Waukesha homes we remodel: kitchens that need more room

Many Waukesha kitchens were built for a different way of living: closed-off rooms, short upper cabinets and a single overhead light. Whether your house is an older home close to downtown or a ranch in a later subdivision, the kitchen is often the room that feels most out of date.

We drive out from 2222 N Mayfair Rd in Wauwatosa, roughly 15 miles from the center of Waukesha. Kitchens are one piece of our home remodeling in Waukesha, alongside bathrooms and basements.

Kitchen remodels we do in Waukesha

Most kitchen projects combine several of these. To see how they fit together, our kitchen remodeling overview goes deeper.

  • Layout changes and islands

    Moving the sink or range, adding an island or peninsula, and rerouting the plumbing and wiring that follow.

  • Cabinet installation

    New base and wall cabinets hung level, with pull-outs, deep drawers and pantry storage planned in.

  • Countertops

    Quartz, granite and laminate tops templated after the cabinets are set, with sink and cooktop cutouts mapped out.

  • Backsplashes

    Subway, mosaic or slab-style backsplashes, trimmed neatly at outlets, windows and the hood.

  • Lighting and electrical

    Recessed lights, under-cabinet strips and the dedicated appliance circuits a modern kitchen needs.

  • Kitchen floors

    Tile, luxury vinyl or wood-look floors, installed before or after the cabinets depending on the product.

  • Opening a wall

    Taking down or widening the wall to a dining or family room, with a beam where the wall carries load.

Torn between a refresh and a full gut? Alexis can talk through both options with you during the free walkthrough.

Kitchen materials and finishes Waukesha homeowners ask about

Kitchens take more wear than any other room, so we steer you toward surfaces that clean up easily and stand up to daily cooking.

  • Quartz countertops

    Engineered stone with consistent color and no routine sealing.

  • Granite

    Natural stone with one-of-a-kind patterns; it should be resealed from time to time.

  • Cabinet finishes

    Painted, stained or wood-grain doors, with soft-close hinges and drawer slides.

  • Hardware and fixtures

    Pulls, faucet and light finishes picked as a set, so the room reads as one design.

What drives the cost of a kitchen remodel in Waukesha

Two Waukesha kitchens of the same size can land far apart on price. The cabinet line, the countertop and whether the layout moves usually decide most of the total, and your quote lists each of them separately.

  • Cabinet line Stock, semi-custom and custom cabinets differ widely, and cabinets are often the largest line.

  • Footprint changes Moving the sink, range or a wall adds plumbing, electrical and framing work.

  • Counter material Stone tops, islands and extra cutouts add fabrication cost.

  • Electrical capacity An older panel may need upgrades before new appliances and lighting can be added.

Permits for kitchen remodeling in Waukesha

Licensed in Wisconsin, we look after every permit a Waukesha kitchen needs and keep the walls open until each inspection passes.

Replacing cabinets and counters where they already sit rarely needs a permit. Adding circuits, moving the sink or removing a wall usually does, and for homes in the city those permits come from the City of Waukesha.

We file the applications, meet the inspector for the rough-in checks and keep the walls open until the work is approved. If your address falls in a nearby town instead, we apply there.

Usually needs a permit

  • New kitchen circuits or a panel upgrade
  • Relocated sink, dishwasher or gas line
  • Removing or opening a wall

Usually no permit

  • Cabinets in the existing footprint
  • New counters and backsplash
  • Paint and cabinet hardware

I had my roofing and siding done with Generations out of Waukesha and I couldn't be happier. The crew was on time, professional, and delivered awesome attention to detail.
