Remodeling in Watertown, WI

Fixed written scope with an allowance structure for the things you choose — tile, fixtures, cabinetry. That way the number moves only when you decide it should, and you can see exactly what a nicer faucet costs. Every job here runs on a written contract that names the materials by make and grade, the start and completion dates, the total price and the warranty — the contents Wis. Admin. Code § ATCP 110.05 requires of a home improvement contract in this state. A quote that is one number with no line items is a quote you cannot compare with anybody else’s.

Yes, almost always. A kitchen or bathroom remodel takes the room out of use, not the house: we set up a temporary kitchen where there is space, seal the work area from the rest with plastic and a zip door, and a basement finish barely touches the floors above. The hard case is a single-bathroom house during a bathroom gut, and we will tell you before you sign how many days you will be without it.

It depends on the town and on the work. The City of Watertown publishes that installing kitchen cabinets and replacing flooring need no permit; moving walls, plumbing or electrical does. Sun Prairie publishes that “major construction and remodels will require permits”. Because SPS 320.09(2)(b) leaves alterations to local ordinance, we check your municipality before quoting and pull whatever is needed — the permit guide has every town we work in.

If we came to your home and you signed there, Wisconsin gives you until midnight of the third business day to cancel in writing under Wis. Stat. § 423.203, and our contract carries that notice. Beyond that, a fixed scope means changes are priced as changes, in writing, before they happen — not discovered on the invoice.
