses — we create homes that fit the way you live. Serving Belle Plaine, Lakeville, Edina, Victoria, Mankato, and surrounding communities, we specialize in home remodeling, custom home construction, and investment property improvements that combine beauty, functionality, and lasting value.

Founded by Wade and Nicole, our company brings together decades of hands-on experience in construction, real estate, and property management to help homeowners and investors get the most from their spaces.

Wade, a lifelong tradesman and seasoned general contractor, leads every project with an emphasis on craftsmanship, efficiency, and long-term durability. From major remodels to custom home builds, he ensures each project is done right, on schedule, and tailored to the way you live.

Nicole, a licensed real estate agent with expertise in property management, knows what buyers want and how to maximize a home’s value. She helps guide smart decisions that enhance both comfort and investment potential, whether you’re updating a family home or improving a rental property.

We’re also proud to give back to our community. Last year, we participated in a charity remodel with My Happy Place Mankato for a family facing serious health challenges, helping make their home more comfortable and functional. Stories like these remind us why we love what we do.

At Simply Beautiful Homes, our mission is simple: create spaces that look beautiful, work perfectly, and increase the value of your home. Whether you’re in Belle Plaine, Lakeville, Edina, Victoria, Mankato, or nearby, we’re here to help bring your vision to life.

Our Design-Build Remodeling Process

Initial consultation & project discovery

We begin by listening carefully to your goals, priorities, and how you want to live in your home. During this initial discovery phase, we ask thoughtful questions about how each space will be used and what matters most to you. We review inspiration and reference photos, measurements and budget constraints to gain a clear understanding of your visions. This step allows us to align expectations early and ensures the project starts with a solid foundation.

Home Design & Pre-construction planning

Using the information gathered during discovery, we develop a thoughtful design tailored to your home and lifestyle. This may include concept drawings, floor plans, material selections, finishes and color palettes. Our design process ensures every detail is considered and clearly defined before construction begins, which helps prevent surprises, delays and unnecessary costs while delivering a cohesive, well-planned result.

High-quality Construction & completion

Once the design and planning are complete, we move into construction. Your project is carefully scheduled and managed to be completed as efficiently as possible while maintaining our high standards of craftsmanship and quality. Throughout construction, we remain detail-oriented and communicative, ensuring the finished space reflects the vision established from the beginning and delivers a result that is both functional and beautifully built.
