Wauwatosa homes we remodel: kitchens in older houses

Wauwatosa's older neighborhoods have many homes where the kitchen was designed as a work room, closed off from the dining room and short on counters and outlets. Postwar homes farther west often have more space but dated cabinets and layouts.

Homeowners here often want to open the kitchen up, add storage and bring the lighting and wiring up to date while keeping the character of the house. Our kitchen remodeling page explains our approach in more depth.

Kitchen remodels we do in Wauwatosa

Pick the parts you need. One written scope ties them together, so each trade knows what comes next.

  • Layout redesign

    A better path between sink, stove and fridge, planned around how your household cooks.

  • Opening to the dining room

    Taking down or widening a wall, with a properly sized beam if the wall carries load.

  • Islands and peninsulas

    Extra prep space and seating where the room is wide enough for comfortable walkways.

  • Cabinet installation

    Base and wall cabinets hung straight and tight, with pull-outs and drawers where you reach most.

  • Backsplash installation

    Tile run neatly to the cabinets, window trim and outlets.

  • Kitchen lighting

    Recessed, pendant and under-cabinet lights on circuits sized for a modern kitchen.

  • Appliance planning

    Cabinet openings, power, water and hood venting matched to the appliances you choose.

  • Kitchen floor replacement

    New flooring that meets the hall and dining room with clean transitions.

Materials and finishes for Wauwatosa kitchens

A kitchen in an older Tosa home can go classic or modern. These are finishes we often talk through with homeowners.

  • Stained wood cabinets

    Warm wood tones that suit many older homes, like the dark wood kitchen in our photos.

  • Painted shaker doors

    A simple, clean door style that works in traditional and newer houses alike.

  • Granite counters

    Each slab has its own pattern and stands up well to heat and daily wear.

  • Quartz counters

    Consistent color and no sealing, a low-upkeep choice for busy families.

  • Mosaic backsplash

    Small tiles that add texture behind the range, as in our project kitchen.

  • Under-cabinet lighting

    Light aimed right at the counter, where you chop and prep.

What drives the cost of a kitchen remodel in Wauwatosa

Tosa kitchen budgets rise and fall with a few choices: opening walls, moving the sink or range, the cabinet line and the countertop. Older homes may also need electrical work before new appliances go in.

  • Wall removal A bearing wall needs a beam, a permit and an inspection. A partition wall is much simpler.

  • Moving the sink or range New drain, supply and electrical runs add hours and sometimes floor work.

  • Cabinet line and count How many cabinets you need and the line you choose shape a large share of the budget.

  • Counter material and shape Islands, extra cutouts and premium slabs add fabrication and install time.

Permits for kitchen remodeling in Wauwatosa

We hold a Wisconsin license and handle the permit side of every Tosa kitchen, from the application to the final inspection.

Kitchen permits for Tosa homes are issued by the City of Wauwatosa. New circuits, moved plumbing and wall changes generally need one, and an inspector looks at the rough work before drywall goes back up.

Like-for-like cabinet and counter swaps usually do not. We file the permits the job requires and schedule the inspections, so you do not have to deal with City Hall yourself.

Usually needs a permit

  • New kitchen circuits
  • Relocated sink or dishwasher plumbing
  • Removing a wall

Kitchen remodeling FAQ for Wauwatosa

Want to talk about your Tosa kitchen? We pick up Monday to Saturday from 7AM to 6PM.

Can you open a wall in my Wauwatosa kitchen?

Often, yes. Taking out a bearing wall means installing a beam, with a permit from the City of Wauwatosa. We check the wall and what runs through it during the walkthrough.

Do older Tosa homes need electrical work for a new kitchen?

Many do. Kitchens wired long ago rarely have the circuits that new appliances need. We check your panel and include any required work in the quote.

Who issues kitchen permits in Wauwatosa?

The City of Wauwatosa. We take care of the applications and line up each inspection for you.

Can I keep my current layout and just update the finishes?

Yes. Keeping the sink, range and fridge where they are is often the simplest kitchen project, and it usually avoids plumbing and wall permits.

Who will be working in my house?

Lucas and Luke, both on the Generations payroll rather than subcontracted, and Alexis sends you updates as the kitchen comes together.

What does a kitchen remodel in Wauwatosa start at?

Our kitchen remodels start at $30,000; above that we can work with most budgets. Opening walls, the cabinet line and the countertop decide where your Tosa kitchen lands.

Do you collect a deposit at the first visit?

No. The visit is free. A deposit comes only after the scope, price and warranty reach you in writing and you agree to them.
