We are your premier remodeling and real estate company. We are proudly based in Milwaukee, WI and are inspired by the history, past and future of our city. Call us today for any and all of your remodeling needs.

"I met Mike through a professional association where we both serve on the board of directors. I had been thinking of doing some remodeling and had him check out my bathroom and kitchen. He was very responsive to what I was looking for and drew up some great plans for both rooms. I hadn't planned on doing both rooms in the same year but based on his estimates and timelines, I decided to go for it. As of this review, the bathroom is finished and I am super happy with the results. The week timeline was pushed out a bit due to some unforseen issues but they worked to get me a working bathroom as quickly as possible and we had to do some of the finishing work in pieces afterwards. Mike and Alan are great to work with and all of their subcontractors were very professional and did excellent work. Price was the most reasonable of all the estimates I'd gotten and Mike really understood what I was going for in terms of quality, design and future use and offered practical suggestions and worked with some of the unique issues of an older home. The end result is light years ahead of what it was and not only looks amazing but is so much more functional as well. Originally there was a tub with a shower curtain and the tub area isn't a standard size. The flooring hadn't been sealed and was peeling up around the tub. The surround was plastic and cracked, and the vanity was outdated and broken. We switched it out to be a walk in shower with no tub. The shower panel and bumper had to be custom built and tiled since the area wasn't a standard six-foot length. The shower walls and bumper are white subway tiles and the shower pan is penny tiles in a marbilized pattern. The vanity was moved over to make room for a linen cabinet which means the medicine cabinet and vanity light fixture needed to be moved over. The ceiling was dropped 6 inches in order to put in a fan/light, which was vented outside. The shelving over the toilet was replaced with a cabinet for extra storage. Flooring is marbilized vinyl tile which matches the shower pan. Subflooring was repaired around the toilet, shower mixer was installed, shower drywall was replaced with water-resistant panels and a moisture barrier, new floor trim was added and the entire room sanded and repainted. The vanity light switch was moved to accomodate the linen cabinet and a new switch was added to control the fan."

We are Smith Brothers Renovations LLC (Formerly Hilbert Company), We are a small family business (my brother and I) specializing in Kitchen / Bath remodeling and home additions. Our showroom and Custom cabinet shop are located in Slinger. We do everything from supplying high quality custom cabinets to complete turn key remodeling including design. We have been contractors in the remodeling business for over 30 years. Our work is excellent, and if you hire us, you can know that one or both of us will be the one actually providing the craftsmanship for your project. We aim to provide very high quality workmanship at a very competitive price. We do not have a sales staff, office managers, or an advertising budget.

"Loved working with Hilbert Co. They provided excellent work at a fair price. Communication was outstanding and our remodeled bathroom turned out spectacular! Thanks so much Corey & Mitch for all the care you took on our project. You didn’t miss a detail. Well, maybe one, but it was corrected without issue. I will hire them again and my family & friends have already asked “who did your remodel?” Wished every company was like this one!"

My name is Bill. I'm a 3rd generation contractor and have been doing this for over 30 years. Since I opened Emally's Construction, I have been driven by the knowledge and principles passed down to me by my father and grandfather. Even though the products and technology have changed over the years, the people haven't. Homeowners still want an honest company that does quality work for a reasonable price.This is what we pride ourselves on. If you call for an estimate I'm the person you'll talk to. You get me every time. I have a full crew of talented people that have been with me for years. What I don't have is a salesman. At no point do I want to sell you anything. It's my job to inform you and arm you with knowledge so that you can make the proper decision that's best for you. This is an old school idea that I believe is missing in today's construction world. This means no empty promises. We put a plan together and I make sure it happens the way it's supposed to.

"I was very much satisfied with the work they did. Great high-quality materials were used. They were highly detailed and very thorough. Made sure everything was planned. They kept me updated on every process. The contractor was very professional, he showed up on time, gave me a reasonable estimate, and explained to me the process. I can't thank them enough for the work process and great customer service."

CWE Renovations is ready to turn your project into a reality - no dream is out of reach! Our team of expert remodelers will give a thorough assessment & estimate for your project. Call today to get on our schedule!

