"We recently had a deck built around our pool by Loft Remodeling and Architectural Salvage, and we couldn't be happier with the results. Mike was incredibly skilled and brought a high level of professionalism to the job. The work was completed in a timely manner, and it’s clear that he takes pride in the quality of his craftsmanship. He was also very knowledgeable and guided us through the entire process with confidence and clarity. Highly recommended for anyone looking for top-notch work and a smooth experience! Five stars only because I can’t give any more than five!!!"

"Mad City did a very good job on the shower and needed a plumber who came right away as everyone they need works for them meaning you get serviced much faster. Everything is guaranteed so you have nothing to fear. The people were very pleasant and a supervisor checked in at the end. We were very impressed with the job! Thank you!"

Customers say: Quality work

"We worked with this team for our kitchen and bath remodel, and the entire experience exceeded our expectations. Their professionalism and attention to detail were outstanding from start to end. The tile work in both the kitchen and the bathroom floors was absolutely beautiful. The grout lines are clean and even, and the finish looks high-end. Their quality of service was top-notch. The crew showed up on time every day, kept the work area clean, and communicated clearly throughout the process. They explained each step, provided helpful recommendations, and made sure we were comfortable with every decision before moving forward. The work process was smooth and well organized. There were no surprises, delays, or hidden issues."

Customers say: Super punctual

"The very best thing about Big Dave's is that he shows up when he says he will, he does the job we agreed on, and he cleans up after himself. Very different from any other GC I've dealt with in nearly forty years. Superior work at all times; fixes issues when required without question or demur. I'll have no other GC darken my doors ever again."

FAQs for kitchen remodel projects in Waukesha, WI

Your galley kitchen needs adequate clearance around any island installation to maintain functionality. Most galley kitchens lack sufficient width for traditional islands, as these layouts prioritize efficiency in smaller spaces. 

If your kitchen has an unusual width, consult with a kitchen designer who can evaluate your specific dimensions and recommend appropriate solutions. For narrower spaces, consider alternatives like rolling carts or narrow work tables that provide additional surface area without permanently restricting movement.

Kitchen remodels require six to 10 weeks for completion, though timelines vary based on project scope and material availability. Simple updates like cabinet refinishing and countertop replacement might finish within a few weeks, while comprehensive renovations involving structural changes often extend beyond two months. 

Planning stages add approximately four weeks before construction begins. Maintaining clear communication with your contractor and ordering materials early helps prevent unnecessary delays.

Common errors include insufficient clearance between opposing countertops, inadequate lighting that creates shadowy work areas, and poor storage planning that leaves countertops cluttered. Some homeowners select oversized appliances that overwhelm the space or invest in expensive features that don't address fundamental workflow issues. 

Careful planning, accurate measurements, and consultation with experienced professionals help avoid these pitfalls and ensure your renovation successfully addresses your kitchen's specific challenges.

Whether expansion makes sense depends on your home's layout, your budget, and your long-term plans. Combining a galley kitchen with neighboring spaces creates more open, flexible layouts that many buyers prefer. However, removing walls involves substantial costs, particularly if they contain plumbing, electrical systems, or structural elements. 

Sometimes, optimizing your existing galley layout through better storage solutions and lighting proves more cost-effective than expansion. Consult with a contractor to evaluate specific costs for your situation.

Effective galley kitchen lighting combines multiple sources to eliminate shadows and create visual spaciousness. Overhead fixtures provide general illumination, while under-cabinet lighting illuminates work surfaces directly. Consider recessed ceiling fixtures that don't protrude into limited headspace. 

Lighting with dimming capabilities allows adjustment for different activities. Reflective surfaces like glass tile backsplashes or glossy cabinet finishes help bounce light throughout the space, reducing the corridor effect common in galley layouts.
