2nd Life Home Repair Founded in 2003, 2nd Life Home Repair and Remodeling Services, LLC serves all homeowners in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and surrounding areas. 2nd Life Home Repair and Remodeling Services LLC originally started out as a church project to help the elderly. Many of them had no one to call when something broke in the house, nor did they know what to do.

We decided to act and help them out. Not long after, it turned into a full-time company. From them on we were hired for various projects ranging from painting to roofing to drywalling and everything in between. Recently, due to market needs, we have decided to specialize in complete kitchen and bathroom remodeling, as that is where our expertise lies.

They did a nice job and kept you updated of the next steps during the remodel. Only issues were delays resulting in the supply chain problems. I'd use them again. Service: Remodeling

Great experience. I am glad we went with 2nd Life. Our remodeled kitchen is beautiful. Terrific workers, great communication. They handled every question we raised with top notch professionalism.

It went really well! And I am SO happy with my new bathroom. They tore down the walls around the bathtub and put in new cement board, tile, and a glass block window. Installed new faucets in the tub and new vanity, electrical and medicine cabinet. The communication through the project was excellent, whenever there was a slight hiccup it was addressed immediately.

And there were a few additional things that had to be adjusted after the completion of the project and they sent someone right away to deal with it. The workmanship was very good and I will definitely be hiring them for additional projects!

We used 2nd Life for a basement remodeling project. The communication throughout the process was excellent, and the online system they use to track project updates is the best I've used. Communication especially through challenging scheduling issues caused by COVID was extremely important, and it's an area where many contractors struggle. They were flexible, able to adjust to a few change requests without trouble, and their pricing is quite competitive. We were very happy with the quality of the work, and we hope to use them again in a future project.

I cannot say enough good things about 2nd Life Home Repair & Remodel. We completed a full second floor remodel of a Wauwatosa bungalow. When we ran into issue due to unreasonable demands by the Wauwatosa City Inspector trying to force us to make unneeded updates to sections of the house not even being remodeled, 2nd Life fought tooth and nail on our behalf and brought in many other experts to help.

They are professionals through and through. Communication was amazing and the team completed all of their work on time (minus delays caused solely by the City of Wauwatosa Inspector) and on-budget. They were transparent on everything, the project management was well laid out and easy to follow, and the quality of work was top-notch. I will use 2nd Life for all future remodels! You will not regret contracting with them, they are on your side!

If you're looking for a remodeling company, look no further than 2nd Life Home Repair & Remodeling. These people are the literal best. We asked them to do a remodel of our second floor and to put in a new bathroom and they absolutely rocked it out of the park! While we had some issues with the city regarding permits, 2nd Life was so great in guiding us through the process and helping us to understand what was going on.

They were also great in helping us to budget out our project and to make sure that everything was on task and on track to be completed during the projected timeline. The Co-Construct system that they use is absolutely amazing and it is really useful to keep track of what is happening and when so there are no surprises in terms of when work is happening or the cost. Overall, if you want people who do great work, and who are honest, professional, and affordable, call 2nd Life. I really cannot recommend them enough!

2nd Life remodeled my kitchen 2 years ago. I recently had an issue with a leaking shower faucet. I was told by the home warrenty plumber he could not get to the leaky valve and needed access through the wall. I call Tim to come out to give me an estimate to upen the wall for the plumber and to close it after they were finished. Tim come out and upon inspection, advised my to get a 2nd opinion.

I did and the second plumber was able to access the leaky valve and repair not only that one but relace all 3 valves. My wall is still intact. Tim went above and beyond. He is honest and gave me very good advice. Look no further for an honest contractor.

2nd Life was very professional and organized. Their quote was lower than others I got, but I never felt that I compromised quality. They remodeled my bathrooms by installing new toilets and a tub with tile. They were timely, respectful of my home, and were detail oriented. The new bathroom is so pretty and I would happily work with them again.

I was very happy with the experience with second life home remodeling. They were very professional, organized, and easy to work with. I had my bathroom remodeled and I’m very happy with the work. Everyone who worked on this project was knowledgeable and the workspace was very clean by the end of each day. The communication was excellent and their quote came in several hundred dollars less than others that I got. Would happily work with them again!

2nd Life Home repair Was great to work with. Although we did not go with their service because we ended up not doing the project because my family relocated, Tim was awesome to work with. He came by multiple times to look at what we wanted to do, and he spent the time to share his knowledge on the type of project we were doing. He was able to provide us with information he had based on projects he had done for house in the area as far as things that may need to be done to bring the room up to code based on our house being 100 years old.

The quote They gave us was very reasonable, and we were ready to pull the trigger, but we ended up selling the house as it was. When I talked to him about just doing part of the project, he was able to quickly write up a quote and let me know when they could do it. They were great to work with and very responsive and quick.

Our landlord had them redo our bathroom completely, and they did an outstanding job. The original bathroom was so tiny, but they made it much bigger and usable. Thank you 2nd Life!

We had three bathrooms remodeled at the same time, Tim and his team did a great job and we are very pleased with the results and the very reasonable cost. I would definitely use Tim again. He did almost everything--built interior walls, drywall, electrical, tiling floors and walls.he did bring a plumber in for some tricky plumbing work.

I was impressed with the professionalism and workmanship of the entire project. Tim from 2nd Life measured the sinks/countertops and followed with an estimate a few days later. The estimate included everything and was reasonable.

2nd Life was responsive to our needs and reasonably priced. We got a detailed estimate so we knew exactly what to expect. I am sure that the bigger construction companies could have had the job done sooner as they have several employees but they also have to pay those employees and that costs more money. 2nd Life did the job for half the price.

My husband and I wanted grab bars in our tub/shower. We have an old home with a large window above the bathtub, which required a second shower curtain behind the tub--not conducive to grab bars. We also had a vanity with a laminate top that extended above the toilet tank, making it difficult to accomplish any repairs.

I was impressed with Tim's ability to find unique and effective means of solving my problems. I was quite satisfied with the quality of his work and the extra efforts he put in to help evaluate the products he was going to install.
