Get matched with top major home repair pros (general contractors) in Milwaukee, WI

"My wife and I bought a summer cottage in Fontana, WI that we wanted to turn into a year-round home in December 2021. This was our first significant remodel of any home we’ve ever owned. At that time, many contractors were very busy and/or very expensive. We discussed our project with at least a dozen potential contractors. We chose MH Renovations, and we are thrilled with that decision. Project. We completely remodeled the existing kitchen and 2 full bathrooms. We replaced all flooring and repainted the entire inside. We replaced and added wood trim in various rooms. We replaced the boiler, added A/C, and replaced a large portion of the electrical system. Value. We felt the quality of workmanship was above average, and the cost was below average. Generally, we agree with the old axiom that you get what you pay for. So, we felt we got more than we paid for. For a couple who’s generally quite frugal, that’s saying a lot. Decisions. With any large project like this, there are a thousand decisions to be made. This contractor seemed to know exactly which decisions they should make and which to let the homeowner make. We were glad to be shielded from the smaller decisions and be asked on the bigger ones. Just right. Communications. Just perfect. Not too much, and we never felt in the dark on anything. Changes. With a large project, we expected we’d want to make some changes during the project. That was true, and the contractor was perfectly happy to accommodate those requests and give us options. Perfect. Schedule. At a time when most contractors were giving start dates of 6-8 months out and more, this contractor quoted us just 3 months to begin. That was about the earliest of any quote. We were thrilled when they even were able to start a month earlier. And after they began, they pressed to keep the project on time, working with various sub-contractors, while shielding us from any of that pain. So our project started early (Feb 2022), completed with the expected duration, and ended early (April 2022). Far exceeded our expectations. Unexpected issues. As with any large project, there will always be some unforeseen issues. For ours, it was the existing electrical system. The subcontracted electrician uncovered ungrounded outlets, missing switch and outlet boxes, wiring comprised of foot-long parts, and bare wires. All you can hope for is that those problems get identified and rectified correctly, and that it doesn’t cost an arm and a leg. Our contractor kept us informed and searched for related, hidden issues once problems became clear. Our contractor genuinely felt bad about this added cost, and very generously did some of the work without adding cost. This is going above and beyond for your customer. Our contractor handling these unexpected issue as well as we could have hoped for. Budget. If we hadn’t added any requests during the project and didn’t uncover the hidden/existing electrical issues, we would haven been right on budget. The unexpected electrical work added ~10% to the entire budget. That overrun was about what we expected when we budgeted for this project, so we felt we came out just fine on budget. Was it fun? Yes! We truly enjoyed our discussions/calls/texts/emails with our contractor. We genuinely liked our contractor, and that made the experience a lot less stressful and painful than it could have been otherwise. These are our people. And we liked their employees and their sub-contractors too. Everyone we encountered was just a pro. Would we hire this contractor again? Definitely. I’m sure we will, and we won’t bother calling anyone else."

"It was a smooth organized remodel . All workers were very professional and clean-up was immaculately done! Nick was a great contractor we would definitely hire again!!"

"I hired GR General Contracting to remodel my basement. Every aspect of the project was excellent. My remodeled basement is beautiful. I would definitely hire again. Gordon communicated regularly about the project schedule and kept me up to date every step of the way. The crew were outstanding and it was a pleasure to have them working in my my home. At the end of every day I received a walk through of the progress and an overview of the next days work. I am thoroughly impressed with my experience working with GR General Contracting."

"Me and my husband were looking for a reliable company in Milwaukee to finish our basement and we found Josh through a friend. He really listened to what we wanted for the space. The basement turned out great and feels like a whole new part of our home now. We are very happy with the results."

"We've needed a major staircase upgrade for years and got Caesar and his crew to do it. As we decided on this we mentioned our half bathroom on the main level. He gave us a very fair price on the labor for that, and in fact was able to get us a beautiful and custom made vanity and top. The workmanship is top notch and all the men in the crew are very personable. Caesar not only listens, but he readily ask you questions as to your input on how things be done to your liking. The stairs and powder room turned out beautiful. We've already told Caesar that his services for another project will be needed in the fall."

"I was very pleased with the work that was done. They were professional and cleaned up everything at the end of their day. Plan on having them back to do other projects. I would recommend them for any project you might have."

"The design was sophisticated, creative, AND within my budget. During the design process different options were considered and refined and resulted in a efficient construction phase with zero delays. Throughout construction I always felt as if Kristi (the Architect) always had my best interest in mind. There were frequent visits and reviews of the quality and completeness of the work and any questions I had were answered quickly. The entire process - from design to completion of construction - was absent any of the drama I have experienced from other construction companies! I give Amethyst Contracting my highest praise and recommend them without hesitation."

"Roberta and Ricardo, were willing to take on a task that was not to familiar to them. They provided reasonable quote, and arrived prompted and ready to execute. The reviews for the greenhouse stated that it would take multiple days, but they got it together in one to meet a deadline for my event. Their demeanor was professional but friendly, they were open to questions and provided their thoughts for long term issues. I will continue to work with them for all my home project needs, as well as refer others to them for services."

"I’ve used Core Vision for two projects (exterior shutter removal, front-door handle repair) and both had fantastic outcomes. He’s responsive, reliable, and transparent. Will hire again!"

"We had a very positive experience working with the team at Redefined Remodel + Construction LLC. When we first contacted Mr. Meldman about our sad-looking basement, he replied quickly and came to the house for a walk-through and discussion about project ideas. Within a week he presented a precise and detailed contract that met our needs. And throughout the project, Mr. Meldman promptly responded to all our communications and did more than just answer our questions; he explained those answers. We felt confident with the skilled workers who entered our home and were always treated courteously and with respect. The results of our project are exactly as discussed and look great! We would definitely contact Redefined Remodel + Construction LLC again for future projects, and recommend their services."
