This fun and interactive fundraiser was started because of the happy,
carefree child we envision playing in each playhouse. This kind of happy,
stable and safe home life is what everyone deserves. However, when
violence enters in, families face considerable challenges and need help.
Violence affects everyone in the family. Violence not only leaves physical
injuries, but also causes emotional injuries that are often most damaging.
Family Service Rochester partners with families to make real change.
We meet families where they are and support each family member
to address their needs and concerns, and make decisions for future
relationships. For some families, working to overcome the violence and
restore relationships is the decision. For others, finding ways for children to safely maintain relationships with both parents, who are no longer
together, is the outcome.
In all services, Family Service Rochester works with clients to identify
and draw on their strengths. This way of working with families is not
only the most effective way of making change, but also empowers each
individual person now and into the future. The programs Family Service
Rochester offers that directly address family violence are:
· Women and Children’s Domestic Violence Support and Education Groups** - For women and children who have experienced violence.
· Family Access Center – Supervised visits and exchanges of children
between parents in a safe, neutral setting.
· Project Restore – Treatment program for men who have been violent.
· Family Involvement Strategies*- Assist families in developing safety
and care plans to address child maltreatment.
· Domestic Violence Response Team*- Work with families of child
maltreatment where domestic violence has occurred.
· Domestic Violence Education* - Educational series for individuals
involved in a first time domestic violence occurrence.
* In collaboration with Olmsted County Community Services
** In collaboration with the Women’s Shelter
Raffle tickets are $10 each or 3 for $25 and can
be purchased at Family Service Rochester
or at the RAB Home Show.
The drawing will be held on Feb. 7th at 4:00 pm.
Playhouses are located in the Arena
Proceeds benefit Family Service Rochester’s work addressing family violence.

They say that when one door closes, another door opens, but what
happens if the doors are all off their hinges? That’s the question
facing the participants in our Doors & Windows Unhinged design
contest, taking place at the 2016 RAB Home Show!
The Challenge:Take an old, dilapidated door
or window with one foot in
the wood chipper, and turn
it into… well, whatever you
can imagine! Designers have
full creative license, as long
as they keep at least 50%
of the door or window intact,
and stay within certain size
restrictions. Be ready for
anything, from a stunning
piece of art to a comfy bench,
or an elegant wine rack.
Not even we know what the
designers have planned; you’ll
have to visit the North Lobby
at the Home Show to find out!
The Participants:Advantage Cabinets, Inc.
Bright Ideas
The Design Connection
Dynamic Masonry
Products, LLC
Eckert Construction
Hiller’s Flooring America
Master Builders
Merchants Bank
Rochester Women
Magazine
Think Bank
Tradesmen International
Weis Builders
The Prize:Sure, you might be thinking,
these displays will certainly
be fun to look at, but what’s
the point? What’s in it for me?
Well, these displays aren’t
just for show. You can buy
a raffle ticket ($5 each or 3 for $10) and have a chance to bring home your favorite
piece! You could win a cool
piece of art, or a functional
piece of furniture! Every single
piece will go home with a
lucky winner. And the winning
designer will be chosen based
on the number of raffle tickets sold.
The Reason:All of the proceeds from
the raffle ticket sales will go directly to benefit the Habitat for Humanity ReStore in
Rochester. The ReStore’s
mission is to serve as a
nonprofit, low cost home improvement store. They
sell new and gently used
building materials, and all their
profits are used by Habitat for Humanity to build homes,
community, and hope locally
and around the world. The
Rochester ReStore is located
at 3034 40th Ave NW.

Minnesota has gorgeous
weather for most of the year, and
more and more people are taking
advantage of it with their outdoor
spaces. Whether an elaborate
outdoor kitchen area or a more
simple fire pit slab, Sargents Gardens designs and implements
spaces all Minnesotans can
appreciate.
