"
 She did a great job of incorporating what our kitchen cabinet supplier/designer suggested.   Many of the iterations were handled via e-mail that were both time and cost effective for both of us .  As I stated, after the positive kitchen experience we then hired her for a second floor dormer addition including a dormer with a full bathroom.Although we had a very small footprint for the bathroom, Kristi came up with a cleaver design to get a full bath that incorporated a large shower over the window - she gave us great  advice that a large ? killer? shower would be great for resale.  (so much better than the corner shower I envisioned).  Kiristi did great on meeting all our turn around requests which kept our project on schedule."

"Matrix completed my basement and we are very pleased with the outcome! The Matrix team were all very personable and professional. Suzanna was always positive and quick with a resolution to any questions or concerns. David and Ron provided professional insight and were on site weekly to manage the trades that were working daily. The supplies were delivered promptly and put in the garage and each trade cleaned up daily before leaving. Mike W. & Brian K. were a pleasure to work with, always early and their excellent workmanship clearly shows. I would highly recommend Matrix for your basement or garage project."

"Joe Timm did an extensive remodel of our 1965 ranch fixer-upper, that included kitchen, 2 baths, great room, 1 bedroom, and den. He was professional and thorough. His price quotes were on-target and reasonable. He was reliable: he called and visited when he said he would. We'll use him again for our unfinished basement. We highly recommend Joe and his work."

"Investment painting is absolutely amazing. There is not enough space here to say what an excellent job they did...We live in a 1869 Victorian home with extensive trim that was painted a horrible mustard yellow by previous owners. We asked them to paint all the walls in our 3000 square foot home and to paint all the mustard yellow trim white. Due to the trim which required 3 coats and the plaster work, what was suppose to be a 3 day job, turned into a 5 day job. However, they did not charge me for this additional time and stuck by their quote. They showed up every morning precisely at 7 am. Even on the day their van got a flat, someone was at our house at 7 am. They left all the paints, took them to the basement for us, and explained how to touch up the walls if we marred them by accident. They also moved all our furniture for us. They were cheerful, trustworthy, incredibly tidy, and did a phenomenal job. We could not be happier and I would recommend them to everyone. Amazing!"

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

Before starting basement remodeling, document all visible pipes and electrical conduits to prevent accidental damage during framing. You must also inspect your sump pit for debris and confirm the float switch moves freely to handle wet Milwaukee springs. Perform a basic plastic sheet moisture test on the floor to identify water issues. Never disturb suspected asbestos or lead paint; hire a certified specialist to test and remove these hazards safely.

Helpful?

Proper planning makes basement remodeling much smoother. Start by securing all necessary city permits early to prevent project delays. Schedule a radon test before designing your space, as the results dictate where you place HVAC intakes. You should also plan concrete and waterproofing work outside of the freezing Wisconsin winter months. Always hire licensed contractors to ensure your project passes all inspections and meets local building standards.

Helpful?

When starting basement remodeling, you must anticipate hidden issues in older Milwaukee homes. Outdated electrical wiring and combined sewer overflow systems require mandatory upgrades to meet current codes. You must also test for radon, as WI has elevated levels requiring mitigation. Finally, homes built before 1978 require professional asbestos and lead paint abatement. Address these hazards early to keep your project on track and ensure your home remains safe.

Helpful?

You should combine basement remodeling with essential infrastructure upgrades to maximize efficiency. Upgrade aging electrical panels and replace old sewer laterals while your walls and floors are already open. Installing egress windows alongside planned exterior drainage work also streamlines the process. However, avoid scheduling roof or siding replacements at the same time. Milwaukee contractors book up quickly during the summer, and stacking too many projects causes major scheduling delays.

Helpful?

Basement remodeling significantly impacts your existing home infrastructure. Adding conditioned space overloads older HVAC systems, especially during harsh WI winters. A licensed professional must perform a load calculation to ensure proper heating capacity. Adding new lighting and outlets also draws heavily from your main electrical panel, requiring a thorough capacity evaluation. Finally, framing new walls alters subsurface water flow, which requires careful planning to keep your sump pump functioning correctly.
