"After looking for 1 year for a contractor, we looked at Angi. We were connected with Antonio of A&M General Construction, and we walked around the house explaining what we wanted. As we explained our plans, he asked questions but never said we won't be able to do that or change our minds to do something we didn't want. We had them remove four windows and replace 3 of them them were able to get exactly the windows we wanted. Took out two walls and opened up the room. Opened a walkway into the bathroom. Moved an intake vent. Painted, layed tile, converted bathtub into shower. We were very happy with the results. My wife loves her new master bedroom."

"I thought I needed foundation work after I had a company install two new sump pumps as a precautionary measure, during an extremely wet time in Green Bay. The guy installed them improperly and I had water seeping in the bottom of my foundation that same night (btw it took him over five hours to install causing me great concern). He said it was a foundation issue although I’ve always had a dry basement. After tearing out wet carpeting and the walls (I’m 67)... Basten came out. In literally five minutes, Matt said the sumps were installed too high and flooded the drain tiles. In minutes he had his crew here and they installed the correct size sumps!!! No extra charge for an emergency, nor did they try to up-sale me, which as an older, single woman, easily could have happened!!! What honesty and professionalism!!!! Only took Noah and Hayden 45 minutes to install and not a drop of water since. Thank you!! Highly recommend!!!!"

Home Building questions, answered by experts

During home building, you must decide whether to simply meet or exceed WI state code minimums for insulation and window sizing. You also need to choose between a passive or active radon mitigation system during the framing stage. Additionally, you must finalize mechanical system zoning early. If you live in a newer subdivision, expect to navigate separate neighborhood architectural reviews alongside standard city permit requirements.

Helpful?

When planning home building, account for the region's heavy clay soils and a 48-inch frost depth, which directly dictate your foundation design. Appleton spans three counties, so zoning rules vary by exact location. Properties near the Fox River face additional wetland restrictions and high water tables requiring engineered drainage. Finally, factor in significant wind exposure and heavy snow loads when selecting your roofing materials and attic ventilation.

Helpful?

A frequent home building mistake is starting concrete foundation work too late in the fall. The ground in Appleton freezes by late November, causing concrete poured in cold temperatures to fail. Another major error is ignoring negative grading around the foundation, which leads to basement water intrusion. Finally, homeowners often skip necessary permits for basement finishes or incorrectly address ice dams with cosmetic fixes instead of proper attic insulation.

Helpful?

Functional home building projects, like structural or electrical modifications, require permits and mandatory inspections before you cover the work. Cosmetic updates, such as interior painting, proceed year-round without weather dependency. However, functional exterior repairs in WI are highly season-dependent and must occur between May and October. Deferring functional repairs causes rapid damage escalation during freeze-thaw cycles, turning minor cracks into severe structural issues within a single winter.

Helpful?

Build your home building inspection routine around the seasons. In spring, inspect your foundation for new cracks caused by frost heave and test your sump pump. Summer is the primary window to complete exterior roofing or masonry projects. By fall, you must finalize all exterior concrete work before Appleton experiences its first hard freeze. During winter, check your attic for condensation and start planning your upcoming spring projects.
