"We had a great experience working with Top Bros construction and remodeling. They fully removed our tile and wood flooring and installed LVP that we had provided. They also installed new trim and baseboards throughout, which look great. They were timely and efficient. We are very happy with the outcome!"

"Kristi and her crew were a pleasure to work with. They were very creative in fitting a half bath into a small space in our old home — making it look great and as if it was always there. They were reliable and got the work done on schedule (and without extra charges). Plus they were considerate as they worked in our home."

"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."

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

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 Outdated electrical wiring and combined sewer overflow systems require mandatory upgrades to meet current codes.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?

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.

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?

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.
