JM Remodeling & Construction has designed and built kitchens for Wauwatosa homeowners since 1990. Licensed, bonded, and insured, we handle everything from custom cabinetry and countertops to full gut renovations with our own in-house team of designers and tradespeople.
Wauwatosa is a city of established homes, and the kitchen is usually the room that shows its age first. At JM Remodeling & Construction, we design and build Wauwatosa kitchens from the first sketch to the final walkthrough. Our design-build process keeps planning, cabinetry, and construction under one roof, so you work with one accountable team instead of coordinating a designer, a contractor, and a cabinet supplier on your own.
Whether you are opening up a closed-off floor plan, replacing dated cabinets and counters, or taking the kitchen down to the studs, we handle the permits, the trades, and the details. Every Wauwatosa project runs through the same standard of craftsmanship we have brought to Milwaukee-area homes for more than three decades.

A full kitchen remodel touches nearly every part of the room. On a typical Wauwatosa project we plan the layout first, then handle cabinetry, countertops, backsplash, flooring, lighting, and the plumbing and electrical behind the walls. Because our designers and carpenters work together from day one, the finishes you choose and the structure that supports them are coordinated from the start.
Wauwatosa’s older housing stock adds a layer most remodelers gloss over. Behind the plaster you often find original framing, dated wiring, and masonry that has to be worked around or worked with. On a recent Wauwatosa kitchen, our team kept the home’s original brick chimney exposed as a design feature, then built clean white shaker cabinetry and quartz counters around it, so the space felt current without erasing the character of the house. That is the kind of judgment call our in-house crew makes every day.

Most full kitchen remodels run several weeks on site once demolition begins, depending on the scope, the layout changes, and material lead times. Older Wauwatosa homes sometimes surface surprises behind the walls, which is why we give you a project schedule before any work starts and keep you updated as the project moves.
Yes. As your design-build contractor we pull the required Wauwatosa permits and coordinate inspections with the city, so you do not have to manage that process yourself.
Absolutely. Some kitchens just need updated cabinets, counters, and lighting within the current footprint. Others benefit from opening up a wall or reworking the layout. We scope each project to your home and how you use the space.
Regularly. A large share of Wauwatosa's homes were built decades ago, and updating their kitchens means planning around original framing, plaster, and sometimes masonry. We have done this in Milwaukee-area homes since 1990 and plan for it from the start.
One team. Our in-house designers and tradespeople handle your project from concept to completion, with a single point of contact throughout.
Wauwatosa homeowners invest in their kitchens because it is the room the household actually lives in. Whether you are in a pre-war home near the Village or a mid-century house on the west side, JM Remodeling handles the full project: design, cabinetry, countertops, flooring, lighting, and the structural and mechanical work behind the walls.
As a design-build remodeler, we plan and build every project with one team. That keeps your budget, your timeline, and your finishes coordinated from the first drawing to the final inspection, and it gives you a single point of contact the whole way through.
Common requests from Wauwatosa homeowners include opening the kitchen to the dining or living area, adding an island with seating, replacing dated cabinets with custom or semi-custom cabinetry, upgrading to quartz or natural stone counters, and improving task and ambient lighting. In older homes, we also work original details like exposed brick or masonry into the design rather than hiding them. We help you weigh which changes add the most function and long-term value.
The part of our work Wauwatosa homeowners mention most is the quality of the people doing it. Our carpenters, cabinet installers, and finish trades are in-house, trained through our own apprenticeship program rather than assembled from low-bid subcontractors. That shows up in the fit of the cabinetry, the clean tile lines, and the way the job site is left at the end of each day.