"Our experience with CWE Renovations has been marked by a troubling lack of professionalism, accountability, and customer service. Despite having a comprehensive record of issues spanning nine pages, we will have to summarize the key points here to provide a clear picture of why we strongly advise against using this contractor. Project Timeline and Delays: We were initially given an estimated completion timeline of approximately 12 weeks for our basement renovation. Contrary to this, the project has now extended well beyond 18 weeks. We were assured on two separate occasions (6/27 and 7/11) that only two weeks of work remained. Unfortunately, scheduling has been disorganized, with no clear plan to ensure tasks are completed consecutively. For instance, the electrician's work remains pending with no definitive schedule, and the carpet installation, scheduled for August 19th, was delayed due to the contractor's failure to arrange for measurement until July 26th (despite us inquiring about this since 6/27). Communication and Accountability Issues: Our attempts to gather accurate information and resolve issues have gone ignored. We discovered discrepancies when we contacted Waste Management regarding the pickup of our bagsters, only to find no record of an order. Additionally, a metal rack has been left for 2.5 weeks in our driveway due to the contractor's failure to follow up with Home Depot immediately upon it being left behind by mistake. More concerning, we found that the electrician listed on our permit had no involvement with our project. Upon investigation, we learned that the permit was improperly filed under a business' name, and the electrician ,who worked for the business, was only working on our project as a side job, potentially jeopardizing their professional standing. Overall Experience: The most disappointing aspect has been the lack of communication and ownership. We are left with an incomplete basement and are now seeking a refund for the portions of the project that have not been completed as promised. Given these significant issues, we strongly recommend avoiding CWE Renovations for any renovation projects. Our experience underscores serious concerns regarding their reliability and commitment to customer satisfaction. Everything incomplete as 8/12 (18 weeks after the start date with a 12 week estimate): Electrician to finish outlets, lights, light switches, etc (no eta) â we paid for on 7/30 Carpet Installed (given a date of 8/19 which is completely unacceptable when we have been asking about this since 6/27) we paid for on 7/30 requesting this refunded since Carpet Installation Guy does not want to work with Dan and quoted us almost half to install Trim completed around stairs and in bathroom - Paid Metal Rack Removed from Doors (Offered to reach out myself since Dan doesn't seem to have any urgency in it) -Requesting Dan cover the cost to remove on 8/15 Garbage Removed (two bagsters) We paid for on 2/26 Door Installed over the breaker box Lien Waivers from Plumber, HVAC, Electrician Railing on the stairs (which we have made clear we do not want this in until carpet is installed so we can get our couch downstairs) Paid on 4/12 invoice"

Basement remodelings FAQs

While building a wine cellar requires a significant investment, it can increase your home's resale value over time. Although you might not see an immediate return, the long-term ROI benefits can be substantial. Because they're often built in areas that would otherwise be unused, wine caves can add to your home's resale value. Storing a bottle of wine in a controlled environment for five years can increase its value. Once you build the space, you can strategically buy an increasing number of vintages as an investment that pays off down the road.

A wine cellar doesn't need to be underground; you can build it in any suitable area of your home. An above-ground cellar offers easy access and integration with your living spaces, while an underground cellar provides stable climate conditions and energy efficiency. Proper insulation and climate control ensure your wine maintains optimal conditions in any location.

Yes, wine cellars need ventilation to ensure optimal air circulation and precise climate control. A proper system regulates temperature and humidity, preserving your wine collection's quality. Good ventilation prevents air stagnation and moisture buildup, keeping your wine in ideal conditions. Without adequate airflow, mold and mildew can develop, potentially damaging labels and corks. Ventilation systems also help eliminate hot spots that could prematurely age your wines.

Yes, any home can have a wine cellar installed if the space is properly prepared. A dedicated area with a solid foundation, proper insulation, and reliable climate control—whether in a basement, walk-in closet, or converted crawl space—can support a wine cellar. This flexibility allows you to enjoy optimal wine storage in any type of home.
