Get matched with top remodelers to accommodate a disability in Milwaukee, WI

"When we built our home in 1991 we figured we?d remodel the master bath within 5 years.  We put in a cheaper double cabinet (oak, of course), 4x4 tile on the walls, Kohler?s smallest corner shower, ugly vinyl  flooring and, oh joy, Hollywood lights on both sides of the mirrors.  We actually remodeled in 2014. From 1994 to 2014 we planned. What I really mean is that we argued.  Hubby wanted cutting edge. I wanted traditional.  He wanted a bigger shower.  I wanted a bigger bathtub.  And then the whole messy pot of ideas got pushed to the back burner.

Enter Kristi. She had already done a large shed for us with an attached porch so we knew we liked her attention to detail and respect for the style of the house. (In fact, our home was on a tour and people kept asking if the shed was the ?servant?s quarters.?).

First she sat on the potty (the top was closed!) and listened to us talk with one ear while her other was listening to the ideas already spinning in her head.  ?Yeah, well that wall?s gotta go.?  Converted a big area under the stairs into a small useable area and bought us a feeling of spaciousness. Cool.

She carved out a new shower area for the hubby and I found a "Victoria and Albert? tub that is bigger than the old one but takes up less room.  We decided on that 1930s black and white look with console sinks and old-fashion-y chrome hardware.  My fave part is the push button light switches with the mother of pearl buttons.

A woman is only as good as the men she hires and Kristi?s subs are top-notch.  The tile guy ? wow. Home Depot presented its usual nightmare, even accusing him of having picked up the order before and trying to get more for free!  He ended up pretty much pulling apart the tile sheets so he could create the greek key pattern. The floor heating is marvelous as well.

The plumber, Bob the P, was very good.  At one point he called me upstairs as he?d cut through a low voltage wire under the bathtub.  Turns out it was for the doorbell ? a very odd place to find it!  You would?ve thought he cut the cord to granny?s respirator!

Needless to say, it was fixed without comment or delay. Almost a year later we noticed a small leak under one of the sinks.  He stopped over within a day or two and it turned out to be a manufacturing defect. We had to force him to write out an invoice.

We?ve worked with some contractors who are very protective of their subs ? mostly so they can pick up a percentage of their work.  Kristi will give you their phone numbers and tell you to tell them she said to call.  Her philosophy is apparently if you?ve got a little job that she wasn?t involved in, why not let her customers get the best.

I'd write more but a nice bubble bath seems more in order..."

"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."

"My bathroom looks gorgeous! Better than most hotel/motels. I HIGHLY recommended Duane and Adam they did a great job , worked very hard and are very nice men. This was not an easy remodel. They had to jack hammer my floor to move some plumbing because I don't have a basement. They dry walled, did electric work, laid my laminate flooring and put in a fantastic walk in shower. It is beautiful! They did extra little things for me that I didn't even ask them to do and if I wanted an adjustment on anything they did it with no problem. They went out of there way many times to do things for me that were not even included in the job. I have done alot of remodeling on my house in the last 3 years and not all jobs went as well as this one. I am so glad that I found them on Angie's list. Give them your work you won't be disappointed. They are a family owned business so you work just with them. No middle man, I like that very much. AND their prices were better than any other plumbers I had talked to. Some plumbers even told me it was impossible job it was so complicated. Duane said right away no problem we can do this. Thank You Guys!!"

"When I bought my place, I took one look at the mold-covered deck and assumed I needed to tear it out.  Dave Watry from Watry Homes came out to give me a price.  To my surprise, he told me I didn't need to replace it - the wood was still good.  I needed to get it cleaned, kill the mold and stain it.  He was right!  I have a beautiful deck for a fraction of what it would have cost to replace it.  I appreciate the honesty and integrity of Watry Homes."

"I was provided excellent service in my tree removal. I would truly recommend this company to family and friends"

"Tim and his crew did a FANTASTIC job on my basement ceiling!! In less than 8 hours they completely removed the horrible existing ceiling material, built pop outs around ductwork and pipes, and re-installed can lights. They repositioned my can lights (which I didn't even think to ask them to do but am SO glad they did!) Their attention to detail was exceptional and the ceiling looks flawless and my basement is much improved!! I'd recommend them again in a heartbeat. Their price was fair and reasonable."
