A Home is so much more than a house. A place to plan that special trip, a place welcoming you back. A noisy place filled with the joy of friends and family, a quiet place for relaxation and solitude. A haven from the world, a reflection of your style. We Build Homes!

"Gerry, owner of WIllow Bay Builders is top notch. He provided a detailed quote with a time schedule during the early phase of the project that outshined all competitors when bidding for our project. His team of contractors and suppliers were exceptional. All work was completed on time with adherence to detail. My wife and I couldn't be happier with the end result (a major basement renovation). I would recommend Gerry to anyone looking for quality, time management to expectations and competitive costs. Truly a pleasure to work with."

For over two decades, Willow Bay Builders has been building new homes and remodeling in the Fox Cities area. We're not getting older, ...we're getting better! Put our knowledge and experience to work today and see whet dedicated professionals can bring to your project.

"Gerry is an exceptional contractor and exceptional human being. As newer homeowners and inexperienced handy persons, Gerry went out of his way to explain processes and provide thoughtful insight into the work being completed. He has a great relationship with his subcontractors and that was prominent when issues arose as they were quickly fixed. We provided Gerry with a professional drawing of the basement and he provided his thoughts and made quality improvements without changing the overall layout. Our basement was built during the COVID pandemic and Gerry stored masks and disinfectant directly outside our front door so all parties involved felt comfortable and safe. During the initial quote was honest about the supply chain disruption and the potential for delay in supplies. Overall, it was fantastic to have an individual flexible and accommodating to the changing environment. The quality of finished basement exceeded our expectations by far. We were skeptical of hiring a general contractor at first, but have no questions since hiring Gerry. If we were to build a home or have another significant remodel, we would hire Gerry again in a heartbeat."

30+ years of Carpentry and Home Repair Experience, value quality work over quantity. Bathroom & Kitchen Remodeling, light electric, light plumbing, painting and drywall repair, or sometimes you need a guy with a trailer full of tools to repair/build a variety of things.

"Arrived on time, explained everything, cleaned up afterwards, and charged a fair price. Incredibly nice and polite! We will definitely use him again for our handyman and contracting needs."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Appleton, WI

While the terms remodeling, renovating, and finishing are often used interchangeably, there are some differences. Remodeling your basement transforms the space by changing its layout, adding new features, or altering its function. Renovating restores the existing space to like-new condition without major structural changes. Finishing converts an unfinished basement into a livable area with walls, ceilings, and flooring.

A full basement remodel typically takes two to six weeks, depending on the project's complexity and any unforeseen challenges. Factors like design changes, permitting, and material availability can affect the timeline, as well as the availability of the contractors you’re working with. Remember that the bigger the project, the longer it will take to complete.

Remodeling your basement is not just about gaining extra space—it's a savvy investment. You can expect around a 70% return on investment (ROI), comparable to other major home improvements like kitchen or bathroom remodels. Adding functional living space boosts your home's value and appeals to potential buyers. Plus, converting your basement into a rental apartment could provide additional income, increasing your return even more.