Jeff Feece, landscape designer
at Sargents Gardens, says outdoor hardscapes have become
popular in the last five years. “There are a lot of different ways
you can go with any outdoor
space as far as materials and the
look you want to achieve,” says
Feece. This flexibility means you can create the look you want to fit the space you have.
It’s helpful when customers have
an idea of what they’d like before
they start the process. Feece says
there are a few basic questions to
ask yourself before meeting with a
designer: “Do you entertain, how
are you going to use the space,
what is your general design style,
do you like to cook, do you want
a bar, do you want space for a
fridge?”
Once you have locked down
the nuts and bolts, consider the
aesthetic of the space. It’s helpful
when customers have images of
things they like, notes Feece. That
way the designers have a more
concrete idea of what the customer
wants for their space.
Sargents Gardens designs project of all sizes. From a basic
crushed rock patio with natural
stone edging that the Sargents crew is able to complete on their
own to elaborate kitchen, dining
and fire pit areas requiring an
electrician and a plumber, they
enjoy all projects.
There are many elements that
can be added to enhance an
outdoor space. Pergolas offer
shade during the warm summer
days while lighting elements make
the area usable long after the sun
goes down. Water features create
a unique ambiance, and while
elaborate ones tend to be higher
maintenance, a simple waterfall
can be peaceful and calming. Fire
pits can be wood burning or, for
more instant gratification, they can run on gas, allowing you to turn
the fire on and off with the flip of a switch.
Sargents Gardens will also help design the greenery to enhance the
space. “We really try and provide
as many options as we can and
as makes sense for an outdoor
space,” says Feece.

Lacina Siding & Windows hadn’t planned on
expanding their business into Rochester, but
when a golden opportunity arose, owner Matt
Lacina stepped forward.
Today, Lacina Siding & Windows is hoping
to reap the rewards of the potential real estate
growth in the Rochester area.
“My business plan had Owatonna as my next
stop,” says Lacina, “but the Rochester market
was presented to me by the Infinity by Marvin line of windows. They were looking to make
some positive changes in the Rochester market and looked to us for help with that.”
Lacina Siding & Windows has been selling
the Infinity window from Marvin since 2004. “Once we were approached by Dan Marvin
about the Rochester area, it was just a matter
of getting things lined up,” says Lacina. “It was
an easy decision to make when you believe in the product you’re selling and have the backing of a historically quality product.”
The fact that Lacina Siding & Windows and
the Marvin companies are both family-owned is a big plus.
As with all the products and services that Lacina Siding & Windows provides, quality that meets the customer’s expectations is vital.
For example, most people have seen the devastating effects of condensation on wood, vinyl and composite frame windows. Once the moisture gets set into the framing material,
it promotes rot and black mold. The Infinity window by Marvin is a nonporous fiberglass material known an Ultrex. Not only does the
Ultrex fiberglass not promote the growth of mold, but it also carries a true lifetime
warranty on all frame and operating parts.
“We like to keep our customers informed
about things that other companies tend to
hide from,” says Lacina. “Condensation on
the windows is a big trigger in Minnesota.
This is mostly caused by humidity in the
home, not the window itself. The other
advantage is that it will have no adverse affect on the Ultrex material, unlike other
products in the market.”
Condensation is caused by warm, moist
air coming in contact with a cold surface,
such as windows in a Minnesota winter.
At the end of the day, it’s about providing quality workmanship and minimal
maintenance for the homeowner. This goes
far beyond the custom fitted windows. Lacina Siding & Windows also offers the
LeafAway gutter protection system and
seamless steel siding.
The LeafAway system is a one-piece, seamless leaf protection system that is
custom measured on site and installed on
the same day. Making sure the customer
knows how this product performs is key.
“Our No Clog Guarantee states that
your system will not clog at the downspout
opening. Debris will get in the gutter
system, but not
enough to clog the
downspouts,” says
Lacina.
While Lacina
Siding & Windows
offers vinyl and cement board
products, the main
siding product is
seamless steel.
