Jim Wirtz’s Woodworks Milwaukee, WI Kitchen $40,000-$80,000 An outdated and poorly designed kitchen was adjacent to an unheated and seldom used enclosed porch. Walls were removed to combine the spaces and the porch area was rebuilt to become part of the kitchen. Custom cabinetry was stained to match existing woodwork. Transom windows and architectural features helped convert the porch into a dinette. The new kitchen is well lit with LED under-counter lighting, hood lighting, vintage scones, and ceiling lights.

S.J. Janis Company: Master Suite and Family Room Addition Having outgrown this 1930’s Cream City brick Colonial, the homeowners decided on a two-story master suite and family room addition to meet their expanding needs, remain near good neighbors, and stay in the same school system. The new addition enhanced the family’s lifestyle with an efficient mudroom entry and covered porch, an enlarged family room off the kitchen with natural light and entertainment opportunities, and a second-story master suite. This phase of the renovation also included a new front entry with a stamped walkway, second story bathroom remodel, additional storage, and refinished hardwood flooring.

Story Hill Renovations: Basement Remodel The homeowners desired a space to use for not only their immediate family, but also provide an opportunity to host large gatherings. Creative design was used to develop a functional, yet beautiful basement, while maintaining the home’s classic charm. A main floor powder room and stairway to the basement were relocated, with challenging space requirements conquered during the renovation. A full kitchen features Cambria countertops, maple cabinetry, and a custom pub-style banquette, while a full bathroom complements the space well. The renovation also includes a zoned radiant heat system, decorative lighting in the kitchen area, colorful Marmoleum flooring, and French doors that separate the children’s playroom from the rest of the space.

Expanding outdoor living space has caught on around town. This Waukee homeowner contacted Kaufman Construction to do just that. An expansive porch provides outdoor living in many forms. This one porch incorporates a comfortable seating area, a built-in dining table, as well as a custom bar with a grill and refrigerator, all situated around a large wood-burning fireplace and television. All of these features make the space perfect to host a dinner party, watch a ballgame or movie, or sit and converse with family and friends. Rich stone, granite, natural woods and capped composite decking make the porch a cozy and inviting place to gather. Task and accent lighting were carefully laid out to provide lighting where needed and ambiance that draws you in and provides comfort as you enjoy the great outdoors.

This whole floor transformation has been remodeled to showcase a modern "retro" style! Throughout the main level all flooring has been updated from red oak to 5" dark stained maple hardwood, and all cabinetry/woodwork is natural maple creating a beatuful contrast. Modern Touches is known for creating functional space, therefore, a wall was removed to open this floor plan! A splash of teal color was applied to walls, furniture, and incorporated into the backsplash thoughout iridescent and non-iridescent tiles, which change color at different times of the day. Chrome and brushed nickel plumbing fixtures were installed thoughout the remodel to compliment the stainless steel appliances. The quartz countertops are black with mini white/orange swirls that sparkle illuminating each room. A modern fireplace was installed with a brushed nickel convex frame creating a 3-D focal point in the living room. This West Des Moines home has many intriguing focal points throughout each remodeled living space creating a unique touch of perfection for our customer's dream home!

Brillo Home Improvements Milwaukee, WI Kitchen $40,000-$80,000 The clients wanted an updated space with a more inviting and user-friendly kitchen. Opening the wall between the kitchen and dining room allowed the entire kitchen to be extended. The sink was shifted, so they could see their son playing in the living room while doing dishes. For atmosphere, warm colors were selected for the cabinets, flooring, and backsplash contrasted by granite countertops.
