Pricing & Estimates
How much does it cost to remodel a kitchen in Wisconsin?+
Kitchen remodeling costs depend on the room size, existing conditions, materials, layout changes, and project scope. Request a free estimate so we can review your project and prepare a proposal. We respond within 1 business day and agree on the estimate timeline with you.
How much does a deck cost in Green Bay?+
The cost of a deck depends on its size, height, materials, stairs, railings, site conditions, and permit requirements. Contact us for a free estimate based on your project. Your proposal will state the total price and what is included.
Are estimates really free?+
Yes — estimates are free with no obligation. We respond to your request within 1 business day, discuss your goals, and arrange a site visit when needed. After confirming the scope and measurements, we agree on when you will receive your estimate.
Do you offer financing for home renovations?+
Please contact us to discuss the payment options available for your project.
What's included in your estimate?+
Your estimate defines the agreed scope, total price, what is included or excluded, and the proposed schedule. Any changes to the scope or price are discussed and approved in writing before additional work begins.
Process & Timeline
How long does a kitchen remodel take?+
Most full kitchen remodels in Northeast Wisconsin take 4 to 6 weeks from demolition to final walkthrough. Refresh projects (paint, counters, backsplash only) take 3 to 4 weeks. Custom luxury kitchens involving wall removal or structural changes can take 8 to 10 weeks. We provide a firm timeline before starting.
Can we live in the house during a renovation?+
Yes — most families stay in their home during renovations. We set up a temporary workspace (microwave, refrigerator, table), seal off the active work area with plastic sheeting and ZipWall barriers, work standard daytime hours, and clean up the job site daily so your home stays functional.
Do you handle permits and inspections?+
Absolutely. We pull all required permits with your local Wisconsin municipality — Green Bay, Appleton, Oshkosh, or wherever your home is located — coordinate inspections with city inspectors, and ensure full code compliance. You never have to deal with permit paperwork.
When is the best time of year for a remodel in Wisconsin?+
Interior remodels like kitchens and bathrooms can be done year-round in Wisconsin. Exterior projects (decks, additions, siding) are best between April and October when weather allows. Winter is actually a great time to book — schedules open up, and many homeowners get earlier start dates by reaching out in January or February.
How soon can you start my project?+
Most projects can start within 2 to 6 weeks of signing the contract, depending on our current schedule and material availability. Emergency repairs and smaller projects can often start sooner. We'll give you a firm start date in your estimate.
