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.

Do You Do Basement Waterproofing & Moisture Control?

A dry basement comes first. Before finishing or remodeling, we assess moisture, drainage, and foundation condition, then address problems with interior or exterior solutions, from sump pumps to drain tile. Read our guide to basement waterproofing in Wisconsin to learn the warning signs, methods, and costs before you build out your lower level.

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.

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.

A smooth Design - Remodel Experience

Instead of getting a design that’ll cost you twice more than you budgeted for, let’s make it easier.

Before we start designing your new bathroom, let’s sit down and talk about your needs, lifestyle, budget, and preferences.

Once we understand what you want, Adria will create a beautiful and detailed 3D render of the new space.

You’ll choose every finish before you commit to construction, and when we begin, this ensures your project remains on time, on budget, and you’ll remove a lot of headaches.

[…] From the very first meeting, Justin was transparent, honest, and extremely thorough with the quoting process. There were no surprises—everything was clearly explained upfront, which immediately built trust.

Communication was one of their greatest strengths. They used the JobTread app, which allowed us to track progress, schedules, updates, and communication in real time. It made the entire process incredibly organized and stress-free.

[…] We had a very positive experience with Remodeling Journey for the design and execution of our recent kitchen refresh. Their detailed website and quick responses gave us confidence from the start – their sample projects online include scope and budget to provide reasonable expectations of what various updates might cost. They took our inspiration photos and executed our vision, but also made the process much easier by simplifying our choices and providing all options within our budget (no up-selling or pressuring).

[…] From our initial consultation to our final walkthrough, they maintained clear and open communication. All concerns, no matter the size, were addressed immediately and resolved without any worries. We felt very heard and Justin always worked with us to make sure we would love the final outcome. We appreciate the 5 year guarantee on our bathroom remodel, proving Justin and his team want us to be happy with the final results. They truly go above and beyond to deliver exceptional results, and we wouldn’t hesitate to hire them again for future projects.
