Home Remodeling in Wauwatosa, WI

Wauwatosa is one of metro Milwaukee’s oldest and most architecturally rich suburbs, and remodeling here is a craft of its own. From the Victorian homes and storefronts of Tosa Village to the Craftsman bungalows, American Foursquares, and Colonial Revivals of Washington Highlands and East Tosa, much of the housing stock dates to the early 1900s through the 1930s — beautiful, character-filled homes that also come with plaster walls, knob-and-tube wiring, galvanized plumbing, and thin original insulation.

That’s where family-owned 2nd Life Home Remodeling comes in. Based about 20 minutes southwest in New Berlin, we’ve spent 20+ years updating century homes and postwar ranches alike across southeastern Wisconsin — modernizing kitchens and baths, finishing basements, and opening attics while respecting the home’s original character. We also navigate Wauwatosa’s historic design-review process when your home or district calls for it, so your project stays on the right side of city approval.
