Southeast Wisconsin
Design-build remodeling in Wauwatosa.
Monarch designs residential projects in Wauwatosa — whole-home remodels, kitchens, bathrooms, additions and accessory dwellings — and coordinates each through construction as one project rather than a series of separate trades.
Building in Wauwatosa
What projects here involve.
Wauwatosa exempts re-roofing and residing from a permit only where the work does not change the building's architectural style. That is an aesthetic test rather than a structural one, and it is a narrower exemption than the City of Waukesha's, which turns on whether there are structural changes. A profile or material change can pull the job back into permit territory here when it would not a few miles west.
A permit is required to alter any living space, which the city defines to include creating, reconfiguring or modifying space by adding or removing walls — basements, kitchens and baths are its own examples. Foundation work is explicitly in scope too, including beam installation, straightening, waterproofing and drain tile replacement.
Services
What we build in Wauwatosa.
Whole Home Remodeling
Two coordinated whole-house services — reconfiguration with layout changes, and comprehensive renovation where building systems are a principal objective.
Window Replacement & Installation
Window replacement and new openings across Waukesha and Milwaukee counties — insert, full-frame and siding-removal installation, with the finish work put back properly.
Kitchen Remodeling
Full kitchen renovation — layout, cabinetry, surfaces, lighting and the trades behind them.
Bathroom Remodeling
Bathroom renovation with the waterproofing, ventilation and plumbing done properly.
Home Additions
Adding conditioned square footage — structure, systems and roofline tied into the existing house.
ADUs & In-Law Suites
Detached and attached accessory dwellings — guest space, family space or rental space.
Basement & Lower Level Finishing
Finishing and reconfiguring lower levels in Southeast Wisconsin — family rooms, bedrooms and baths below grade, planned around moisture, egress and headroom before anything is framed.
Interior Remodeling
Two interior scopes — a whole-home finish refresh that keeps the layout and systems, and focused reconfiguration of selected rooms.
Outdoor Living
Patios, decks, pergolas and outdoor kitchens built for a freeze-thaw climate and a short season.
Exterior Remodeling
Siding, windows, doors and exterior finishes that hold up to a freeze-thaw climate.
Design & Preconstruction
The planning stage where scope, drawings, selections and budget are resolved before building.
Starting a project in Wauwatosa
