Meet Justin, your design-build lead.
Hi, I’m Justin Pagel, owner of Remodeling Journey.
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 in the loop.
If you’re in Minocqua or nearby, we’ll make this easy and predictable.
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 much does a kitchen remodel cost?
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 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 usually take?
Timelines depend on the scope and the materials you choose, but here’s a quick, realistic breakdown for homeowners in Central Wisconsin.
Bathrooms:
Small powder rooms can take around 2 weeks. A standard hallway bath with a tiled tub surround usually takes 3–4 weeks, while a full bath with a tiled shower runs 4–5 weeks. High-end bathrooms may take 5–6 weeks, plus an additional 4–8 weeks if you’re ordering custom glass.
Kitchens:
Simple kitchen updates like new countertops and backsplash can wrap up in about a week. Full kitchen remodels take longer, especially if you want custom cabinets (2 to 3.5 months) or laminate countertops that require special lead times (up to 2 months). Layout changes also add time. If needed, we can install temporary countertops so your kitchen stays usable.
Basements:
Basement remodels generally take 2–6 weeks depending on complexity. We build schedules around your daily life, avoiding noisy work when the kids are asleep or you’re on important calls.
Whole-home remodel:
Because every home remodel is unique, the best way to get a solid timeline is to talk it through together. We’ll give you a realistic estimate upfront and stick to deadlines without cutting corners.
Are you licensed?
Yes. Remodeling Journey holds a Wisconsin Dwelling Contractor License (#DC072000742), which means the company is fully certified to handle kitchen, bathroom, basement, and full home remodels across Central Wisconsin.
Justin, the owner, also carries a personal Dwelling Contractor Qualifier License (#DCQ072000769).
Both the business and the person leading your project are officially licensed, trained, and accountable, so you can feel confident your remodel is in the hands of real professionals.
Will I need permits for my remodel?
Some remodels need permits depending on the scope, plumbing changes, electrical work, or structural updates. We handle the entire approval process for you, including paperwork and coordination with local inspectors in Central Wisconsin.
Before we start, we will walk through the plan together and let you know exactly which parts require permits and what the timeline looks like.
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 on my remodel?
You will work with a small, vetted team of in-house craftsmen and trusted local subcontractors who specialize in kitchens, bathrooms, basements, and full home remodels across Central Wisconsin. Before any work begins, you will meet the people who will actually be in your home so you always know who you are welcoming inside.
Owner Justin personally supervises the entire process. He handles scheduling, quality checks, daily progress, and any changes that come up. Communication stays clear and open so you never have to guess who is doing what or why. The goal is simple: skilled people doing honest work, supervised closely, with no surprises.
Do you offer a warranty for my remodel?
Yes. Every remodel we complete comes with a 5-year workmanship warranty that covers material and craftsmanship defects. We want your space to look great and stay that way, so the support does not end the moment the tools leave your driveway.
Owner Justin checks in after the project is finished to make sure everything still feels right, and we are always available for questions or concerns long after the remodel is complete. Your project is not just a job that ends on the last day. We stay involved so the result continues to hold up for years.
Do you provide a design for my remodel?
Yes. Every remodel starts with a professional 3D design so you can see your new kitchen, bathroom, basement, or entire home before any work begins. We use these designs to walk through layout ideas, materials, colors, fixtures, and all the details that shape the final look.
For kitchens, this often means exploring cabinet styles, countertops, appliances, and finishes together. For bathrooms, we start with the big pieces like the shower and flooring, then dial in vanities, faucets, and lighting. Basements get the same treatment so the layout, colors, and furniture plan make sense before anything gets built.
The goal is simple. You should know exactly what you are getting and feel confident in the plan from the start, with no ugly or awkward surprises once construction begins.
