Our History

Showcase Renovations, Inc. was founded in 2001, licensed in 2002. It began with two craftsmen, Stephen Roche and Kevin Kish.

After attending college in the early 1980’s, they worked together as carpenters and honed their skills in residential construction. Working within our sister company, Showcase Carpentry, they were responsible for the carpentry on some of the largest and most complex residential homes built in the Twin Cities over the last 30 years.

Recognizing their love of the craft and having done a number of large remodeling projects along the way they decided to formally put their shared experience and resources to greater use and in 2001 started Showcase Renovations, Inc.


As a two-time national wrestling champion while at Bemidji State University, Kevin brings that same award winning commitment and dedication to his craft on every Showcase project.Community and industry involvement are important to Stephen. Stephen served on the Board for the Housing First Minnesota Foundation from 2012-2019 and was its acting Board President in 2018. Stephen has taught carpentry and ongoing education for the industry.
