Home Remodeling Contractor in Greenfield, WI | Elite Improvements
Greenfield homeowners have a distinct set of needs. Situated roughly 10 miles south of downtown Milwaukee along the I-894/US-45 corridor, the city is packed with mid-century ranch homes, split-levels, and newer construction developments that each come with their own remodeling challenges and opportunities. If your home feels too small, outdated, or simply no longer fits your life, Elite Improvements is the home remodeling contractor in Greenfield, WI built to help you fix that.
We serve residential homeowners across the Walworth-Racine-Kenosha-Milwaukee corridor with full-service remodeling: kitchens, bathrooms, basements, master suites, room additions, and whole-home projects. Licensed and insured, with years of experience in southeastern Wisconsin, our team brings professional craftsmanship and honest communication to every job.

Full-Service Home Remodeling in Greenfield, Wisconsin
Greenfield sits in a sweet spot for homeowners who want suburban convenience without sacrificing proximity to Milwaukee’s job market and amenities. That’s reflected in the housing stock. Many neighborhoods north of Layton Avenue are lined with 1,950s and 1,960s ranch homes that are structurally solid but functionally dated. Kitchens are small and closed off. Bathrooms have one sink. Basements sit unfinished for years. Meanwhile, newer neighborhoods closer to the Root River Parkway attract buyers who want custom finishes from day one.
Elite Improvements works with both. We’ve helped families open up floor plans in older ranches, finished lower levels that sat unused for a decade, and built master suite additions that gave growing families the space they needed. Our work spans the full remodeling spectrum, so you don’t need to hire a separate contractor for each phase of a larger project. One team, one point of contact, one accountability structure from planning through final walkthrough.
We’re licensed and insured in Wisconsin [INSERT LICENSE NUMBER], and we carry the credentials and trade relationships that come from years of working across Milwaukee County and the surrounding region. Learn more about which remodeling projects add the most value to your home.
Kitchen Remodeling That Transforms the Heart of Your Greenfield Home
The kitchen is almost always the first room Greenfield homeowners want to remodel. In a 1,960s ranch, the original kitchen was often a closed, galley-style layout with low cabinet ceilings, laminate countertops, and limited storage. Modern families cook differently, entertain differently, and expect more from that space.
Elite Improvements handles kitchen remodels from cosmetic refreshes to full structural overhauls. We remove walls to create open-concept layouts, install custom or semi-custom cabinetry, replace countertops with quartz or granite, upgrade to energy-efficient appliances, and add islands or breakfast bars where the footprint allows. We also manage all the behind-the-scenes work: electrical, plumbing, and ventilation updates that code-compliant remodels require.
A mid-range kitchen remodel in the Milwaukee metro typically runs between $30,000 and $65,000, depending on layout changes, material choices, and appliance upgrades. Full custom kitchens can go higher. We walk through realistic budget ranges during your initial consultation so there are no surprises mid-project. See our custom kitchen and bath work for examples of what’s possible.
Bathroom Renovations Built for Comfort and Long-Term Value
Bathroom remodels rank among the highest-ROI home improvement projects in the Milwaukee metro, and for good reason. An updated bathroom makes daily life better and meaningfully boosts resale appeal. Greenfield’s housing stock often includes single-sink bathrooms, tub-only setups, and dated tile work that buyers immediately flag during showings.
Our bathroom projects range from straightforward fixture-and-tile updates to complete gut-and-rebuild jobs. We install walk-in showers with frameless glass enclosures, double vanities, heated tile floors, freestanding soaking tubs, and custom built-in storage. For homes with only one full bath, we’ve helped homeowners add a second bath by converting underused closets or reconfiguring adjacent bedroom space.
One of the decisions homeowners wrestle with most is the master bath layout. If you’re thinking through that process, our guide on how to make your master bath perfect covers the key design decisions before you commit to a plan. Budget realistically: a mid-range bathroom remodel in this market runs $12,000 to $30,000, while a high-end master bath renovation can reach $50,000 or more depending on scope.
