Milwaukee homes we remodel: older baths, newer needs

A large share of Milwaukee's housing was built before World War II: bungalows, Cape Cods and the upper-and-lower duplexes found across the older neighborhoods. Their bathrooms were usually small and planned around a tub, often with a single outlet and little or no exhaust fan.

A bathroom renovation in Milwaukee usually means a walk-in shower, real storage and a fan that keeps mold off the ceiling, without losing what makes the house worth keeping. Wauwatosa shares a long border with the city, so most Milwaukee addresses are a short drive for Alexis and the crew. Our main bathroom remodeling page covers the service across both counties.

Bathroom remodels we do in Milwaukee

Each Milwaukee bathroom gets a scope written for that room. These are the jobs we take on, alone or combined in one project.

  • Tub-to-shower conversions

    Swapping an old tub for a tiled walk-in shower, often the biggest upgrade in a narrow city bathroom.

  • Shower and floor tile

    Wall tile, accent bands, niches and floors laid over a waterproofed base that keeps water where it belongs.

  • Vanities and medicine cabinets

    Storage sized for small rooms: slim vanities, recessed cabinets and shelving that fits between the studs.

  • Layout changes

    Relocating the toilet, sink or shower when the old floor plan wastes space, with the plumbing rerouted to match.

  • Bathtubs and surrounds

    New alcove or soaking tubs with tiled or panel surrounds, for households that want to keep a tub.

  • Exhaust fans

    A fan vented to the outside that clears steam, which many older Milwaukee bathrooms were built without.

  • Lighting and outlets

    Brighter vanity lights and GFCI-protected outlets near the sink, installed to current code.

  • Aging-in-place features

    Grab bars, low-curb showers and comfort-height toilets that stay useful for years to come.

Materials and finishes for Milwaukee bathrooms

You choose the look. We help you pick materials that handle steam, splashes and daily cleaning.

  • Porcelain and ceramic tile

    Dense, low-maintenance tile for shower walls and floors, in sizes from mosaic to large format.

  • Stone-look accents

    Marble-look bands and niche backs that add detail without putting real stone on every wall.

  • Quartz vanity tops

    Tops that resist stains and never need sealing, a good fit for a busy family bath.

  • Glass mosaic

    Glass tile for an accent wall or tub surround, like the grey mosaic in one of our projects.

  • Fixture finishes

    Chrome, brushed nickel, matte black or bronze, matched across faucet, shower valve and accessories.

  • Waterproofing behind the tile

    The membrane you never see once the job is done, and the layer that protects the walls around a shower.

What drives the cost of a bathroom remodel in Milwaukee

Two Milwaukee bathrooms of the same size can price very differently. A refresh that keeps the tub and toilet in place costs far less than a full tear-out that moves the drain, and century-old homes bring their own surprises.

  • Moving plumbing Shifting a drain or toilet flange means opening the floor, and sometimes the ceiling of the room below.

  • Old pipes and wiring Galvanized supply lines, cast-iron drains or ungrounded circuits turn up in older city homes. If we find them, you see them first.

  • Shower build A custom tiled shower with niches takes more hours than a tub with a one-piece surround.

  • Tile choices Small mosaics and patterned layouts take longer to set than large, plain tile.

Permits for bathroom remodeling in Milwaukee

We are licensed in Wisconsin, and on every Milwaukee bathroom we pull the permits and book the inspections ourselves.

Inside city limits, remodeling permits and inspections run through the City of Milwaukee's Department of Neighborhood Services. Some homes with a Milwaukee mailing address actually sit in a neighboring suburb with its own permit office, so we confirm the municipality first.

New tile and a vanity in the same spot usually need no permit, but relocated plumbing, an extra circuit or a wall change usually does. We pull what the job needs and book inspections before the walls close. Our page on bathroom remodel permits in Wisconsin explains the basics.

Usually needs a permit

  • Relocated drains or supply lines
  • A new bathroom circuit
  • Wall removal or new framing

Usually no permit

  • Paint and trim
  • Same-spot fixture swaps
  • Retiling without layout changes

Bathroom remodeling FAQ for Milwaukee

Prefer to ask in person? We answer the phone Monday through Saturday, 7AM to 6PM.

Do you remodel bathrooms in Milwaukee duplexes?

Yes, in upper and lower units alike. For a rental or two-family home, tell us whether the other unit will be occupied, so we can plan water shutoffs and noise around the people living there.

Can a small Milwaukee bathroom fit a walk-in shower?

Often, yes. Replacing a five-foot tub with a shower in the same footprint is a common request in older homes. We check the drain location and floor framing at the walkthrough.

Who issues the permit for my Milwaukee bathroom?

For homes inside city limits, the City of Milwaukee's Department of Neighborhood Services. If your address is in a suburb, that municipality handles it. We pull the permits our work requires.

What happens if you find old pipes behind the walls?

We stop, show you what we found and talk through the options before any work or price changes.

Is the estimate for a Milwaukee bathroom free?

Yes. The walkthrough and estimate cost nothing, and the scope, quote and warranty come in writing before any deposit.

What does a bathroom remodel in Milwaukee cost?

There is no single number. Room size, whether the drain or toilet moves, the shower you choose and the tile you like all change it. After the walkthrough you receive a written quote for your own bathroom, broken down item by item.

When do I pay a deposit, and is the warranty in writing?

You pay nothing until you have read and approved the written scope and quote. The warranty is written down in the same package, so you know its terms before you commit.

How long will the bathroom be out of use?

The scope sets the timeline: keeping fixtures where they are is quicker than gutting the room and rerouting pipes. The written schedule lists demolition, inspections, tile and fixtures as milestones, so you can plan around them.
