Our Approach

Design and Construction.
Under One Roof.

Most homeowners dread the remodeling process. Coordinating between a designer, a general contractor, and a parade of subcontractors turns what should be exciting into something exhausting. It doesn't have to be that way.

As a true design-build firm, we keep everything in-house. Your designer and your builder share the same office, the same timeline, and the same commitment to your project. The result is a smoother process, a more cohesive design, and a home you genuinely love coming back to.

See It First

Photorealistic 3D renderings let you walk through your new space before we swing a single hammer. No guessing, no surprises.

One Accountable Team

Design and construction under one roof means no finger-pointing, no miscommunication, and one team who owns every detail.

Fixed-Price Clarity

After design is complete, you get a fixed-price contract. No surprise change orders, no vague allowances. Just honest numbers.

The People Behind the Work

We Don't Just Care
About Your Home

We care about you.

Greg Wade and Andy Schafer founded Advantage Design + Remodel on a simple belief: that the remodeling process should be as rewarding as the result. Over two decades later, that principle hasn't changed.

They've built a team that treats your home the way they'd treat their own - with care, craftsmanship, and a relentless attention to detail. From the first conversation to the final walkthrough, you'll feel the difference that comes from working with people who genuinely love what they do.

They did their usual excellent job remodeling our powder room, changing a staircase from carpeting with pine treads to stained oak treads, and fixing several ceilings damaged by water. Everything is beautiful.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

One team owns everything - from initial design concepts through final construction. This means fewer handoffs between separate companies, clear accountability at every stage, and a smoother experience for you. Problems get solved faster because the designers and builders work side by side.
Once construction begins, most kitchen and bathroom remodels take 8-12 weeks to complete. The planning and design phase before construction typically adds 4-6 weeks. We provide a detailed timeline during your consultation so you know exactly what to expect.
No - that's the beauty of working with a design-build firm. Our in-house design team creates everything from initial concepts to detailed construction plans. All you need is an idea of what you'd like to change, and we handle the rest.
After the planning and design phase, we provide a fixed-price contract that covers every detail of your project. No surprise change orders, no vague allowances. You know exactly what you're paying before construction starts.
We use Chief Architect software to create photorealistic 3D renderings of your new space. You can see exactly what your kitchen, bathroom, or basement will look like - down to the countertop materials and cabinet hardware - before we swing a single hammer.
We serve homeowners throughout Waukesha and Milwaukee Counties, including Elm Grove, Wauwatosa, New Berlin, Brookfield, Hartland, Delafield, Oconomowoc, Muskego, and the greater Lake Country area.
