What Whole-House Home Remodeling in Rothschild, WI Actually Gives You Back
Picture the version of your house where the hallway no longer bottlenecks at the bathroom door, where the primary suite has real closet space, and where you can see the kids at the island while you finish dinner. Same address, same trees out front, a floor plan that finally cooperates.
That is what a whole-house remodel buys. Not a room at a time over eleven years, but one coordinated project that leaves you with a house you would choose again.
Rothschild has good bones to work with. The village went from 450 residents at incorporation in 1917 to roughly 5,600 today, which means the housing here spans mill-era homes near Weston Avenue, solid postwar builds, and subdivisions that went up as the D.C. Everest schools grew.
Different decades, different framing, different quirks behind the drywall. All of them worth opening up.
We are Remodeling Journey, a design-build remodeler based a few minutes up Schofield Avenue in Weston.
Justin Pagel holds the Wisconsin Dwelling Contractor Qualifier license, our designers and our carpenters work for the same company, and we carry a project from the first sketch through the final inspection without handing you off to anyone.
You will see your house in 3D before we swing a hammer, walk through it in VR if you want to stand inside it, and get consistent updates from a team that treats your address like the only job on the calendar.

Enjoyed working with Remodeling Journey! Their project management and attention to detail was excellent. Their sub-contractors were all top notch. Would hire again.
So, What Does a Whole-House Remodel Actually Run?
- Around $20,000 for a single-room remodel
- $150,000 to $180,000 for a paired kitchen and bathroom of roughly 350 square feet
- $150,000 to $700,000 for a full home remodel, depending on square footage, structural work, and finish level
Three real projects, with the numbers we actually billed:
| Project | Scope | Investment |
|---|---|---|
| Wausau | 314 sq ft kitchen and bathroom | $161,000 |
| Schofield | 2,770 sq ft full home remodel | $346,000 |
| Central WI | 1,560 sq ft covering kitchen, living room, bathroom, and bedroom | $327,000 |
Where the money goes: layout changes that move plumbing or bearing walls, cabinetry level, countertop material, and how much of the mechanical system needs to be brought current. We put all of it in writing before anyone signs.
How a Rothschild Remodel Comes Together
1
Walk the House
We look at what is load-bearing, where the mechanicals run, and which walls are actually in your way.
2
Draw It in 3D
You see the finished rooms rendered before you commit, with a VR walkthrough available so you can judge the ceiling height and sightlines for yourself.
3
Build in Sequence
Demolition, structure, mechanicals, finishes, in an order that keeps the house safe and the schedule honest. We pull the permits and meet the inspectors.

Rothschild began as a paper town. Marathon Paper Mills organized in 1909 and ran its first reel of paper in November 1910, the village incorporated in 1917 with 450 people, and the mill on the Wisconsin River shaped the street grid that residents still drive today. Now it is a Marathon County village of roughly 5,600 with the Mountain-Bay State Trail running through it, Gaska Park’s wooded paths on one side, and the Rothschild Pavilion still hosting the events people drive in from Wausau for. You can get a feel for the area through the Rothschild visitor guide, and permit forms, zoning maps, and the current fee schedule live on the Village of Rothschild website. Homes here sit on generous lots with mature trees, which is exactly the situation where remodeling the house you own beats starting over somewhere else.
