Design/build contractor for custom homes and serious renovations in Southeastern Wisconsin lake country. We take on the projects most builders pass on, and we tell you the real number before we start.
Start with a ballparkSee the workIn the news: Nakama, the Milwaukee omakase counter we built from bare walls, was featured by Bloomberg in 2026.
A-frames, cantilevers, a nationally covered restaurant, and lake houses rebuilt top to bottom.
Most remodel horror stories start the same way: a pretty drawing, a vague bid, and a budget that falls apart in month two.
We do it backwards. You tell us the number. We design and engineer to it, make the selections before demo, and hand you a fixed-price contract with a scope you can read. Then our project manager runs the site every day and you get one person to call.
We're a small company on purpose. Chris Grunewald, the owner, is the one you talk to from ballpark to walkthrough.
About PremierFour steps. The first one costs you a phone call.
You tell us what you want to do. We give you an honest range based on jobs we've actually built. If the number works for you, we meet at the house. If it doesn't, nobody wasted a Saturday.
We design and engineer around the number you can spend, instead of pricing an architect's drawing after the fact. Selections get made now, not mid-build.
You get a fixed-price contract with a detailed scope. Permits, engineering and material lead times are handled before demo day.
Our project manager runs the site daily. You get regular updates, one point of contact, and a final walkthrough. Two-year workmanship warranty.
If you can dream it, we can build it. These are the ones people call about most.
Ground-up builds on your land, designed to the number you can actually spend. A-frames, cantilevers, lake houses, the stuff other builders pass on.
Second stories, four-season rooms, master suites, bump-outs. Tied into the existing house so it looks like it was always there.
Full gut kitchens and layout changes. Custom and semi-custom cabinetry, walls removed, electrical done right.
Tile showers, freestanding tubs, custom vanities. One hall bath or every bath in the house.
Bedrooms, bars, theaters, full baths. Rough-in to final paint, permitted and inspected.
Covered porches, patios, decks, outdoor kitchens and the landscape work that ties the whole property together.
Composite, PVC or exotic hardwood on wood, steel or composite framing. Cable or steel rail. Multi-level, wraparound, hot tub decks, screened porches.
Cabins, A-frames and lake houses built to book. We've designed and built rentals that stay full, and we know what guests photograph.
Restaurants, bars, shops and offices. We built Nakama in Milwaukee from bare walls to opening night.
We publish our pricing. Not because every job fits a tier, but because you should know whether we're in your world before we meet.
