Brookfield homes we remodel: kitchens from another era

Most of Brookfield grew up after the city incorporated in the 1950s, so its streets are lined with ranches, split-levels and two-story colonials from the second half of the last century. Many still have the kitchen they were built with: a U-shaped room behind a wall, cabinets that stop short of the ceiling and one light over the sink.

Homeowners here usually want the kitchen to open toward the family room, hold more in the same footprint and take an island where the floor plan allows it. Brookfield shares a border with Wauwatosa, so our office is a short drive away, and this kitchen work sits within our wider remodeling in Brookfield.

Kitchen remodels we do in Brookfield

Most Brookfield kitchens we quote combine three or four of the jobs below. How each one is planned and built is covered on our main kitchen remodeling page.

  • Open layouts and islands

    Taking out the wall to the family room or dining area, then adding an island or peninsula sized to the new space.

  • Cabinets to the ceiling

    Base, wall and tall pantry cabinets set plumb and level, with full-height uppers that use the space older kitchens left empty.

  • Quartz and granite counters

    Tops measured once the cabinets are in, with cutouts for an undermount sink, a cooktop and any island seating overhang.

  • Backsplash tile

    Tile run from counter to cabinet, cut cleanly around outlets, switches, windows and the range hood.

  • Lighting and appliance circuits

    Recessed lights, under-cabinet strips, island pendants and the dedicated circuits that new appliances call for.

  • New kitchen flooring

    Tile, luxury vinyl plank or wood-look flooring, often carried into the room the kitchen now opens onto.

  • Appliance and sink moves

    Relocating the range, refrigerator, dishwasher or sink, with plumbing, venting and wiring rerouted behind the walls.

Not sure the wall can come out? Alexis and the crew look at the framing during the free walkthrough and explain what it would take.

Materials and finishes for a Brookfield kitchen

A kitchen that opens to the family room is on display all day, so finishes have to look right from the couch and still hold up to cooking. We lay out the trade-offs before you choose.

  • Quartz

    Even color from slab to slab; it resists stains and never needs sealing.

  • Granite

    Natural stone with movement in every slab; plan on resealing it now and then.

  • Painted or stained cabinets

    Shaker, slab or raised-panel doors on soft-close hinges and full-extension drawer slides.

  • Matched hardware and fixtures

    Faucet, pulls and light fittings chosen in one finish, so the kitchen and the room beside it read as one.

What drives the cost of a kitchen remodel in Brookfield

In Brookfield, the biggest swing in price usually comes from the layout. Keeping the sink, range and walls where they are costs far less than opening the kitchen to the family room, and your written quote shows that choice line by line.

  • Wall removal Taking out a wall that carries load means a beam, a permit and drywall patching on both sides.

  • Cabinet grade Stock, semi-custom and custom lines differ a lot in price, and cabinets tend to lead the budget.

  • Island size Seating overhangs, a prep sink or outlets in the island add counter and wiring work.

  • Panel and circuits An older panel may need an upgrade before an induction range or extra appliances go in.

Permits for kitchen remodeling in Brookfield

Generations is licensed in Wisconsin, and on a Brookfield kitchen we apply for the permits, book the inspections and are on site when the inspector arrives.

Inside city limits, kitchen permits and inspections go through the City of Brookfield building inspection office. Some homes with a Brookfield mailing address are in the Town of Brookfield instead, and Elm Grove next door issues its own village permits, so we confirm your municipality before anything is filed.

New circuits, a moved sink or gas line, and a removed wall generally need a permit, with rough-in inspections while the walls are still open. Cabinets and counters swapped where the old ones stood usually do not, and we tell you which applies at the walkthrough.

Usually needs a permit

  • Added or moved electrical circuits
  • Sink, dishwasher or gas line relocated
  • Taking out or widening a wall

Usually no permit

  • Cabinets replaced in the same layout
  • New countertops and backsplash
  • Paint and new cabinet hardware

Kitchen remodeling FAQ for Brookfield

Have a question about your Brookfield kitchen that is not covered here? Call us Monday to Saturday, 7AM to 6PM.

Is there a minimum budget for a Brookfield kitchen remodel?

Our kitchen remodels start at $30,000; above that we can work with most budgets. Seeing your kitchen and writing up the quote costs you nothing.

Can you open my kitchen to the family room?

In many Brookfield ranches and colonials, yes. When the wall carries load, a correctly sized beam goes in and a permit is required. Our crew checks the framing on the walkthrough visit, then we put the plan and price in writing.

Does a Brookfield kitchen remodel need a permit?

For new circuits, moved plumbing or gas, or wall changes, usually yes; for cabinets and counters replaced in place, usually not. We file whatever your job needs with the City of Brookfield, or with the town or village if your home is outside city limits.

When is the deposit due?

Only once you have approved the written scope, price and warranty. The walkthrough itself carries no charge and no deposit.

How long will we be without a kitchen?

That depends on the scope: a same-layout update moves faster than opening walls and moving plumbing. Your written schedule shows when the kitchen goes out of service and when counters and appliances come back, so you can set up a temporary space.

Who will be working in our house?

Our own installers, Lucas and Luke, who are Generations employees. Alexis checks in with updates as the work moves along and walks the finished kitchen with you.
