Built Around You

Good remodel design starts with how you use the space

How rooms connect matters as much as how they look. We start with how your household actually moves through the house: where people gather, where traffic backs up, and which rooms go unused and why. That map is what the design answers to.
Structural, electrical, and mechanical work is planned before a wall comes down rather than discovered behind it. One accountable team carries the project from the first drawings to the final walkthrough, so nothing is handed off and lost between trades.
Layouts planned around how your household actually lives
Structural and mechanical work scoped before demolition, not after
Storage designed into the plan instead of added at the end
Finishes, hardware, and trim carried consistently room to room

Founded in 2009 by Greg Wade and Andy Schafer, brothers-in-law and seasoned general contractors, Advantage Design + Remodel is more than just a remodeling company. It’s a testament to a shared vision of transforming homes with meticulous care and superior craftsmanship. Greg and Andy, with their deep-rooted expertise in home construction and renovation, have been redefining living spaces across New Berlin, Milwaukee, Whitefish Bay, Brookfield, Elm Grove, Wauwatosa, and surrounding Wisconsin communities.
From your first cup of coffee in the morning through a day’s worth of meals, beverage runs, to late-night snacks, your Brookfield kitchen is a busy place. It’s a nice spot for breakfast, a quick sandwich or snack, or a cup of tea. Also, it serves as a social hub that keeps the family together. Think of it as the heart of your home and the better it functions, the better it looks, and the better it feels, the better it will serve the home. It has to allow for natural traffic flow, provide adequate space for tasks and storage, and make cooking more comfortable and convenient.
Although the DIY television shows make bathroom remodeling look easy, it isn’t. In fact, it’s a complicated process that requires precise design skills, architectural drawings, construction experience, not to mention plumbing and electrical experience. At best, a homeowner can hire individual tradespeople to do the work, but that’s tedious and nerve wracking. A design/build bathroom remodeling contractor in Brookfield, WI like Advantage Design + Remodel takes care of everything for you. We make the process easy and stress-free.
When you first bought your house, your kids were young and didn’t mind sharing a room. They’re going to be teenagers now and those shared bedrooms are causing friction. Or, perhaps you have frequent out-of-town visitors and your spare room also doubles as your home office. You clearly need more space. A basement remodel can transform that largely unused space into a spare bedroom or two, bathroom suites, or a complete guest apartment. Let us help you design the perfect basement for your family’s unique needs.

Common Questions

Remodeling questions

How long does a remodel take?+
Most kitchens and primary baths run 8 to 12 weeks once construction starts, and smaller rooms move faster. The timeline accounts for ordering and lead times, plus key milestones with updates throughout.
Will I know what it will look like before construction?+
Yes. You review Chief Architect drawings and 3D renderings during design and development, and key decisions are finalized before the job starts.
Who handles permits, plumbing, and electrical?+
We do. As a design-build firm, you will not need to hire a designer, architect, general contractor, plumber, or electrician separately. One team, one point of contact.
Can I stay in my home during the remodel?+
Almost all of our clients do. We set containment, floor protection, and daily cleanup standards, and use HEPA air filtration to manage dust.