This is the preferred
product of Lacina
Siding & Windows
simply because of the
quality. The seamless
steel has a limited
lifetime warranty on
material and a 35-year no chalk, no fade paint warranty.
“Steel is a recyclable product,” Lacina says.
“It looks and lays nicer than vinyl on the home. We cut each piece to custom length to match
your house.”
Add to that the increased insulation value, or R-value. Seamless steel siding, along with their Low-E house wrap, will bring the R-value up
an additional 4+. The installation crews are certified and continuously trained to meet current industry and customer needs. Any
rotten wood or compromised materials on
the home will be removed and replaced.All this allows Lacina Siding & Windows
to update a home exterior without changing
the design aesthetic.
“We can update a home to maintain the time
frame it was built in,” he says.
For example, if you have a Victorian home with intricate details on the windows and very much enjoy the style, but not the maintenance,
Lacina Siding & Windows can handle it. The
Infinity window by Marvin has been approved for use by historical societies across the
nation. This is due to the options and overall appearance of the window. Siding carries 32 colors and multiple lap sizes and designs.
Lacina Siding & Windows was established
in 1996 in Mankato. The company now has
18 employees and is poised to grow to meet
future needs. The growth of Lacina Siding &
Windows has always been about satisfied customers. The move into Rochester may have started with windows, but as that segment of their work has grown, they have started getting siding jobs here as well.
“For me, it was just about putting one
foot in front of the other and letting the
consumer do the rest,” Lacina says. “If the
consumer kept choosing me, I saw that as
an opportunity to grow.”

It’s easy to get swept away
in the romance of a new
home – those tall ceilings,
that spacious backyard,
all the great amenities
that are nearby. Eager
young buyers are especially vulnerable. The mindful �irst-time homebuyer will keep an
eye on the little practicalities that many �irst-timers ignore. Here are nine points to keep
in mind before buying your �irst home.1. The home is designed
to attract you Sellers spruce up a house
before putting it on the
market, staging it with
attractive furniture and
accessories, baking cookies
and lighting candles to scent
the rooms with a pleasant aroma.
What seems like a nice detail could
be covering up a problem, such as
stinky plumbing or musty odors.
“Go back to the house at
another time and request that
there be no olfactory or auditory
enhancements,” says Suzanne
Whang, former host of HGTV’s
“House Hunters” and author of
“Suzanne Whang’s Guide to Happy
Home Buying.”
2. Empty rooms only seem
biggerDuring a walkthrough, think
about your own possessions and how they will �ill the space. Ignore the furnishings that are there – or
not there.“If the house is empty, remember that furniture will make
each room feel smaller,” Whang
says.
3. Track the appliancesMake sure the contract honors
the appliances that will come with
the house. And make sure it’s speci�ic.“Do not just say ‘washer and
dryer’,” says Diana Brodman
Summers, an attorney and author
of “How to Buy Your First Home.”
“Say ‘Maytag Model 800 washer
and dryer.’ That way the seller
cannot substitute an old washer
and dryer for the one in place
when the deal was made.”
Brodman Summers advises doing a walk-through of the home the night before closing to ensure
that all items in the contract
are still there and in the same
condition.
4. Face it: you’ll have to �ix stuff
New homes rarely arrive in
pristine condition. Be sure to allot
some of your budget for repairs, big and small. A pre-purchase home inspection will offer insight
into what projects might need to
be done.
5. The house will look
different throughout the dayVisit the house and surrounding
area at different times during the
day and at night.
“You’ll want to experience the
levels of sunlight and shade in all
of the rooms,” says Whang, who
suggests walking around the
neighborhood at different
times to see how safe you feel.
6. Gauge the neighbors’
happiness The best way to know if a
neighborhood lives up to the
asking price of a property is
to get a feel from the folks
who live nearby. Chat up
neighbors to see if they’re
comfortable with the area and
have had good experiences. It’s a good idea to meet people in the area or in your
building; you’ll want to be
sure you’ll be comfortable
living next door to them.
