Our Process – How We Remodel Homes in the Milwaukee Metro Area

A successful remodel doesn’t start with demolition—it starts with trust, communication, and planning. At Kelmann Homes, we guide homeowners through every step of the home remodeling process, offering expert support from the initial consultation through the final walkthrough. Whether it’s your first renovation or your fifth, we make the process of remodeling a home smooth, straightforward, and enjoyable. We’ve refined our approach over decades to ensure clarity, consistency, and craftsmanship in every project we complete.

Our Step-by-Step Remodeling Process

Before any work begins, we get to know your space, your goals, and your vision. Every remodel we complete follows a structured yet flexible approach tailored to each homeowner.

  • Consultation & Vision Planning – We begin with an in-depth conversation about your needs, goals, and how you want your space to function. This includes a home visit, measurements, and inspiration sharing.
  • Design & Budget Proposal – Our design team creates a plan that aligns with your vision and budget. We’ll walk you through layout options, materials, and finishes to ensure you’re confident in the direction.
  • Final Design & Contract – Once the design is finalized, we prepare a detailed construction agreement, schedule, and project plan. Everything is clearly outlined so there are no surprises.
  • Permits & Preparation – We handle all necessary permits, inspections, and approvals. We also coordinate with vendors and order materials to stay ahead of schedule.
  • Construction & Project Management – Our experienced crews begin the build phase. A dedicated project manager is your point of contact, keeping you informed and answering questions throughout the job.
  • Walkthrough & Completion – We complete a final walkthrough to ensure every detail meets your expectations. Any punch list items are promptly resolved.
