Thought they would provide more guidance/help in the design details. Very organized in completing work but tended to leave us out. Workmanship was good but very letter of the law/contract. Very professional in day to day work site housekeeping. If you work with Jim, take a lot of time to decide what you really want. The devil is in the details. Your actual project work will only get a fraction of his time so get details up front. Sub-contractors perform actual work so their work targets are filtered through his interpretation of his discussions with you. Again, as difficult as it is, get down the details up front. Do not just accept "that gets decided later" because your later options will be very limited, costly and under a time crunch.

The owner came to our house, and we later received an email from our friend with a few quotes. One of them from Roethel Electric, which was quite vage, but the best quote for the jobs to be done. The email read, that the whole wiring of the house with standard outlets and lightswitches would be around $9500.00, if we wanted more modern outlets, switches and fixtures, it could go up to $11000.00. One of the first jobs in need to be done, was switching over our electric from commercial to residential, with 2 new meters installed, 2 new fuse boxes and the wiring for the fuse boxes. The sons of the owner performed most of the work. I had asked the owner numerous times for an interim invoice, so that we would not get a bad surprise. After the switch of the electric was done, the suprise came. Even though we only received the 2 new meters, which were hooked up by the electric company, and 2 new fuse boxes, which were installed and the wire for them pued by the electrician, none of the wiring for the downstairs was done, but we received an invoice for $7800.00. Since we did not have a written estimate from Roethel Electric themselves, and the email was just a "piece of paper" our friend sent us, we were s.o.l. Never again, is all I have to say.

He is a very neat worker, just looking in his van shows how everything has it's place and everynight everything was put back where it belonged. There was no waste in the entire project. Paul was so exact with all his measuring, there was no waste of even a 2x4!!! It was very important to me that we try to make the moldings match the existing moldings as close as possible. Paul custom routed all the wood to make the addition flow with the existing house. I would be happy to show off his work if anyone is interested!

They also maintain our property and so they do the grounds keeping, including plowing. If they ruin any plans they will replace them. They make everything right. I would definitely recommend Milieu. You just have to understand that he isn't always the most organized, but when he is on top of the job he gets it done right.

Wow! This store has really great product selection! They are very particular about the quality of the brands they carry' we purchased Lauzon engineered hardwood flooring, Caesar italian tile and Cerim italian tile. They have access to what seems like any brand of tile you could find. Anne is their in-house interior designer who has incredible taste and design skill. She's a great listener and a delight to work with. We trust her completely and have relied on her to steer us in the direction she felt was right. She visited the home we are remodeling to get a better idea of our space. She is super sharp and places customer service above all else. Great communication. The company has something like 12 highly skilled installers. 3 or 4 of them have worked on our floors and their work has been flawless. We are so happy with our selections and the installation service provided by Etched in Stone. Their prices are very reasonable and competitive. Both for materials and labor. The entire staff works very hard to find you just the right tile--they spent many hours with us. Since our taste is modern/contemporary there have been many companies we worked with during our remodel that just didn't quite 'get it'. Etched in Stone was all over it! They were constantly finding new catalogs and product lines for us, and always offered to obtain samples. If they did order samples, there arrived in just a few days. Impressive to say the least."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/wi/manitowoc/etched-in-stone-reviews-2051423.htm"},"position":10}]}

"In todays fast paced world, it is hard to find people we can trust and to wonder when we purchase something ,whether or not we are going to get a quality product for what we are paying for. I had been looking around to purchase some new windows for several years, but when I always heard quotes on the cost I was unwilling to take the leap. One day, upon hearing a quote of what the windows I wanted replaced would cost me from their sales rep., I took that leap. It was a no brainer. With such a great price, now I wondered if i was going to get quality for what I was paying. I have to tell you I was delighted to see the final results of my beautiful new windows. Not only were all the people I spoke with in this company kind and respectful, but they also helped me set up financing as well. Great Company, Really Good People, Quality Product and Service!"

FAQs for residential design projects in Manitowoc, WI
One starting point to find a local home builder is to collect suggestions from friends and neighbors. However, it’s still wise to do some more research before you hire a builder. Read reviews to supplement any word-of-mouth recommendations. Check sources like Angi that have standards and criteria in place to screen the pros it lists can also help you find more reputable local home builders.
The cost of home remodeling is $50,000 for the average homeowner. However, this cost can range anywhere from $3,000 for a small projectto $170,000 for a whole home remodel. Factors like project size, location, and room type all affect your overall cost. For example, bedroom remodeling costs are one of the least expensive projects, costing about $1,500 to $5,500 per bedroom. However, a kitchen remodel has a significant cost range, totaling anywhere from $14,500 to over $70,000.
Typically, it’s more affordable to buy an existing home than it is to build a new one. New construction loan interest rates tend to be higher than interest rates for traditional mortgages. Additionally, the cost of materials is likely higher when building a new home than it was when an existing home was built (unless it’s a very new one). You’re also paying for all new appliances, finishes, permits, inspections, and connections for water, gas, and electricity.
Yes, most states require home remodeling contractors to be licensed, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed home remodeling contractor could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations.
As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:
The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi
Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
The best time of year to remodel your home is late winter and early spring when fewer homeowners are thinking about projects and pros are more available. Also consider the type of remodel you want and plan ahead as much as possible. For example, the summer is a great time of year to update your fireplace, but winter is a better option for fixing foundations and building room additions.