7. Good schools come
with a priceHave kids? Want kids? A
strong school district might in�luence a purchasing decision but be aware that a good school
means a higher price tag. What
makes a school district “good?”
“A person may want to research
the school district online,” suggests
Brodman Summers. “See if it
has made the news; look at the
demographics of the families
in that area; look at school
board meeting minutes and the
graduation rate.”
8. Your monthly expenses may go up
According to Brodman
Summers, the monthly mortgage
cost on a home is often is higher
than a new homeowner expects,
due to insurance and taxes, which
have the potential to increase.
She suggests making a detailed
budget and staying conscious of
the fact that certain expenses will �luctuate.9. A little courtesy goes a long
way“If you really love a house, write a personal letter to the owners,” Whang says. “It could make the difference between your offer and
a comparable dollar amount from
another buyer.”
Whang notes that some sellers
don’t want to sell a family home
to buyers who will tear it down or
make major renovations, so if your
plan is to keep the integrity of the
structure, let them know. A little
bit of home loving can go a long
way to making the best decision.

Every year, designers look forward
to the release of color trends. These trends have huge in�luences on everything from paint colors
to furniture fabrics to home décor
items like picture frames and vases.
2016 trends are mirroring what we saw in 2015. Teri Moger, designer at Hirsh�ields in Rochester, Minn., notes 2015 was full of
monochromatic color schemes, lots of whites
and grays. Everything was very simple and �lowing, she says. “There was not a lot of transition with color throughout the house…
pretty simple colors, that was our 2015.”She foresees 2016 being very similar. “I think we’re still going to see the pretty basic
color scheme with some bold accents,” she
predicts. Paint companies have already
released their 2016 color trend palettes, and
it’s clear to see: light, simple colors reign
supreme for another year.
Sherwin Williams 2016 color of the year is Alabaster, a white with an “oasis of calm simplicity.” Jackie Jordan, director of
color marketing for Sherwin Williams, says Alabaster is “’neither stark nor overly warm but rather an understated and alluring white.”
Benjamin Moore has also released their
color of the year for 2016. Simply White is a “crisp, clean, multipurpose white,” according to its description.
Why all the emphasis on white and light
neutrals again this year?
Andrea Mango, manager of Benjamin Moore’s Color Design Studio, says “White is a perfect way to de�ine a space in a really beautiful and sophisticated way.” By keeping wall colors simple, you can de�ine your own space in your own terms.If you’re wondering where all the bold colors are, don’t worry, they’re still around.
Moger says that brightly painted walls aren’t
mainstream, but there are ways to bring
in colors that coordinate with your whites.
Things such as lamps, mattings in picture
frames, throw pillows and bedding are great
ways to bring in other trending colors, such
as Benjamin Moore’s Blue Echo or Royal
Flush which also debuted on their 2016 Color
Trends palette.
Overall, the trends maintain warm, earthy
undertones.
Just because you like a color trend doesn’t
mean you should immediately jump on the bandwagon. Moger cautions that “the most important thing when you’re doing your home is to make sure it �lows with your style and what the style of your house is, not
necessarily what the trends are.”
Thankfully, with trends as versatile as
Alabaster and Simply White, you can feel good about the potential to �it them into your home if you choose.
WHITES AND GRAYS REMAIN HOT FOR THE UPCOMING YEAR
by ALLISON ROE
Pantone has released their well-
respected Color of the Year for 2016 and,
in a surprise move, has named not one,
but two colors.
Rose Quartz and Serenity are the two
Colors of the Year this year. Rose Quartz
is a lovely soft pink tone, while Serenity
is a powdery blue.
“Joined together, Rose Quartz and
Serenity demonstrate an inherent
balance between a warmer embracing
rose tone and the cooler tranquil blue,
reflecting connection and wellness as well as a soothing sense of order
and peace,” says Leatrice Eiseman,
Executive Director, Pantone Color
Institute.