Basement Finishing and Master Suite Additions in Greenfield
Unfinished basements are one of the most common missed opportunities in Greenfield homes. Many of the city’s ranch and split-level properties sit on full basements that function as little more than storage. Finishing that space can add a functional family room, a home office, a guest suite, or a dedicated entertainment area without touching the home’s footprint.
A typical basement finish in southeastern Wisconsin runs between $25,000 and $55,000 depending on square footage, ceiling height, bathroom inclusion, and egress requirements. Elite Improvements handles egress window installation, framing, insulation, drywall, flooring, electrical, and any plumbing needed for a wet bar or bathroom. We pull all required permits through the City of Greenfield and schedule inspections so the finished space meets code.
Master suite additions are a different category entirely. Rather than finishing existing space, a master suite addition expands the home’s footprint, typically adding 300 to 600 square feet of bedroom and bathroom space. These projects are more involved but often the best path for families who’ve outgrown their current bedroom situation. See our full overview of basement remodeling services in southeastern Wisconsin.
Whole-Home Remodels: When One Room Is Not Enough
Some homes need more than a single updated room. Greenfield homeowners who bought older ranches in the $250,000 to $350,000 range often discover, after a few years, that piecemeal updates aren’t adding up to a home they love. A whole-home remodel addresses that problem systematically.
Elite Improvements manages whole-home projects from initial design consultation through final punch list. That means coordinating kitchen, bathrooms, flooring, electrical, HVAC, and structural changes under one contract. It also means one schedule, one crew, and one person answering your calls when questions come up. We’ve completed whole-home remodels across the Milwaukee-area corridor, transforming dated 1,200-square-foot ranches into modern open-concept homes that feel significantly larger without adding square footage.

Whole-home budgets vary widely, but planning for $100,000 to $300,000 is realistic for a thorough, quality renovation of a mid-sized Greenfield home.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a home remodel cost in Greenfield, WI?
Costs vary significantly by project scope. A bathroom remodel might run $12,000 to $30,000. A kitchen remodel typically falls between $30,000 and $65,000. Basement finishing often ranges from $25,000 to $55,000. Whole-home remodels can range from $100,000 to $300,000 or more depending on the size of the home and depth of the renovation. Elite Improvements provides itemized written proposals before any contract is signed, so you understand exactly what your investment covers.
Do I need a permit for a kitchen or bathroom remodel in Greenfield?
Most kitchen and bathroom remodels that involve electrical, plumbing, or structural changes require permits through the City of Greenfield’s Building Inspection division. Cosmetic updates like painting or replacing fixtures generally don’t. Elite Improvements handles all permit applications and inspection scheduling on your behalf, so you don’t need to navigate that process yourself.
How long does a full home remodel typically take?
Timelines depend on project scope. A single bathroom remodel often takes three to six weeks. A kitchen remodel can run six to twelve weeks. Whole-home remodels and additions typically take four to ten months from permit approval through completion. We provide a realistic project schedule in writing before construction begins and communicate proactively if anything affects that timeline.
Does Elite Improvements handle design as well as construction?
Yes. We guide homeowners through material selections, layout options, and design decisions as part of our planning process. For larger projects that require architectural drawings or structural engineering, we coordinate that support directly. You don’t need to hire a separate designer and then find a contractor to execute the plans.
Can you remodel one room at a time, or do you only do whole-home projects?
We work on projects of all sizes. Single-room remodels, like a kitchen or bathroom update, are just as welcome as multi-phase whole-home projects. Many of our Greenfield clients start with one room and return for additional work once they see the results. There’s no minimum project size requirement.
Your Greenfield home has more potential than you might think. Whether the goal is a modernized kitchen, a finished basement that finally gets used, or a full-scale renovation that changes how the whole house feels, Elite Improvements has the experience and the team to make it happen. We’re a licensed, insured home remodeling contractor serving Greenfield and the greater Milwaukee-area corridor, and we’re straightforward about costs, timelines, and what the work actually involves.
