"When we built our home in 1991 we figured we?d remodel the master bath within 5 years.  We put in a cheaper double cabinet (oak, of course), 4x4 tile on the walls, Kohler?s smallest corner shower, ugly vinyl  flooring and, oh joy, Hollywood lights on both sides of the mirrors.  We actually remodeled in 2014. From 1994 to 2014 we planned. What I really mean is that we argued.  Hubby wanted cutting edge. I wanted traditional.  He wanted a bigger shower.  I wanted a bigger bathtub.  And then the whole messy pot of ideas got pushed to the back burner.

Enter Kristi. She had already done a large shed for us with an attached porch so we knew we liked her attention to detail and respect for the style of the house. (In fact, our home was on a tour and people kept asking if the shed was the ?servant?s quarters.?).

First she sat on the potty (the top was closed!) and listened to us talk with one ear while her other was listening to the ideas already spinning in her head.  ?Yeah, well that wall?s gotta go.?  Converted a big area under the stairs into a small useable area and bought us a feeling of spaciousness. Cool.

She carved out a new shower area for the hubby and I found a "Victoria and Albert? tub that is bigger than the old one but takes up less room.  We decided on that 1930s black and white look with console sinks and old-fashion-y chrome hardware.  My fave part is the push button light switches with the mother of pearl buttons.

A woman is only as good as the men she hires and Kristi?s subs are top-notch.  The tile guy ? wow. Home Depot presented its usual nightmare, even accusing him of having picked up the order before and trying to get more for free!  He ended up pretty much pulling apart the tile sheets so he could create the greek key pattern. The floor heating is marvelous as well.

The plumber, Bob the P, was very good.  At one point he called me upstairs as he?d cut through a low voltage wire under the bathtub.  Turns out it was for the doorbell ? a very odd place to find it!  You would?ve thought he cut the cord to granny?s respirator!

Needless to say, it was fixed without comment or delay. Almost a year later we noticed a small leak under one of the sinks.  He stopped over within a day or two and it turned out to be a manufacturing defect. We had to force him to write out an invoice.

We?ve worked with some contractors who are very protective of their subs ? mostly so they can pick up a percentage of their work.  Kristi will give you their phone numbers and tell you to tell them she said to call.  Her philosophy is apparently if you?ve got a little job that she wasn?t involved in, why not let her customers get the best.

I'd write more but a nice bubble bath seems more in order..."

"Evolution design worked with me on designing and addition for a 100 and 5 year old house. We worked on the dimensions of the addition Plus the materials. Evolution understood the local zoning which was amazing that they knew that. We have not started construction. And evolution can help pull the permits and I'm considering them for that as well. All in all it was a long project but it was done efficiently, working with several of the staff an the departments."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

Your Milwaukee home is a strong candidate for structural engineering if it was built before 1960, has visible foundation cracks, uneven floors, or persistent moisture in the basement. Homes with sagging rooflines or outdated framing often benefit from a structural assessment. If you’re planning an addition or removing walls, ensure your lot size and zoning allow for expansion and consult a local engineer for a feasibility review.

Helpful?

In Milwaukee, homeowners often skip a detailed soil analysis, begin work without proper permits, or underestimate the impact of winter weather on project timelines. Overlooking drainage improvements or failing to address existing foundation issues are also common missteps. Choosing a contractor unfamiliar with Milwaukee’s older housing stock can lead to costly errors, so always verify local experience and request references specific to similar projects.

Helpful?

In Milwaukee, unexpected costs during structural engineering projects often arise from additional permitting requirements, soil testing for clay or high water tables, and mandatory inspections. Discovering issues like deteriorated masonry, old knob-and-tube wiring, or asbestos insulation in older homes can also lead to extra work. Winter construction may require temporary heating or weatherproofing, so plan for contingencies when scheduling your project.

Helpful?

Completing structural engineering projects in Milwaukee can noticeably increase your home’s value and resale appeal, especially when you address foundation reinforcement, structural assessments, or open up load-bearing walls for modern layouts. Buyers in Milwaukee appreciate documented upgrades, particularly those that improve energy efficiency or protect against winter weather. Providing before-and-after engineering reports can also give your home a competitive edge in the local market.

Helpful?

Milwaukee’s freeze-thaw cycles, heavy snow, and humid summers directly impact structural engineering projects. Deep foundations and robust waterproofing are essential to prevent frost heave and moisture intrusion. Scheduling construction between late spring and early fall helps avoid weather delays and ensures proper curing of concrete. Structural engineers in Milwaukee often recommend reinforced framing to handle snow loads and protect against shifting soils.
