How long does a remodel take?

Timelines depend on the type of project and the materials involved. Bathrooms typically take two to six weeks. Kitchens with custom cabinetry sit closer to two to three and a half months. Basements run two to six weeks for most scopes. Whole-home remodels vary the most and get scoped out individually. You will have a clear project schedule in hand before construction starts.

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.

How We Run a Remodel

Each step leads into the next, and nothing gets handed off to someone who was not there from the beginning.

Collaborate

You walk through what your home needs and what matters most to your family. Everything gets shaped into a 3D plan so the finished result is visible and agreed upon before any work begins.

Build

The crew arrives on a schedule you already know about. Permits are pulled, trades are lined up, and a daily update keeps you current without you having to ask.

Enjoy

The project closes, the space is yours, and your home finally looks the way you had pictured it.

Questions Medford Homeowners Ask Before Getting Started

How much does a kitchen remodel cost in Medford, 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.

Will my remodel need permits?

Some projects require them and some do not. Structural work, plumbing changes, and electrical upgrades generally trigger permit requirements. We manage the full process, from paperwork to inspector coordination, so that piece never becomes your problem. Before we break ground, you know exactly what is required and what to expect.

Do you design the space before building it?

Every project starts with a professional 3D design. You see the layout, materials, finishes, and fixtures in detail before a single thing gets built. That design phase is where decisions get made carefully, so by the time construction starts, the plan is solid and the result is predictable.

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.

Who will be working in my home?

A focused team of vetted craftsmen and trusted local subcontractors with experience in residential remodeling. You will be introduced to everyone before they set foot inside. Justin oversees scheduling, quality, and daily progress, and stays in direct contact with you throughout. Everyone on site knows what they are doing and who they answer to.

Do you offer a warranty?

Every project is backed by a 5-year workmanship warranty that covers material and craftsmanship defects. The team stays available well after completion, and Justin follows up after the project closes to make sure the finished product is holding up the way it should.
