Make Every Square Inch of Your Home Matter

What would you do with an extra room? Perhaps you want a gym so close that all you had to do was walk down a flight of stairs. Or maybe a private area to enjoy a book in silence, watch the Green Bay Packers play, or more space for your children to play.

None of that has to be a distant dream. We think homes should be about comfort from top to bottom, and the “bottom” doesn’t have to be an unused basement. You can enjoy that space in so many ways, so tell us what you need and we’ll design a functional basement that serves your family’s needs.

How fast can you remodel my basement?

Your basement remodel in Wausau can take between 2 and 6 weeks, depending on the project’s complexity. We’ll put together a work schedule that allows us to meet our deadlines while still letting you live comfortably as your remodel unfolds. We won’t hammer away while the kids are asleep or make noise if you have an important work call.

Who is going to be working on my basement remodel?

Trusted craftsmen and subcontractors will handle the work, with owner Justin supervising the entire process and keeping you updated on everything. You can meet these professionals ahead of time and discover how they can turn a damp basement into a room filled with style and functionality.

Are you licensed?

You may rest assured that Remodeling Journey will deliver an excellent job because we hold a Dwelling Contractor License #DC072000742. Justin carries a Dwelling Contractor Qualification License #DCQ072000769 in his own right. That makes both the company and its owner certified and highly capable of completing your basement remodel flawlessly.

How much does a basement remodel cost?

If you want something simple yet classy and practical, our basement remodeling services in 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.

Do you offer a warranty for my basement remodel?

We take pride in what we do, from the materials we choose to the work we put in to make everything look and work according to plan. Aside from the 5-year warranty that covers working and material defects, owner Justin also checks up after the project is completed to make sure you love every detail.

Do you provide a design for my basement remodel?

No basement remodel would ever be complete if we didn’t fully share your vision of how it should look. 3D designs help both of us, so we use them to give you a clearer picture of how your end basement will look like. Together, we’ll see how every color, fixture, and piece of furniture falls into place, so you never have to deal with inaesthetic and dysfunctional surprises.
