Meet Justin, Meet Justin, your local design-build remodeling lead.

Hi, I’m Justin Pagel, owner of Remodeling Journey and a design-build remodeling contractor serving Minocqua, WI.

Remodeling shouldn’t feel like a fight. My team keeps it simple: we listen, design it in 3D so you know what you’re getting, then the same crew builds it and keeps you informed every step of the way.

If you’re in Minocqua or nearby, we make home remodeling straightforward and predictable.

Rated 5 out of 5

From our first meeting I could tell Justin saw my vision and heard my needs for my new kitchen space and bathroom. The communication never stopped. He emailed daily and also kept the project software app up to date. My project finished 2 months ahead of schedule.

He also worked VERY HARD to insure I had a functioning kitchen for the Christmas Holiday. I welcome you to review my projects before and after photos. You will be astonished. I would recommend Remodeling Journey for any of your remodeling needs. It’s all about the details which Justin masters with ease.

Questions Abbotsford Homeowners Ask Before Getting Started

How much does a kitchen remodel cost in Abbotsford, WI?

Our kitchen remodeling service is looking to cater to all kinds of budgets. Even with our base kitchen remodel (around $42k), you can enjoy new countertops, efficient and quality lighting fixtures, a new sink, and more.

You can upgrade your kitchen for around $71k with more convenient pieces, including new custom cabinets, new hard surface countertops, new flooring, and updated lighting configurations.

Looking to have a kitchen up to cooking TV show standards? Starting at $97k, you can get cabinets and countertops, smart lighting, upgraded appliances, and more.

How much does a whole-home remodel cost?

A home remodel in Wausau, WI, doesn’t have to be expensive, but different factors come into play, and they can change the end costs.

If your budget allows it, you can spend anywhere between $150k to $700k for a home remodel based on the size of your home, the end details, and how much you want to change.

For example, you could spend around $150k to $180k for a 350-square-foot bathroom and kitchen remodel. That includes new kitchen and bathroom cabinets, backsplash, tiles showers with custom glass surround, and more.

How long does a remodel take?

It depends on the scope of the project and the materials selected. Bathrooms generally run two to six weeks depending on complexity. Kitchens with custom cabinets take longer, typically two to three and a half months. Basements sit in the two-to-six-week range for most projects. Whole-home remodels vary the most because no two homes are the same. After your consultation, you will get a clear, realistic timeline before any work begins.

Will my remodel need permits?

Some projects do and some do not. Structural changes, plumbing work, and electrical upgrades typically require permits, and we handle the full process on your behalf, including paperwork and coordination with local inspectors. Before construction starts, we walk through exactly what your project requires so nothing catches you off guard.

Do you provide a design before construction starts?

Every project starts with a professional 3D design. You will see your kitchen, bathroom, basement, or full home before a single tool comes out. We use that design to work through layout, materials, finishes, and all the details that shape what the space will look and feel like. The goal is that nothing about the finished result surprises you.

How much does a bathroom remodel cost?

Whether you need bathroom remodeling in Weston, Rib Mountain, or other Wisconsin areas, our prices start at $29k for base bathrooms. That includes new light fixtures, plumbing upgrades, new vanity, flooring, and a tiled tub surround.

For roughly $47k, you can also get an extra/double vanity and sink (great for couples and larger families that share a bathroom), new tile floors, fully-tiled shower, and other practical and high-quality upgrades.

High-end bathrooms are $68k or more, but your bathroom will resemble the ones found in 5-star hotels.

How much does a basement remodel cost?

If you want something simple yet classy and practical, our basement remodeling services in Wausau WI start at $48k. You can get a bang for your buck and get a 600-square-foot basement looking like a brand-new room. We remodel everything from ceiling to floor, adding fresh coats of paint and that trim you’ve been dying to have.

Prices can reach $83k or more if you want a custom bar with a luxury-looking countertop, accent walls, and the custom finishes of your choice. We handle the entire process; you just figure out how you want to use the room to your advantage.

Are you licensed to work in Abbotsford, WI?

Yes. Remodeling Journey holds a Wisconsin Dwelling Contractor License (#DC072000742). Justin also carries a personal Dwelling Contractor Qualifier License (#DCQ072000769). Both the business and the person overseeing your project are fully licensed and accountable under Wisconsin state requirements.

Who will actually be working in my home?

A small, vetted team of in-house craftsmen and trusted local subcontractors who specialize in residential remodeling. You will meet the people coming into your home before work begins. Justin oversees the full project, handles scheduling and quality checks, and stays in direct contact with you throughout. Skilled people, supervised closely, with clear communication at every stage.

Do you offer a warranty?

Every completed project is backed by a 5-year workmanship warranty covering material and craftsmanship defects. The support does not stop when the crew packs up. Justin checks in after the project wraps to make sure everything still feels right, and the team stays available well after the remodel is complete.