These two soft colors are a vast
departure from the bold colors chosen
over the past years. 2006 was the last
time a softer color was chosen; choices
since then have included Blue Iris,
Turquoise, Tangerine Tango, Emerald
and last year’s popular hit Marsala.

So you’ve decided to move to a new
home, a place you can call your own. Some �irst-time buyers take this decision literally: They want a newly constructed home, where they choose everything from the light �ixtures down to the �looring.New construction is often more expensive than comparable existing homes, says Steve Melman, director of economic services at the National Association of Home Builders. That’s a key reason why �irst-time purchasers – who don’t have cash from the sale of their former home – made up just 13 percent of new-construction buyers between 2007 and 2009, the latest period the NAHB has tracked, Melman adds.But now, many homebuilders are targeting �irst-time buyers with features like the chance to customize parts of the home, says Tim Costello, president of Builder Homesite Inc., an Austin, Texas-based group.Here is a look at how builders are hoping to lure �irst-timers, as well as some ways the purchasing process for new homes differs from buying existing homes.ECO- AND BUDGET-FRIENDLYBHI research shows that buyers choose new construction because they want energy-ef�icient homes.“In new homes, EnergyStar is standard,” says Patricia Hanchette, division president for homebuilder Lennar Corp.EnergyStar is the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s label for home materials and systems. They are constantly improving standards so new homes can offer signi�icantly lower utility bills than homes built even just ten years ago, explains Paul Foresman of Design Basics, a Nebraska-based �irm that advises home builders.Ask about utility costs and put that �igure into your comparisons between new and existing homes, he says.Indeed, a study from the NAHB found that operating costs as a fraction of a home’s value increase the older the home is. These costs – including utilities, maintenance, property taxes and insurance – account for 5 percent of a home’s value for structures built before 1960 to just under 3 percent for homes built after 2008. Another NAHB survey revealed
that EnergyStar certi�ications are a priority for homebuyers; 84 percent of millennials say they are willing to pay 2 to 3 percent more for an energy-ef�icient home as long as they can see a return on their power bills.FINANCING CHALLENGESince the �inancial crisis a few years ago, getting a mortgage on any home has become more dif�icult, with lenders scrutinizing a borrower’s credit worthiness and �inancial standing, in addition to the value of the home.“Work with a mortgage consultant before you sign a contract [with a builder],” says Ron Sozio, vice president, Wells Fargo Home Mortgage. Buyers will want to ensure they get a loan before putting up a deposit and working with the builder, he explains.Lenders have unique concerns with new construction, adds Neil Caron, vice president of Freedom Mortgage Corp. in Connecticut. For instance, before a buyer can get a government-insured FHA mortgage on a condominium in a new complex, the whole project must meet government approval.In many cases, builders team up with mortgage companies and there can be advantages for both buyers and builders from
the partnership, Sozio says. The lender can ensure that a project receives FHA approval, for example, or a buyer could receive guidance to lock in an interest rate on a loan to be issued several months later when the home is expected to be completed to avoid borrowing at what the rate may be then, Sozio adds.Still, “buyers are under no obligation to use the partnering lender,” he says.PATIENCE AND PROFITSIn the boom years, buyers often rushed to be the �irst to purchase in a subdivision to lock in what they considered low prices; the last units in a subdivision typically sell for more. But when the housing bubble burst, property values depreciated and the last, newly constructed units in the subdivision often sold for low prices that competed with home-sellers in the subdivision who were trying to move out.Home prices have been up in 2015, with the median price increasing 8.2% in the second quarter to $229,400. Subdivision homeowners may be able to breathe a bit easier knowing they may eventually sell their units for a pro�it without having to compete with low-priced new construction in the same subdivision.
FOR SOME BUYERS, ONLY A BRAND-NEW HOME WILL SUFFICE. BUT PURCHASING
A NEW-CONSTRUCTION HOME CAN BRING ITS OWN SET OF CHALLENGES.
When only new will do
