Most of our renovations take approximately 6 to 12 months from initial design to completion. Your timeline depends on the number of spaces involved, design complexity, permitting, material availability and construction scope.
Often, yes. Whether you can stay in your home depends on the scope of construction and access to essential spaces, including bathrooms and cooking facilities. During a kitchen remodel, we can help plan a temporary kitchen setup to make daily routines more manageable.

Story Hill Renovations designs, builds, and finishes your home with a single team from day one. We specialize in updating older Milwaukee-area homes with thoughtful layouts, quality craftsmanship and details that respect the home’s original character. Our approach includes:
Yes, a thoughtfully planned home remodel can make everyday living more comfortable and accessible as your needs change. The bathroom is often a good place to start, with updates such as replacing a step-in tub with a curbless, walk-in shower, adding a shower bench, and choosing slip-resistant flooring. We can also incorporate grab bars positioned around how you move through the space.
Beyond the bathroom, wider doorways, improved lighting, and a main-floor primary suite can help support aging in place. We’ll work with you to create a home that meets your needs today and helps you plan for the years ahead.
Story Hill Renovations does not provide financing directly, but we can connect you with a lending resource to discuss your options. Some homeowners use home equity financing or other loans arranged through their lender.
If you are considering renovating in phases, we can discuss whether that approach makes sense for your project. The best sequence depends on how the spaces connect, shared structural or mechanical work, and the cost and disruption of separate construction phases.
