A vibrant family of five from Maple Grove realized it was time to expand their living space to better accommodate their active lifestyles. With three energetic children and a beloved dog, Gina and Patrick were driven by the desire for comfort, community, and a haven that would foster lasting memories.
“We were bursting at the seams in our first home,” Gina recalls. “It was the right time to move into something bigger, not just for space, but to create an environment where the kids’ friends could come over and have fun.”
The decision to partner with Gonyea Custom Homes was a natural choice for Gina and Patrick, given the company’s reputation for impeccable quality and craftsmanship. “We had heard nothing but praise about Gonyea’s quality and craftsmanship,” they explained. “Our closest friends had built with them, which made it an easy choice.”
Building a custom home became a creative outlet during a challenging time for Gina and Patrick. “My father had just passed away, and Gina was battling cancer. Designing the house offered a positive distraction, a beacon of hope during a difficult period,” Patrick shares.
Gonyea’s team was there every step of the way, offering not only their expertise but also a deep sense of compassion. “They were incredibly patient and understanding. There was never any pressure, only support,” Gina reflects. “Our architect was a joy to collaborate with. He gently guided us without imposing, helping us make the best decisions for our family.”
Gina and Patrick envisioned a home that was not only beautiful but also tailored to their unique lifestyle. “We imagined a space that was both contemporary and inviting, with a minimalist California Modern vibe,” they describe. “The sport court, workout room, and floating staircase were some of the many elements that aligned with our vision.”
Gonyea’s team excelled in translating this vision into a functional reality. Their expert guidance ensured that every corner of the home served a purpose, seamlessly integrating aesthetics with practicality. Whether it was the cozy sunroom or the bonus room where the kids could gather, every aspect of the home was meticulously crafted to meet the family’s needs.
The path to their dream home wasn’t without its challenges. Balancing a small business, health difficulties, and family estate matters, Gina and Patrick faced significant hurdles. However, the unwavering support from Gonyea transformed these challenges into triumphs.
“Gonyea’s team embodied patience and compassion. Their approach wasn’t about rushing or forcing decisions; it was about understanding our needs and supporting us through the process,” emphasizes Patrick.
Now, three years later, the family cherishes their home as a hub for community and
celebration. “We host every holiday and love sharing our space with friends and family,” Patrick smiles. “It’s a place where everyone feels comfortable, and that’s what makes it truly special.”
Reflecting on their experience, Gina and Patrick are filled with gratitude. “Building with Gonyea was a blessing. Their expertise and dedication ensured that our dream home became a reality,” they conclude. The quality of Gonyea’s work is evident in every detail, confirming their choice to build with a team known for turning dreams into reality. “For anyone considering building, build with Gonyea. They are more than builders—they are partners in creating your dream.”
