5 Ways To Hide Your Pole In Plain Sight During
An Eden Prairie Basement Remodel

From Tasteful Tile To Stone, Make
Your Pole An Integral Part
Of Your Basement

Few things are as irritating during an Eden Prairie basement remodel as a pole right in the middle of the room. Poles and beams are there for structural support, but this fact doesn’t make them any easier to navigate around.

But what if instead of treating your pole as an obstacle to be overcome, you incorporate it into your basement design?

Pole covers range in material from vinyl to stone and everything in between. Depending on what you use your basement for, consider making your pole an integral part of your basement design.

Let’s look at just some of the many ways you can hide your pole in plain sight during your basement remodeling project.

1. Add Four-Sided Shelving Around Your
Pole In Your Basement Remodel

Shelving is integral to any room, and your remodeled basement is no exception. If you want to hide your pole, consider adding a four-sided shelf around it.

Not only does it put your shelving in a more central location, but it frees up wall space so you can have more room for furniture and other features.

2. Remodeling Your Eden Prairie Basement As A Home
Gym? Add A Weight Rack Next To Your Pole

Home gyms are usually divided into sections dedicated to different workouts, depending, of course, on the size of your basement. Segmenting your basement is ideal for working around a pole.

Add a weight rack or other exercise equipment next to your pole to disguise it. You could even use it to store shelving or gym clothes or add a shelf for your stereo system. The possibilities are almost endless!

3. Turn Your Eden Prairie Basement Support
Poles Into Tasteful Columns

If you’re aiming for a more traditional or Old World design for your basement remodel, transform your support poles into columns.

Pole covers are affordable and easy to install. When you choose Executive Remodeling for your basement remodel, we can ensure every detail falls into place to create the perfect space.

Choose from an array of colors and styles to turn your basement support pole into an eye-catching piece of architecture rather than an eyesore.

4. Consider Tilework To Make Your Eden Prairie
Basement’s Pole Part Of Your Design

Tile and stone are great options for making your basement support pole blend into the rest of your design.

Tile comes in all colors and patterns, making it a durable and creative way to help your pole stand out in the best way. Tile is incredibly resistant to moisture, rot, and mold, making it a low-maintenance option that will hold up beautifully for years.

For a more rustic design, add stone to the bottom half of the pole and paint or wrap the top half to look like a wood beam. This style works with farmhouse and rustic aesthetics but can be modified to fit into many other designs.

5. Add A Round Shelf Around The Support

This idea will come in handy for homeowners who like to entertain family and friends in their basement. Adding a round shelf is great for drinks, appetizers, and other food items so they don’t get misplaced throughout the room.

A round shelf can make your pole feel like an integrated part of the design that isn’t just functional. It’s stylish, too.

'We recently needed some work done on our home and used Executive Remodeling. The communication and suggestions concerning our project were clear and very helpful. The workmen respected our home, were professional, left the worksite clean, and, when on-site, accommodated our need to be in and out of our home. The project was completed on time, and the costs were exactly as quoted.'

We emptied out the basement for drain tile then re-installed what was taken out to preserve the investment in our nearly 100-year-old house. Executive’s team was supportive every step of the way. Their optimism and 'can do' attitude were helpful as we discovered complications. They got the right craftsmen for every step. We even added a new garden window to the kitchen upstairs, knowing we could trust them to do a great install. We sleep well knowing our wiring is up to code, and we enjoy a great deal of natural light in the basement because of their work.

'I can't recommend Executive Remodeling highly enough! From start to finish, they were responsive, communicative, and very easy to work with. They built a bathroom addition for us and stayed on budget and timeline throughout the entire project. All the people they brought in to work on the project were also kind, competent, and efficient. The team at Executive Remodeling went out of their way to ensure that everything went smoothly and the project turned out great!'

1. This was our first big renovation. We weren't prepared for some of the decisions we needed to make before the project started. 2. Guidelines for what was expected of us before the project began wasn't clear, such as selection of: backsplash, lighting , tiles etc. 3. Once the project began, Executive Remodeling gave us a clear timeline with weekly updates. 4. Executive Remodeling staff was very courteous and respectful as were their contractors. 5. They informed us of what they were going to do with construction details i.e. - poly barriers, dust, etc. 6. They also had an excellent cleaning crew who did more than we expected. 7. We are extremely satisfied with the kitchen renovation and we will definitely have them involved in our other renovations.

We used Executive Remodeling to finish our basement. As first time homeowners with no construction experience, we could not have asked for an easier process. Workmanship was incredible, everything ran on time, communication was excellent, and we couldn’t be happier with the end product. We would recommend them to anyone, and already have! We will definitely use them for any future projects that come up. Thanks so much to Ryan, Reed, and Katie!

Excellent. Prompt and great workmanship. Very little disruption to our routine, and they cleaned up professionally. Handled the dealings with the insurance company as repair was caused by hail damage. This made the whole process easy. They also brought all the samples to our house for selection which was very efficient for us. Highly recommend Executive Remodeling.

After meeting with several Twin Cities contractors to find the right fit for our dream home addition, we chose Executive Remodeling because we valued their honesty, experience, and straightforward approach to planning and project execution. The team was easy to work with and responsive. We were treated with honesty and integrity and got an incredible amount of value for our investment. We couldn't be happier with the results.

Our experience with Executive Remodeling was excellent from Day One! We had our entire basement done, and they were great at helping put together our ideas with what was doable, staying within budget, and turning out a beautiful finished product. All of the trades that came were professional, courteous, cleaned up well after themselves, and did a beautiful job. We couldn't be more pleased and heartily recommend them!
