"
They did an excellent job of everything. Owner/architect, Kristi Minser is very willing to work with clients' own ideas and she is flexible with changes and modifications. The crew has a lot of integrity when it comes to doing things right and providing the best aesthetic outcome. I am so pleased with the care the head carpenter put into this job, especially a wall of custom built-in bookshelves surrounding our bed. They are stunning!
While there were some delays in progress during this project, I would highly recommend Amethyst to anyone looking for a remodeling contractor.  Kristi only hires good people who care about what they do.  We also felt the services provided were very fairly priced."

"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."

"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 FAQs, answered by experts

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?

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?

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.
